Augusta? I didnt know the masters was in augusta. I thought they only went to Savannah.

Yes, apart from the cap.

Ishikawa continued his bad run in Majors by missing another cut - finished his two rounds at +9.
Hideki Matsuyama, who is younger than Ishikawa, and still an amateur, made the cut at +1, two shots ahead of Tiger Woods, and only 6 off the lead. Very impressive stuff from a guy who will probably turn out to be a lot more successful than Ishikawa.

How about a picture of Hideki Matsuyama? Unlike Ishikawa, he made the cut and will be playing the weekend.

Two good rounds by an amateur does not a career make. Ishikawa has a ton of pressure on his shoulders. The Japanese media gives him no space. If Matsuyama were in Ishikawa's shoes, the same struggles could very easily happen.
Let's see where Matsuyama is a few years after turning pro, and compare him with Ishikawa at that point.

Agreed that two good rounds doesn't make a career, but Matsuyama was the leading amateur at Augusta last year and has already had a win on the Japanese tour.
He needs a few more years under his belt to develop, but he looks a very promising player.
