Georgia Golfer Makes Cut at 73rd Annual Masters Tournament

Larry Mize has made a comeback at the 73rd annual Masters Tournament, making the cut after the first two rounds, according to projections from tournament officials. Mize, an Augusta native, scored five-under-par 67 on Thursday and four-over-par 76 on Friday, his score slipping along with the scores of many other players.

Mize blamed wind for the higher scores on Friday.

Mize, who now lives in Columbus, won the Masters in 1987 and has only made the cut twice in the last ten years.

Ryuji Imada, who played on the University of Georgia golf team, also made the cut, but barely, according to the projections.

Oliver Wilson, who attended Augusta State University, and Stewart Cink, of Duluth, did not make the cut. Cink blamed both wind and pin placements by tournament officials for his score.
