The Masters resumes on Friday morning at Augusta National with a loaded leaderboard to start the second round. A field size of 87 means we’re likely to get some superstars and top names near the top of the leaderboard, but Thursday ended with a flurry that had Brooks Koepka, Bryson DeChambeau, and Phil Mickelson shooting to the front.

That trio will be out in the earlier side of the draw for the second round on Friday. With such a small field, the early and late draw is not as pronounced. At a U.S. Open or British Open, you might be teeing off before 8 a.m. one day and 3 p.m. the next. This week, if you’re one of the “big names,” you’re playing in the middle of the day, more or less. The very last tee time of the day is 2 p.m. ET and the green jackets do keep loading up the anchor spots with some of their featured groups.

The back end of the tee sheet on Friday will feature Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, and Rickie Fowler, among others. Tiger posted a 2-under 70 on Thursday and he’s finished inside the top 10 every time at this event after getting into red figures in the first round. Tiger drove the ball remarkably well by his standards on Thursday. But his ballstriking and putting left him at a few critical times, turning what should have been a round in the mid-to-upper 60s into a 70. Woods will go at 1:49 p.m. ET on Friday. Typically, the greens a bumpier and conditions are tougher late in the day, but that wasn’t the case with Thursday’s scores.

ESPN will have the second round coverage again on Friday afternoon. The broadcast may be on ESPN, but this is 100 percent a CBS production. It’s their people in the truck and mostly their people — Jim Nantz, Nick Faldo, Peter Kostis, et al — on the air. Scott Van Pelt and Curtis Strange will drop in for updates from Butler Cabin and elsewhere but it’s a CBS show, just on a different network. Here’s your media schedule for the second round:
