Bubba Watson hopped aboard the birdie train late in the second round to take a three-stroke lead into the weekend at the 2014 Masters. His strong finish doesn't change the fact that Augusta National Golf Club is posing a serious test for the elite field.

While Watson has the inside edge on his second green jacket at seven under, only 14 players are currently under par with two rounds to play. Furthermore, a score of four over was good enough to make the cut, showing how tough the Augusta course is playing.
