The Masters is already well underway at Augusta National, where Justin Rose emerged as the early leader in round one.

PGA Tour players have started brightly at The Masters this week, with Rose followed by Scottie Scheffler, Corey Conners and Ludvig Aberg in T2.

But just behind that trio are Tyrrell Hatton and Bryson DeChambeau, both of whom currently play on LIV Golf.

DeChambeau loves being back at Augusta, where he is chasing a first Masters title but a third major championship win.

And he has certainly started well in that pursuit, with the two-time US Open champion carding a first round three-under 69.

There is, however, negativity surrounding the American on day two, with many fans left angry that he is not in The Masters featured groups on Friday.

“I wanna watch Bryson,” one fan wrote on X, before adding: “It’s insane you are not going to be able to watch Bryson’s other than 4-6 and amen corner.”

A second angry and disappointed fan commented: “What does Bryson have to do to get a featured group man?”

A third supporter meanwhile wrote: “We want Bryson,” with a fourth Masters fan saying: “Give the people Bryson.”

Anger arrived elsewhere from another fan: “I don’t understand how one of the most popular names in the game of golf and currently sitting top 5 isn’t featured.”

And another commented: “Not having Bryson in a group on both Day 1 and Day 2 is the worst possible decision anyone could have made. I assume the person picking these groups has never watched golf before?”

Golf fans rightfully angry after Bryson DeChambeau Masters snub

DeChambeau fans and even golf fans in general are right to feel hard done by with his round two omission.

First and foremost, he is in real contention after round one, and looks capable of keeping the pace with the early leaders.

But perhaps more importantly, he has one of the biggest personalities in world golf, and with that one of the biggest followings.

Excitement always follows DeChambeau wherever he goes, as witnessed when he won the US Open at Pinehurst last year.
