History-maker Guan flirts with Masters cut

Chinese teen wonder Guan Tianlang shot a 75 in the second round of the Masters on Friday to give himself a chance of making the cut and playing in the final two rounds at the weekend.

The 14-year-old amateur from Guangzhou became the youngest player in the history of the Masters on Thursday when he carded a one-over 73 that included four birdies and five bogeys.

On Friday, he dropped two shots at the fourth and seventh, as heavy rain fell on Augusta National, to reach the turn in 38.

But with the weather brightening, he then calmly picked his way around the fearful Amen Corner (holes 11-13) without dropping a stroke and parred his way in from there until a bogey at the 17th dropped him to four over, expected to be close to the cut line.
