Justin Rose Leads Masters After First Round; Scottie Scheffler Right Behind
In a stunning turn of events, golf legend Fred Couples defied the odds and shot a 1-under-par 71 in the first round of the Masters. This remarkable performance marks the first time he has broken par at Augusta National since 1983, a gap of an astonishing 42 years.
Couples’ incredible display included an eagle on Hole 14, which gave him the momentum to take his score from 1-over to even-par before finishing under par for the round. It was a start that will give him hope of making the cut and playing over the weekend.
Meanwhile, Justin Rose emerged as the leader after Round 1, shooting a stunning -7 under par. He is closely followed by Corey Conners, Scottie Scheffler, and Ludvig Ã…berg, all at -4.
In the top 10, Tyrell Hatton, Bryson DeChambeau, Aaron Rai, Harris English, and Jason Day are all within striking distance.
To stay ahead of the pack, Rose will need to maintain his impressive form throughout the tournament.
