The number of contenders for this year's green jacket has gotten smaller.
What began as an 89-man field in the 2024 Masters Tournament was cut down by nearly 30 golfers following Friday's second round at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia.
There's a three-way tie atop the leaderboard involving Max Homa, 2022 Masters champion Scottie Scheffler and one-time major champ Bryson DeChambeau, all of whom sit at 6-under.
DeChambeau held a one-stroke lead for first place through one round before shooting a 1-over 73 on Friday. Homa posted a 1-under 71 and Scheffler shot an even 72 par as they moved into a tie for first.

Nicolai Højgaard dropped from third to fourth at 4-under after a 1-over second round. Cam Davis and two-time major winner Collin Morikawa are tied for fifth at 3-under.
Tiger Woods, meanwhile, made history by making the Masters cut for a 24th consecutive time, breaking the tournament record he shared with Gary Player and Fred Couples. The five-time Masters winner is tied for 22nd at 1-over after shooting an even par in Round 2.
Reigning champion Jon Rahm has a good amount of ground to make up in order to secure a historic Masters repeat as he sits at 5-over. Rory McIlroy, who's trying to complete the career grand slam with a green jacket, is just ahead of Rahm at 4-over.
