AUGUSTA, Georgia, April 6 (Reuters) – The temperature

dropped at Augusta National on Friday as the second round got

underway with England’s Lee Westwood holding the overnight lead.

South Africa’s Louis Oosthuizen was the first of the leading

players on course and he suffered a setback with a double bogey

seven on the second hole.

The former British Open champion then birdied the third but

wiped out that gain with a bogey on the par-three fourth.

Zach Johnson, the 2007 Masters champion, made an early move

up the leaderboard with birdies on the second and third after

bogeying the first hole.

Rain was forecast for Friday and the temperature dropped

sharply overnight to 55 degrees Fahrenheit (13 Celsius).

The weather was expected to return to sunshine for the

weekend of the first major of the season.
