AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Tiger Woods had an early start and a long day ahead of him Friday in the Masters.
Woods, Jordan Spieth and Brooks Koepka were among 27 players who had to complete the weather-delayed first round before heading right back out on breezy Augusta National for the second round.
The target was Bryson DeChambeau, who opened with a 7-under 65 on Thursday. That not only was his best score at the Masters, it was his best start in a major championship. He was one shot ahead of Scottie Scheffler, the No. 1 player in the world who looked every bit the part with his bogey-free start of 66.
Masters rookie Nicolai Hojgaard of Denmark was 5-under par with three holes to play.
