Golf Enthusiasts Captivated as Bryson DeChambeau Storms to the Top at the Masters
Augusta, Georgia – (BBC Sports, 7 April 2023) – The 2023 Masters tournament at Augusta National got off to a thrilling start, with Bryson DeChambeau emerging as the day one leader after posting a brilliant seven-under round of 65.
The big-hitting American surged to the top of the leaderboard, with world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler just one shot behind after a bogey-free 66.
Several talented golfers made promising starts, including:
- Nicolai Hojgaard
- Max Homa
- Tommy Fleetwood
- Ludvig Aberg
All of whom are within striking distance of the leaders. However, their first-round efforts were disrupted by the weather, forcing them to complete their opening rounds on Friday morning.
The groups finishing their first rounds will tee off at 12:50 pm BST, followed by the start of the second round at 1 pm BST. Tiger Woods, who is among the players yet to complete his opening round, sits nicely on one-under with five holes remaining.
Rory McIlroy will look to build on his positive one-under first round of 71, marking the first time he has shot under par in an opening round at the Masters since 2018. However, he may need to go even lower to catch the likes of DeChambeau and Scheffler.
Defending champion Jon Rahm has work to do after an opening round of 73, teeing off alongside Matt Fitzpatrick, who reached four-under at one stage on the back nine on Thursday before carding a 71.
The second round of the Masters promises to be an enthralling affair, with the leaderboard wide open and the weather no longer a factor. Golf enthusiasts are sure to be captivated by the unfolding drama at Augusta National.
