AUGUSTA, GA. - Two of Oklahoma State's four representatives at The Masters Tournament made the cut following Friday's second round at Augusta National Golf Club.
Former Cowboy All-American Rickie Fowler fired a 3-under 69 on Friday to come in at 5-under 139 and tied for seventh place. The Murrieta, Calif., native will begin the weekend five shots off the pace of tournament leader Rory McIlroy, who posted a 69 while playing alongside Fowler to finish at 134.
After making bogey at the first for the second-straight day, Fowler lit up the outward nine with birdies at Nos. 2, 5, 6 and 7 to turn at 3-under 33. Following bogeys at Nos. 10 and 11, Fowler moved back to 3-under for the day with birdies at the 12th and the 15th.
Fellow OSU alum Bo Van Pelt posted a 3-under 69 of his own to move into a tie for 20th at 2-under 142.
Former Cowboy Hunter Mahan just missed the cut, finishing at 2-over 146 and narrowly missed a birdie put at the 18th to finish one shot off the cut line.
Cowboy junior Peter Uihlein followed an opening 72 with a 77 on Friday to wrap up his first-ever Masters at 5-over 149.
Van Pelt will tee off at 12:25 p.m. (EST) and will be paired with Japan's Ryo Ishikawa, while Fowler will begin his third round at 2:05 p.m. and will play with Fred Couples.
