The Top 5 Shots From Day Two Of The Masters
1. Cameron Smith, Second Shot, Par-5 15th

2. Justin Thomas, Third Shot, Par-5 8th

How about the use of the slope, too... not bad at all.

3. Tiger Woods, Third Shot, Par-5 2nd

Woods, though, is pretty handy from the sand.

4. Sebastian Munoz, Third Shot, Par-4 18th

5. Dustin Johnson, Second Shot, Par-4 11th
