If you watched the firs two rounds of The Masters and found it to be lacking something, you’ve got company.
Grammy-winning rapper and noted sports fan Lil Wayne took to X on Friday to lament the ESPN broadcast missing out on coverage of Bryson DeChambeau’s quest for the green jacket at Augusta National.
“The Masters blew it w this lack of coverage on Bryson!!!,” the “Lollipop” rapper wrote on X. “They gotta stop hatin on the LIV s–t. This man is killin it out there and I can’t watch.”
DeChambeau fired off a second-round 68 — scoring birdies on holes Nos. 2, 4, 5 and 8 — to climb to up the leaderboard. His start to the day came before live coverage kicked off, but even as it did, he was not among either featured group in the morning.
Those featured tournament leader Justin Rose, J.J. Spaun and Max Homa in Group 1, with Rory McIlroy, Ludvig Aberg and Akshay Bhatia in Group 2 — all PGA Tour players.
At the end of his round, DeChambeau sits one stroke behind Rose’s 8-under.
They’re joining by a who’s who of golfers, with Rory McIlroy, defending champ Scottie Scheffler and Jason Day all in striking distance.
“This is what golf is about,” DeChambeau said. “Got a lot of great names up there, and looking forward to an unbelievable test of golf.”
Finding room for the hulking 31-year-old on the broadcast may have gotten a little easier after the first round of cuts to the field — Brooks Koepka stunning missed the 2-over line of 146, as did Bernhard Langer, with the 67-year-old coming up short on a 10-foot putt that brought about the end of his illustrious career.
Lil Wayne, at least, was able to figure out how to get more of his man on his screen going forward, thanks to some help from a Fox Sports star.
“If ya having the same issue I was having then all ya gotta do is get the Masters App and follow whatever player u like!,” he wrote. “THX TO MY BRO NICK WRIGHT!”
