Billy Horschel has continued his difficult relationship with The Masters this year, having failed to make the cut.
Horschel knows he has struggled at The Masters over the years, with T17 in 2016 his best finish at the major.
And Horschel has now missed the opportunity to improve upon that, having finished his first two rounds of The Masters on five-over.
Golf fans want Horschel on the Ryder Cup team, but such calls have largely come due to his impressive displays on TGL.
On the PGA Tour in 2025, the American has been really struggling to find form, with just six of 10 cuts made heading into the first major of the season.
Billy Horschel says his ‘putter was cold’ as he misses the cut at The Masters
Another missed cut can now be added to his list for 2025, with the early exit at Augusta now briefly analysed by Horschel on social media.
“Sucks to miss the cut The Masters,” he wrote on X. “Score doesn’t indicate how solid I played over 36 holes. Just didn’t score very well.
“5 3 putts and played par 5s in +1. Putter was cold this week again. One of the positive takeaways from this week is mentally this is the best Masters I’ve ever had.”
What Billy Horschel told Nick Dunlap after impressive recovery at The Masters
As mentioned, Augusta National hasn’t exactly been a happy hunting ground for 38-year-old American Horschel.
Many fans would have been hoping to see the charismatic character make the weekend, but his disappointing start means it isn’t meant to be.

He commenced proceedings with a five-over 77 in round one, although Horschel did manage to recover with an even par 72 in round two.
But it wasn’t enough to see rounds three and four, on what was a 10th start at The Masters for the eight-time PGA Tour winner.
Joining him in a missed cut was Nick Dunlap, but the experienced Horschel was fortunately on hand to lend the youngster some advice at Augusta.
Relaying what Horschel said to Dunlap, the PGA Tour’s Paul Hadowanic wrote on X: “I told him, ‘I’ve got a lot of respect for the way you handled it and you’ve earned a lot of respect from players and from the millions watching.’
“I truly believe in karma, and he could’ve withdrawn, but he didn’t. I believe karma is a b—- and I don’t know if he will go on to win next week, but the good karma will come around.”
Dunlap can indeed hold his head high after the recovery, carding a second round 71 after a disastrous round one 90.
The 21-year-old already has two PGA Tour wins to his name, although is set to finish dead last at The Masters on 17-over.
