Ryan Gerard: Share of 38th in Augusta debut

Gerard posted a one-over cumulative score at The Masters to finish tied for 38th with Jon Rahm and Haotong Li.

Analysis:

Gerard went even-par over the first two rounds before posting a four-under 68 score Saturday that included three-straight birdies from holes 13 to 15. He opened the final round with a birdie on the first hole but proceeded to go five-over from holes four to seven and went one-over on the back nine despite an eagle on the par-5 15th, resulting in a five-over 77 score Sunday. Gerard ranked 11th in SG: Putting and 21 in SG: Approach, but he finished near the bottom across most other statistical categories, including 52nd in SG: Off-the-Tee. He opened the 2026 season strongly with finishes of 2-T2-11, but he has just one top-25 finish over his last seven tournaments, including missed cuts at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and the Texas Children's Houston Open. Gerard is in the field for the RBC Heritage Open next week, where he finished T27 in his Harbour Town debut in 2025.
