Statistically, you must be in the top six after the first round of the Masters to have a real chance to win
Trent was saying that like, statistically speaking, you basically have to be top six after the first round. Like anyone past that is not eliminated, but almost eliminated.
Rory McIlroy won the 2025 Masters despite being tied for 26th after the first round (he had two double bogeys on the back nine of round 1). This disproves the statistical claim.
