\nWilliam Hill said it took an $85,000 bet on Woods that would net $1.19 million, the bookmaker’s largest single liability on one golfer in company history. After rounds of 70-68, oddsmakers and fans alike will be fixated on the game’s all-time great heading into the weekend rounds.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
2015 Masters winner Jordan Spieth took in the third most money at the SuperBook. He soared 34 places Friday by recovering from a +3 round of 75 by shooting -4 in the second. Justin Rose, the game’s No. 1 player in the world and an odds-on favorite, missed the cut at +4.<\/p>\n
One of the more surprising storylines through the first 36 holes is the play of Harding. He entered the week at 400\/1 to win, meaning bettors who put just $10 on the South African would win $4,000 should he find a way to outscore golf’s best players.<\/p>\n
Fan-favorite Phil Mickelson, who has three green jackets in his closet, stumbled Friday after a first-round 67. He’s at -4.<\/p>\n

Schauffele stands at 14\/1, while Jon Rahm (-5) is at 16\/1. Ian Poulter (-5), Justin Thomas (-3), and Fowler are at 33\/1.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
The Masters heads into the weekend with a jam-packed leaderboard, as five players are tied for the lead at -7 par. Francesco Molinari, Jason Day, Brooks Koepka, 2013 Masters champ Adam Scott, and Louis Oosthuizen sit atop the leaderboard.
