There were significant shakeups in the Masters odds , with contenders Jon Rahm (+6) and Bryson DeChambeau (+4) struggling in Round 1. Here are my top Round 2 Masters picks and Rory McIlroy best bet for Friday, April 10. Best Masters Round 2 predictions Golfer Pick Brooks Koepka Top 20 52¢ -108 Adam Scott Top 20 48¢ +101 Rory McIlroy End of Round 2 Leader 32¢ +198 Top 20: Brooks Koepka (-108/strong52¢/strong ) Considering Brooks Koepka played in the more difficult afternoon conditions and ranked fourth in true strokes gained on approach and ninth in tee-to-green play in Round 1, there’s strong value at this price.

His Thursday 70 has him T17, and he’s set to tee off at 9:55 a. m. ET for Round 2.

The struggle for Koepka continues to be his putter, as he lost true strokes on the greens Thursday. Still, his tee-to-green game was sharp, and he made five birdies, so the potential to go low is there. Top 20: Adam Scott (+101/strong48¢/strong ) Adam Scott fired an even-par 70 in Round 1 despite hitting just nine of 18 greens in regulation and ranking 74th in true strokes gained on approach.
