Sepp Straka misses the cut at the Masters: dramatic triple bogey!
Sepp Straka missed the cut into the weekend in his fourth participation in the Masters in Augusta. The 31-year-old Austrian played a weak round on Thursday, which made life difficult for him at the start of the tournament. On Friday he was able to improve with a round of 71 strokes (1 under par), but a total of 149 strokes (5 over par) was not enough to assert himself in the table. Straka was therefore outside the top 50.
Despite his strong second round, in which he got under the cut mark after 16 holes, a bogey on the 17th hole and a triple bogey on the final hole ruined his chances of advancing. These unexpected blows caused him to miss the opportunity to compete at the weekend.
