The 2022 Masters is finally underway, with the first round already ended on Thursday. Moreover, the field this week at the Augusta National includes some of the big names in golf. However, with the tough conditions at Augusta National Golf Club, it will be interesting to see how many players make it to the weekend.

What will be the cutline at the 2022 Masters?

The first round of the first major event of the year proved how harsh the conditions were at the course. The scoring conditions in the first round were +1.83 strokes per round. Not to mention, the weather conditions made Augusta even more challenging. Professionals will have a tough time ahead as the event moves into Friday. Traditionally when the Masters was played in 1957, a 36 holes cutline would help low 40 players and the ties to move into the weekend.

But with the recent ruling, low 50 players and ties will be able to play at Augusta during the weekend. A total of 59 players are at two-over-par or better. Moreover, with only a limited number of players being able to make the cutline, let’s look at some of the cutline predictions heading into the second round on Friday.

According to datagolf, the top three cut line predictions for the 2022 Masters are two-over-par. The cutline of two-over-par has the lowest possibility of 13.5 percent, followed by three-over-par, which has a probability of 35.9 percent. The last predictive cutline score that will come into force after the second round on Friday is four-over-par, with a chance of 34.7 percent. Not to forget that Augusta has some tricky holes with narrow fairways where club selection is the key.

Moreover, the 10th and the 11 holes play as one of the most challenging holes on the golf course, followed by the par 3 12th and the par-five fifth hole, which are also not easy for professionals. Considering all the factors in mind, seeing how many players advance into the weekend at Augusta will be interesting.

Who won the 2021 Masters?

Hideki Matsuyama won the 2021 Masters. As a result, he became the first Japanese professional to win a major championship event. He won the event with an overall score of 10-under-par; thereby, he won with a one-shot cushion. He carded a final round of one-over-par, 73. His final round included three birdies and one bogey on the front nine. In turn, he moved out in two-under-par, 34. He made one birdie and four bogeys on the back nine on route to a victory at Augusta.

Will Zalatoris ended as the runner-up to Hideki. He ended the event with an overall score of nine-under-par. As a result, Will had to settle for a solo second position finish. With Hideki playing well this season, it will be interesting to see if he can win again at the Masters.
