If you believe in lucky sevens, the 2013 Masters has been the tournament for you. 

The 77th annual major championship at Augusta National has not failed to disappoint through the opening two rounds of action and should continue well through Saturday and Sunday's final two rounds to determine this year's green jacket winner. 

In fact, this Masters is shaping up to be one of the best ever in Augusta history. 

CBS Sports' Kyle Porter certainly felt like it had the potential to be one the best tournaments of all time—maybe even the best:



Australian Jason Day topped the leaderboard at the end of the second round, posting an overall score of six-under and taking a one-stroke lead over 53-year-old former Masters champion Fred Couples and fellow Aussie Marc Leishman. 

Heading into the third round on Saturday, Tiger Woods is also in contention at one-under, while Rory McIlroy and Justin Rose (No. 2 and 3 behind Woods on the world golf rankings, respectively) are both lurking within the shadows as tournament play begins on Saturday afternoon. 



Uncharacteristically, Phil Mickelson currently has the highest score (nine-over) of the remaining golfers that made the cut. 2012 champion Bubba Watson also started slow, but he has surged back to two over with a good start to his day on Friday. 

Watson, charismatic as he is talented, also continues to bring life to the sport with his playful antics (via B/R's Twitter account):



The big story so far has been the inclusion of the tournament committee. 

Tianlang Guan, who at 14 years old is the youngest participant ever in the Masters, was victimized a stroke on the 17th hole on Friday afternoon (via ABC News). The penalty was given for slow play, a curious decision since Guan was, at the time, somewhat clear of the projected cut line.
