Guan makes cut at Masters

Chinese teenager Tianlang Guan has made the cut at the Masters following a dramatic finish to the second round in Augusta.

The 14-year-old, who is the youngest ever player to enter the event, was given a one-shot penalty for slow play on the 17th on Friday to leave him on four-over-par overall.

Guan would have gone out of the tournament if Jason Day had birdied either of the final two holes, but the Australian made par on both as he established a one-shot lead going into the weekend.

However, a number of big names have been eliminated, including Louis Oosthuizen, Webb Simpson, Graeme McDowell and Ian Poulter.

Defending champion Bubba Watson will join Guan in round three having edged through on four-over-par.
