Danny Willett described the conditions as "brutal" after completing his second round at Augusta.
After hitting 70 in his first round, the Englishman shot a 74 in his second to go into the weekend level par for the tournament.
Willett made a birdie on the third before back-to-back bogeys on six and seven were followed by another on the 16th.
"It's brutal out there," he told Sky Sports. "You get the crosswinds and they've put a few of the flags on some naughty little shelves and to try and hit it closer enough to have a reasonable look at a birdie chance is very, very hard.
"Then if you get it the wrong side of the ridge, to two putt becomes very, very hard.
"You're going to see a lot of four or five footers that people have got to hole with probably a ball or two of movement plus a little bit of wind and the greens firming up and getting quicker. It's just really, really tricky out there and it's only going to get trickier."
Ian Poulter, meanwhile, was disappointed after shooting a six over par 78 in his second round at Augusta to leave him three over for the tournament.
The Englishman failed to register a single birdie and recorded bogeys at two, four, 10 and 17 as well as a double bogey at the 14th.
However, the 40-year-old felt that conditions were not as difficult as during his first round.
"It wasn't as tough as yesterday," said Poulter. "It's just disappointing to be marginally off around this golf course because that just shows you how difficult this golf course really is. Margins for error are really slim.
"You are always on edge on this golf course, especially when this wind is blowing. It's tough, but that's why we love this golf course.
"I walk off and shoot six over par, but I still love this golf course because it has given me what I deserved today, which is a right kick in the nuts."
