Two former Arkansas golfers will play the weekend at The Masters.

Ortiz is tied for 36th, seven shots back of a five-way tie for first place. Landry is tied for 46th, eight back of the leaders.

Ortiz, 23, shot 1-under 71 on Friday with an eagle, three birdies and four bogeys. He is tied with nine others, including two-time Masters champion Bubba Watson and the world's No. 3 player, Rory McIlroy.

Ortiz was 3-over through Amen Corner on Friday, but closed strong with a birdie on the par-4 14th, an eagle on the par-5 15th and birdie on the par-4 18th.

Landry, 31, shot 1-over 73 on Friday and is tied with three others.

Landry was 1-under through 13 holes, but bogeyed the par-4 14th and par-3 16th - holes he had birdied the day before.

Landry will tee off in Saturday's third round at 9:35 a.m. and will be paired with Satoshi Kodaira. Ortiz will tee off at 10:35 a.m. and will be paired with Kevin Na.
