What he said: "I've contended in a couple majors and obviously being in position going into Saturday here at the Masters is going to be special. I'm not going to put too much pressure on myself, but I'd be lying to say it's not a great feeling and a great spot to be."

71-69 (tied for 1st)
Highlight: He birdied the opening three holes to start the second round for the first time in his career at the Masters, according to ESPN.
