Golf fans are reacting on social media to the coverage of the second round of The Masters. Viktor Hovland got hot on Friday, shooting a three-under-par 69 and putting him at four under par for the tournament.
Bryson DeChambeau is also near the top of the leaderboard. On social media, many golf fans don't believe the game's best players are being shown on the various broadcats, specifically referencing DeChambeau.
The official X account of The Masters posted a video of Hovland's birdie on the par-three 16th hole, which briefly put him at six-under par for the tournament before he bogeyed the final two holes of his round. Many fans in the comments praised Hovland, while others criticized the tournamen't broadcast coverage for not showing enough of DeChambeau's shots.
