(Photo: AFP)AUGUSTA, Georgia - Top-ranked Scottie Scheffler and England’s Justin Rose were set for early starts chasing co-leaders Rory McIlroy and Sam Burns as Friday’s second round of the Masters began at Augusta National. Defending champion McIlroy, trying to become only the fourth golfer to capture back-to-back Masters titles, and Burns were on five-under par 67 after 18 holes. That left the early stage to 2013 US Open champion Rose, a three-time Masters runner-up who lost to McIlroy in a playoff last year, and four-time major winner Scheffler, who seeks his third green jacket in five seasons. “Every hole you’re just being patient through experience, knowing that grinding out the pars is a good thing,” Rose said.
