Augusta - 9-12 April, 2009
The 1987 Masters winner Larry Mize gets proceedings under way on day two but hits the rough and double bogeys the opening hole before two birdies and another bogey leave him one-over on the day
Another major winner to find himself with an early tee time is 2004 Open champion Todd Hamilton, one of seven players to start the day four-under. After a patchy start he birdies 8, 9 and 10 to move to five-under overall
Hunter Mahan, joint second after the first day, takes a birdie on the opening hole, sharing the lead with Chad Campbell before a bad round, including a triple-bogey, leaves him seven shots off the pace
Campbell responds with birdies at the second, fourth and eighth, three-under for the day, ten-under par overall, as Mahan can only bogey the second, double bogey the third and return to four-under overall
Birdies at holes nine and 10 make Graeme McDowell the highest-placed European on the leaderboard at five-under, before three dropped shots on the back nine leave the Northern Irishman two-under at the clubhouse
Tiger Woods, returning to majors golf after knee surgery eight months ago yet highly-fancied to win the tournament, starts his second round with five pars, birdie, bogey, birdie, bogey
Campbell stretches his lead as he takes another birdie at hole 10 but the Texan drops shots at holes 11, 12 and 17, and birdies the last to finish with a round of 70, nine-under par overall
Hamilton is the first player in serious contention for the lead to get to the clubhouse, ending on six-under, including an eagle on the 15th, joint-second with Jim Furyk at the time
The par-three 12th has seen many shots dropped but Kenny Perry bags the hole's first birdie of the round to sneak him to seven-under, clear of the pack but still chasing Campbell
The best round belongs to one of the US Ryder Cup heroes of 2008, Masters debutante Anthony Kim, seven-under par by the end of the day, with a course-record 11 birdies, four-under overall, and tying ninth place
Kim's form does not rub off on partner Rory McIlroy who, having been sixth after an eagle at 13, slips down the table with a four-putt double bogey at 16, and a triple bogey at 18
Woods finishes the round in 72: Three birdies, three bogeys, having driven in to the crowds at 13 and driven 340 yards at 18 - only to flunk his lay-up and bogey putt
Angel Cabrera, flirting with the lead in the first round, birdies the fourth, thanks to a good tee shot, the eighth, the 13th and 14th, dropping one on 15 but getting it back on 18, to be within a shot of the top
Overnight second-placer Jim Furyk, hits five shots on most of the first nine par fours, moving him down to five-under par, tying fifth place, before slipping another shot and place on the way to the clubhouse
Though his round is two shots over Kim's, Perry happily hits the clubhouse joint top of the leaderboard, five-under for the second round, nine-under overall, not dropping a shot all day, and capped with a birdie on the 18th
The surprise comeback of the day is Sandy Lyle's. Having been two-over on the front nine, including four bogeys in a row, the Scot hits five straight birdies (but drops a shot at 18) to card a second round of 70
Gary Player crosses the 13th hole - where Phil Mickelson, Padraig Harrington and McIlroy snatch eagles - on his last ever round at the Masters, after 52 appearances and three wins for the 73-year-old
This year's Augusta style icon Shingo Katayama rocks a second round all-black Metallica look but even that can't help a score of one-over par, including a couple of teasing birdie misses, leaving him joint seventh
Sergio Garcia finishes day two four-under and the leading European - Henrik Stenson is three-under and Padraig Harrington two-under - his round of 67 including hitting the flag on 16 and the drive of the day on 17
