Augusta National Golf Club: Indian-Americans Akshay Bhatia and Sahith Theegala handled the tough and windy conditions at the Augusta National Golf Club to make the 36-hole cut in the 88th Masters.

Bhatia, 22, who won the Valero Texas Open last week, shot (72-75) to be T-30, while Theegala (74-74) was T-35, despite a triple bogey.

World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler held on in strong winds though he missed a few birdie chances. He shot even par 72 which included three birdies and three bogeys, but of the four Par-5s, he had two birdies but also gave away a bogey on one. Scheffler, who won the Masters in 2022, shared the lead with overnight leader Bryson DeChambeau (65-73) and Max Homa (67-71) at 6-under 138.
