Schwartzel, Bezuidenhout, Lawrence struggle at the Masters: Can they make the cut?
Charl Schwartzel of South Africa pictured during the first round of the 2025 Masters at Augusta National. The three South Africans in the Masters field face a struggle to make the cut after poor first rounds and the expected windy condition in round two. Johannesburg-born Englishman Justin Rose is the clubhouse leader after shooting a magnificent seven-under-par 65 on Thursday to take the first-round lead, three strokes clear of defending champion Scottie Scheffler, Corey Conners and Ludvig Aberg. However, none of the South Africans could manage under-par rounds. Charl Schwartzel finished with a two-over-par 74, while Christiaan Bezuidenhout shot a four-over-par 76. Thriston Lawrence, who had a top 2024, had a nightmare first ever round at Augusta National when he came in with a seven-over-par 79. The projected cut is likely to be a round three- or four-over-par, which means that Schwartzel and Bezuidenhout, especially, will likely have to shoot under-par on Friday to make the cut.

SA star Charl Schwartzel eyes second Masters Green Jacket at Augusta: ‘I am feeling good about it'
Charl Schwartzel Charl Schwartzel is one of three South Africans starting their bid for the Masters title at Augusta National on Thursday afternoon. Photo: AFP Image:/AFP Former Masters champion Charl Schwartzel will go into Thursday's first round at Augusta National full of confidence that he can repeat his winner's exploits of 2011. He will be one of three South Africans at golf's first major of the year, and the 40-year-old has set his sights on a second Green Jacket in 2025. After a strong performance in his last tournament at the LIV Golf Miami event, where he came second, Schwartzel feels a consistent performance could aid his challenge for a second win. Rory McIlroy reflects on what this week means. #themasters — The Masters (@TheMasters) April 8, 2025 For the first time in a couple of years, he arrived at Augusta with clarity on what lies ahead. 'I am feeling good about it, to be honest,' he said about his Masters chances. 'There were a lot of good signs for me at the beginning of this year. I've worked hard, I've gotten a lot fitter, and have lost a lot of kilogrammes. I am feeling good in general, so we will see. I am quite content. 'I am very privileged to play Augusta, and we'll keep it at that.' Schwartzel, who is grouped with Denny McCarthy of America and amateur Singaporean Hiroshi Tai, will tee off at 5.49pm (SA time) and will be the final South African in the field. Ahead of him, Christiaan Bezuidenhout (5.38pm) play alongside US duo Tom Hoge and Matt McCarty. Debutant Thriston Lawrence (5.10pm) will be the first SA player to grace the course alongside Spaniard José María Olazábal and Brian Campbell from the US. Schwartzel described Augusta as a second-shot golf course where you must be accurate with your irons. He says there's still a bit of leeway when you drive off the tee box, and those who do well on the course are good iron players. He remembers the 16th hole fondly, although No 12 and No 13, with the blooming azaleas, are the most beautiful holes on the course. 'The more you play the greens, the more you understand how to putt,' Schwartzel said. 'As opposed to someone who plays here for the first time, they struggle because there is so much more break in a normal putt. 'It doesn't get easier when you play there often, but you, in a way, get more used to the breaks on the greens (and how fast it runs). 'I could never forget 16 because of the year that I won (in 2011), the eruption that happened there when I made the putt... it always stands out. 'But I would say the most beautiful part is 12 and 13 with the azaleas, but 16 will always stand out for me.' Ludvig Åberg stormed onto the professional golf scene. In his second Masters, he plans to cement his place in the game. #themasters — The Masters (@TheMasters) April 8, 2025

Rippers, Marc Leishman sweep both trophies on demanding Blue Monster
MIAMI: The all-Australian Ripper GC team held a preseason training camp in January on the Blue Monster at Trump National Doral. The weather was cold, misty and windy. The 10th fairway was inaccessible. The conditions were brutal — but the payoff came Sunday at LIV Golf Miami. The Rippers won the battle of survival under the harshest scoring circumstances in league history, with popular veteran Marc Leishman claiming his first LIV Golf individual title after shooting the week's only bogey-free round. His Rippers won the team title with a cumulative 4-over total, the first time any team has won with an over-par score. 'It kicked our butts when we were here in January for the training camp, and it did the same again this week,' Leishman said. 'I guess it kicked our butt less than everyone else.' Leishman conquered the Blue Monster on Sunday by posting the only bogey-free round by any player this week, a 5-under 67 to finish at 6 under, one stroke better than Stinger GC's Charl Schwartzel. Fireballs GC captain Sergio Garcia was another stroke back in solo third. It's the 14th time in LIV Golf history that a team has swept both trophies. And it's the first win of any kind in four years for the 41-year-old Leishman, who had three runner-up finishes and five other top 10s since joining LIV Golf with his captain Cameron Smith in the middle of the inaugural 2022 season. 'It's been a long time coming for Leish,' Smith said. 'He's knocked on so many doors, and at times has felt probably unlucky. Even for me as a mate, I've felt like he's been unlucky.' In the previous LIV Golf tournament in Singapore last month, Leishman tied for 51st, his worst result in LIV Golf. But on a demanding course toughened by wind gusts and firm greens, Leishman produced a masterpiece of steady, patient play. 'It was pretty disgusting how I played there,' Leishman said of Singapore. 'To come back on a golf course like this where there's trouble around every single corner, I think playing so bad in Singapore helped me today just not letting my guard down at all.' Leishman started Sunday three shots off the lead but quickly moved up the leaderboard with birdies in two of his first four holes. He shared the lead with round 2 leader Bryson DeChambeau through eight holes, but the Crushers GC captain went bogey-double bogey around the turn to effectively end his chances. Leishman's final birdie of the day at the par-5 10th gave him a three-shot cushion and he nursed it with eight consecutive pars to end his round, never providing his challengers with an opening. Even so, several players made a charge on the back nine. Stingers GC's Charl Schwartzel reeled off four straight birdies to climb into contention, while teammate Dean Burmester, the defending LIV Golf Miami champion, also made noise before a disastrous final two holes. Garcia, seeking his second win of the season, was 3-under during a 11-hole stretch. His birdie at the 17th after a brilliant approach shot moved him within a shot of Leishman's lead. Leishman, playing in the group ahead of Garcia, found the trees with his tee shot at the 18th and had to punch out. His third shot left him 13 feet above the pin, but he knocked in the clutch par putt to keep the lead. Garcia ultimately bogeyed the 18th, hitting his tee shot into the trees, then finding the water with his approach. 'I've played well in a lot of LIV events,' Leishman said. 'I've had chances to win, haven't won. You wonder if you're going to win again … I doubted myself but that just made it all so much sweeter today.'
