Takeaways from Masters second round: Rory McIlroy bounces back 

Bryson DeChambeau has his own history on his side

When DeChambeau starts a major the way he started this year's Masters, it generally has a positive ending for him.

He followed up his opening-round 69 with a 68 on Friday, leaving him 7-under and just one stroke off the lead.

He has started three previous majors with back-to-back rounds in the 60s. He won two of them and finished second in the other.

Professional golfers: They're just like you

Sometimes, anyway.

That is, in large part, how Cameron Young missed the cut at this year's tournament. 

After shooting a 72 on Thursday, he followed it up with a 79 that was low-lighted by that sequence. 

He was not able to just tap it in. 

Bernhard Langer exits the Masters

Bernhard Langer, the two-time Masters champion, narrowly missed the cut by one stroke on Friday and left Augusta National for the last time. 

Langer made his first appearance at the Masters in 1982, won it in 1985 and 1993, and was one of the top golfers in the world during the 1980s and 1990s. 

He had a similar look.

Nick Dunlap was unwilling to give up no matter what

Even though it did not result in him making the cut, you have to admire the way Dunlap rebounded from a historically bad day on Thursday.

After shooting a 90 in the opening round, he shaved 19 strokes off his performance in the second round to shoot a 71. 

He still finished the first two rounds 17-over, and he was never going to have a chance to do anything on Friday that would get him through to the weekend, but you still have to respect the bounce-back round.
