Day 2 of the Masters at a glance

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — A brief look at the second round Friday of the Masters:

LEADING: Justin Rose was at 8 under after his second-round 71. Bryson DeChambeau shot 68 and was one shot back.

CHASING: Rory McIlroy had the low round of the day, a 6-under 66 that got him to 6 under for the tournament. Corey Conners also was 6 under, while defending champion Scottie Scheffler was in a group of four players at 5 under.

IN THE HUNT: Jason Day was poised to join Ed Sneed in 1979 as the only players without a bogey or worse through the first two rounds. Then he bogeyed the 18th, leaving him in a group with Rasmus Hojgaard and Viktor Hovland at 4 under.

AUF WIEDERSEHEN: Bernhard Langer had a chance to make the cut in his 41st and final Masters, but the 1985 and '93 champ missed a par putt on the 18th that would have gotten him to the weekend on the number. The 67-year-old German star shot 74-73.

BOOM BOOM, BYE BYE: Fred Couples, the 1992 champion, needed a birdie at the 18th to make the cut but made bogey instead, missing it by two. The 65-year-old Couples followed his opening 1-under 71 with a 77 on Friday.

COMEBACK KID: Nick Dunlap followed his 18-over 90, the highest score at the Masters since Ben Crenshaw shot 91 at the age of 63 in 2015, with a 71 on Friday. That represented an improvement of more than a shot per hole.

OH, NO: Brooks Koepka made quadruple bogey at the 18th to finish 5 over and miss the cut.

PROS ONLY: None of the five amateurs made the cut. Justin Hastings came closest, shooting 76-72 to miss by two. U.S. Amateur champ Jose Luis Ballester and runner-up Noah Kent finished behind only DeChambeau in driving distance.

WHAT A STREAK: Matt McCarty was 2 over for the tournament and in danger of missing the cut after five holes Friday. Then he strung together eight birdies over the next 12, and his 4-under 68 left him at 5 under.

SHOT OF THE DAY: DeChambeau holed out from the bunker at the 240-yard par-3 fourth for his second birdie in three holes. He added three more birdies in his round of 68.

KEY STATISTIC: The 18th hole was the hardest Friday, playing more than a half stroke over par.

NOTEWORTHY: This is the third time Rose has been the solo leader of the first and second rounds of the Masters. He also accomplished the feat in 2004 and 2021.

QUOTEWORTHY: “I hit a couple buckets of balls at my Airbnb into the woods. I don’t know if there was any houses or anything back there.” — Dunlap, on how he bounced back from his first-round 90 to shoot 1-under 71.

TELEVISION: Third-round coverage begins Saturday at noon EDT on Paramount+ and 2 p.m. EDT on CBS.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — With the start of the New Year squarely behind us, it's once again time for the annual CES trade show to shine a spotlight on the latest tech companies plan on offering in 2026.

The multi-day event, organized by the Consumer Technology Association, kicks off this week in Las Vegas, where advances across industries like robotics, healthcare, vehicles, wearables, gaming and more are set to be on display.

Artificial intelligence will be anchored in nearly everything, again, as the tech industry explores offerings consumers will want to buy. AI industry heavyweight Jensen Huang will be taking the stage to showcase Nvidia's latest productivity solutions, and AMD CEO Lisa Su will keynote to “share her vision for delivering future AI solutions.” Expect AI to come up in other keynotes, like from Lenovo's CEO, Yuanqing Yang.

The AI industry is out in full force tackling issues in healthcare, with a particular emphasis on changing individual health habits to treat conditions — such as Beyond Medicine's prescription app focused on a particular jaw disorder — or addressing data shortages in subjects such as breast milk production.

Expect more unveils around domestic robots too. Korean tech giant LG already has announced it will show off a helper bot named “ CLOiD,” which allegedly will handle a range of household tasks. Hyundai also is announcing a major push on robotics and manufacturing advancements. Extended reality, basically a virtual training ground for robots and other physical AI, is also in the buzz around CES.

In 2025, more than 141,000 attendees from over 150 countries, regions, and territories attended the CES. Organizers expect around the same numbers for this year’s show, with more than 3,500 exhibitors across the floor space this week.

The AP spoke with CTA Executive Chair and CEO Gary Shapiro about what to expect for CES 2026. The conversation has been edited for clarity and length.

Well, we have a lot at this year's show.

Obviously, using AI in a way that makes sense for people. We’re seeing a lot in robotics. More robots and humanoid-looking robots than we’ve ever had before.

We also see longevity in health, there’s a lot of focus on that. All sorts of wearable devices for almost every part of the body. Technology is answering healthcare’s gaps very quickly and that’s great for everyone.

Mobility is big with not only self-driving vehicles but also with boats and drones and all sorts of other ways of getting around. That’s very important.

And of course, content creation is always very big.

You are seeing humanoid robots right now. It sometimes works, sometimes doesn’t.

But yes, there are more and more humanoid robots. And when we talk about CES 5, 10, 15, 20 years now, we’re going to see an even larger range of humanoid robots.

Obviously, last year we saw a great interest in them. The number one product of the show was a little robotic dog that seems so life-like and fun, and affectionate for people that need that type of affection.

But of course, the humanoid robots are just one aspect of that industry. There’s a lot of specialization in robot creation, depending on what you want the robot to do. And robots can do many things that humans can’t.

AI is the future of creativity.

Certainly AI itself may be arguably creative, but the human mind is so unique that you definitely get new ideas that way. So I think the future is more of a hybrid approach, where content creators are working with AI to craft variations on a theme or to better monetize what they have to a broader audience.

We’re seeing all sorts of different devices that are implementing AI. But we have a special focus at this show, for the first time, on the disability community. Verizon set this whole stage up where we have all different ways of taking this technology and having it help people with disabilities and older people.

Well, there’s definitely no bubble when it comes to what AI can do. And what AI can do is perform miracles and solve fundamental human problems in food production and clean air and clean water. Obviously in healthcare, it’s gonna be overwhelming.

But this was like the internet itself. There was a lot of talk about a bubble, and there actually was a bubble. The difference is that in late 1990s there were basically were no revenue models. Companies were raising a lot of money with no plans for revenue.

These AI companies have significant revenues today, and companies are investing in it.

What I’m more concerned about, honestly, is not Wall Street and a bubble. Others can be concerned about that. I’m concerned about getting enough energy to process all that AI. And at this show, for the first time, we have a Korean company showing the first ever small-scale nuclear-powered energy creation device. We expect more and more of these people rushing to fill this gap because we need the energy, we need it clean and we need a kind of all-of-the-above solution.
