Jason Day loves Augusta National, and if you didn’t pick him in your pool or your Fantasy Golf team, then well, you should have listened to me! I kid, I kid.

In difficult conditions with swirling winds and tucked pins, Day, who is trying to become the first Australian to win The Masters, fired an impressive four-under 68, six-under total, to take a one-shot lead over fellow Australian Marc Leishman and 53-year-old Fred Couples.

Tianlang Guan, the 14-year-old amateur from China, received a one-shot penalty for slow play on the 17th hole during the second round of The Masters.

What a performance by the kid, who received an invitation to play at Augusta after winning the Asian Amateur, shooting a one-over 73 in his major debut.

The first- and second-round pairings are out for the Masters! I’ll cut to the chase —  Tiger Woods is grouped with Luke Donald and Scott Piercy at 10:45am on Thursday.

Maybe it’s just me, but the Green Coats seemed to have more fun with the pairings just a few years ago. Wait, no, they don’t have a sense of humor. I’m thinking of the U.S. Open. Duh. (Obviously, I’m typing train of thought.) Anyway, here are the groups that stood out to me (all times EST) — and there are quite a few:
