South Africans Louis Oosthuizen and Justin Harding looked strong as TheMasters tournament headed into the weekend at the Augusta National Golf Club
Oosthuizen shot a 66 in Friday’s second round to share the overall lead on seven-under for the tournament with Brooks Koepka, Adam Scott, Francesco Molinari and Jason Day, while Harding and three others are a shot behind.
“I think tomorrow is a day when you just really want to produce some good shots, not try too much and play yourself out of the tournament. You just want to have a decent round and then Sunday you can make the decision on a lot of holes whether you want to be very aggressive or not.” “In a way I am quite happy that I did not shoot a par on the last. This way at least I don’t have to stress overnight about being first. And hopefully I will be able to have a good sleep without worrying.”
He admitted that he had looked at the scoreboard throughout. “I watched it the whole way around. Look, it is my first time here and my name is on the scoreboard, so I am going to be looking at it.”
