Michael Kim has been enjoying himself on his second start at The Masters, where he has made the cut for the first time.

The Masters is now into round three at Augusta National, with Justin Rose having entered the day sitting atop the leaderboard.

Rose finished on eight-under to lead the way at the halfway stage, one shot ahead of Bryson DeChambeau in second.

His fellow American Kim loved his practice round with Phil Mickelson, with the duo going on to have contrasting fates in Georgia.

Kim sat T17 on two-under heading into the weekend, with three-time Masters champion Mickelson finishing on five-over to miss the cut.

Continuing his updates during The Masters, Kim wrote on X: “lol lots asking me about Cam on 16… it’s not the first time that has happened won’t be the last.

“That being said, before he hit his last putt, I put my head down because I didn’t want to see any more putts lip out since I had a 5ft par putt left haha.

“He made it, I made it, no worries. As I’m walking up 17 fairway, I asked my caddie what he made cuz I didn’t want to recount what had happened. My caddie goes 7, I write down 7.

“At scoring Cam tells me he made 6 not 7… I go oh… sorry Cam, he replied, it’s fine. Easy to get confused there…”

Cameron Young follows Ernie Els with putting nightmare at The Masters

Young ended up with a disastrous triple-bogey on the 16th, which he followed with back-to-back bogeys on the par-four 17th and 18th.

His lengthy putt for par was followed by three putts from two feet, with the American likely to be scarred from the incident for quite some time.

But as Kim mentioned, he hasn’t been the first to suffer such disaster at Augusta, and he definitely won’t be the last.

The legendary Ernie Els found himself in an even worse position back in 2016, suffering complete and utter disaster on the par-four first.

Young’s resulted in a second round 79, which followed an opening round of 72 as he finished on seven-over to miss the cut.

Kim meanwhile has impressed so far with back-to-back 71s, with the one-time PGA Tour winner having missed the cut on his only other Masters start in 2019.
