"What does it mean when a caddie and his golfer indicate “five” when they have just hit an iron into a green at The Masters to another golfer and caddie who are waiting to play a shot into the same hole? Is it like “fore” or is it a new golfing term"

"The Masters once stood for integrity and Rules of the Game. You let Koepka and Elliott cheat blatantly. You now embolden all players to do the same or not, depending on their animosity. Be proud ANGC!!"

Brooks Koepka leads the 2023 Masters at 12-under after round 2
Koepka finished the second round with a bogey-free 5-under 65 to aggregate at 12-under after 36 holes. Koepka holed three birdies and an eagle on Friday. He leads Jason Day by 3 strokes, who holds the second position with four more holes to go (at the time of writing).
The four-time Major champion carded the first round of 7-under 65, which included 8 birdies and just one bogey. It looked as if Keopka wanted to prove a point at Augusta National.
Notably, the Saudi-backed circuit golfers have been barred from the PGA Tour events and haven't had many opportunities to gain ranking points.
Viktor Hovland is yet to tee off on the second day as he stands at T-3 with 7-under. Hovland had a good first round where he shared the lead alongside Koepka and Jon Rahm.
The 25-year-old Norweigan shot a bogey-free first round of 65 that included 5 birdies and an eagle.
