Scottie Scheffler, Bryson DeChambeau and Max Homa are tied for the lead after a brutal day at the Masters.
The Master flag waves to the breeze on the second hole during the first round at the Masters golf tournament at Augusta National Golf Club Thursday, April 11, 2024, in Augusta, Ga.
“Mostly what I was trying to do out there was make a bunch of pars and stay in the golf tournament,” Scheffler said, a testament to just how difficult it was. “The memories will just be a lot of the Tiger stuff,” Homa said. “I hope to build my own come this weekend, but I fortunately think I’ve done a good enough job of playing it one shot at a time that I can’t really remember a ton of the round at the moment. I played really well, and I tried to play as boring as possible.
Defending champion Jon Rahm and Rory McIlroy looked as though they might join him, but that was before the cut line began to move. DeChambeau was the only player to reach 8 under at any point with his birdie on the 13th hole that was quite the expedition. He drove right into the pines and didn’t see a clear route back to the fairway — not the 13th fairway, anyway.
