The second round of the first major of the year takes place on Good Friday. Here are the live updates.

3:05 P.M. ET–World Matchplay champion Sam Burns in the clubhouse at -5.
3:05 P.M. ET–Rory McIlroy misses the cut at +5.
3:07 P.M. ET–Fred Couples records a par on the 14th hole. Currently at even par. If Couples makes the cut, he would be the oldest player in Masters history to make the cut. His age is 63 years, six months and four days. The current record belongs to Germany’s Bernard Langer, who was 63 years, two months, and 18 days when he made the cut in 2020. Couples won the Masters in 1992. Langer, who won the Masters in 1985 and 1993, is at +5. The current cutline is +3.
3:07 PM ET–Rain delay.
3:28 PM ET–Action resuming after a 21-minute disruption.
3:36 PM ET–Sandy Lyle of Balquhidder, Scotland and Larry Mize of Augusta, Georgia are playing the final Masters of their careers. Lyle, who is 65 years old and won the Masters in 1988 and the British Open in 1985, is +18. Mize, who is 64 years old, and won the Masters in 1987, is +9. Even though Lyle and Mize will no longer be at the Masters, they are still invited to attend the major and be a guest at the Champion’s Dinner.
3:47 PM ET–Just saw a child among the patrons in the gallery. Wonder if the children’s cost is $1000 per day as well?
3:53 PM ET–Jon Rahm moves into a tie for second place at -8.
