Two rounds of golf have come and gone at Augusta National, and like always, it feels like it’s flying by. The Masters has a way of doing that. But with two rounds still to play, we’ve got another opportunity to find some value and cash a few tickets heading into moving day.

Fade Hatton After a Nice Day Two
Tyrrell Hatton is one of the more interesting names near the top of the board right now. He’s been a consistent presence in major championships over the last few years, and his overall game absolutely fits the test that Augusta presents. That said, we’ve also seen him struggle to truly close the door in these big moments. He doesn’t necessarily need to do that in Round 3, but it’s fair to question whether he can maintain this level of play.
He’s also one of the few LIV players who has actually shown up and played some serious golf this week. Nothing against that tour, but it’s hard to ignore the lack of reps on difficult, demanding golf courses. Augusta is a completely different animal, especially when the pressure starts to build over the weekend. It raises the question — is this version of Hatton sustainable, or was that second round more of an outlier performance?
The Pick: Clark +112 v Hatton
Henley Plots Along
On the other side, Russell Henley brings a completely different profile, but one that I really like for a round like Saturday. He’s never going to overpower a golf course with distance, especially at a place like Augusta where length can be a real advantage. But what he does bring is control, precision, and the ability to spike with his irons.
Henley is the type of player who can put together what I’d call a “clean and green” round — gaining strokes across the board without doing anything overly flashy. At Augusta, that can go a long way. Especially on moving day, when the course tends to bite back and players start pressing, having that steady, controlled approach becomes even more valuable.
He doesn’t need to do anything extraordinary. He just needs to stay in position, continue to hit quality iron shots, and avoid the big mistakes that can derail a round in a hurry here.
In a round where patience and discipline are going to be key, I really like the skillset Henley brings to the table. It’s not loud, it’s not flashy, but it’s exactly the type of golf that can quietly climb a leaderboard at Augusta National.
The Pick: Henley -170 v Johnson
