T.J. Vogel, the reigning U.S. Public Links champion, was also four shots out after rounds of 77-75.

Nathan Smith, in his third Masters start after his record fourth U.S. Mid-Am championship, missed the cut after rounds of 77-78.

Smith was two shots better than reigning U.S. Amateur winner Steven Fox, who struggled Friday with an 81 after a first-round 76.

Alan Dunbar, who earned his Masters berth by winning the 2012 British Amateur, shot rounds of 83-77.
