The influence of golf, Paige Spiranac, had kind words about the performance of Nick Dunlap in the second round of the Masters on Friday after he had a very horrible first time in Augusta National.
Dunlap became the first competitor of the Masters in a decade, and the youngest in the history of the tournament, in shooting at 90 in the course. He released five shots on his last three holes to finish the nightmare on Thursday and did not talk to the journalists later.

He could have easily retired from the tournament when he fell on the rhythm to cut. However, Dunlap showed his resolution and recovered.
The 21 -year -old charged a 71 in the second round on Friday, one of the best scores for anyone who entered the Tee box. Unfortunately, the cutting line was +2 and it was +17 for the tournament.
“The massive accessories for Dunlap for shooting under the pair today after its first round 90,” Spiranac wrote in X. “He could have easily done it, but he caught him and returned with a great round! We have all been there. Golf can eat you alive but your next great round is always just around the corner.”

After the disastrous first round of Thursday, the world of golf felt by Dunlap.
I have played with him several times this year, and what a great player, what a great guy, “said Robert MacIntyre.” He was fighting today, (but) his attitude was solid. He did not get in the way. He did not fire anything to affect his two players because we have a job to do.
“I feel for him today, but he will return.”
Dunlap was far from being the only one to lose the cut. He talked about his two rounds later.

“Today I had more a knot in the stomach of what I had a golf round,” he said, through ESPN. “I didn’t have a very good feeling about it today. Proud of myself to publish something under the pair.”
