Justin Thomas said in an interview during the TV coverage of the Masters that he had “a long, long day” ahead of him at Augusta National Golf Course on Saturday. The former Alabama All-American was right, but probably not in the way that he intended.

When the second round of the Masters went into its second weather delay on Friday, Thomas was at 2-under par through 27 holes. Playing on a cold, rainy morning, Thomas completed his second round by shooting 6 over on the back nine on Saturday.

At 4-over par for the tournament, Thomas missed the cut at the Masters for the first time in eight visits to Augusta National Golf Club. The top 50 scores and ties advanced to the third round, and Thomas missed the cut by one shot.

Walking on the 14th on Saturday, Thomas was asked about the biggest challenge with the playing conditions.

“How long do you guys have?” Thomas replied.

At that point, after getting up at 4:45 a.m. to prepare for play, Thomas expected to have “a long, long day ahead of me” with the third round set to follow the completion of the second round on Saturday. But it was not the kind of long day that championship golfers such as Thomas usually have.

Playing “in every piece of layer that I had,” Thomas double-bogeyed the 11th hole and bogeyed No. 12. After birding the par-5 15th in the first round, Thomas took a 6 on the hole on Saturday morning, and a bogey-bogey finish in a hard rain on the closing par-4s put Thomas out of the tournament.

“It’s hard out here,” Thomas had said while walking down the 14th. “There’s really no other way to say it.”

None of the other players with Alabama golf roots in this year’s Masters field made the cut either.

Like Thomas, former Faulkner State All-American Bubba Watson had to finish his second round on Saturday morning. He bogeyed two of his remaining six holes to complete a 4-over round. The two-time Masters champion finished at 9-over.

That’s the same score recorded by former Mountain Brook High School state champ Gordon Sargent, who played in his first Masters as an amateur after receiving a special invitation from Augusta National Golf Club.

The Vanderbilt sophomore carded a 5-over 77 on Thursday and a 4-over 76 on Friday.

Jacksonville State alumnus and 2016 Masters winner Danny Willett had a pair of 75s to finish at 6-over for the tournament.
