Masters 2016 Leaderboard: Latest Scores and Standings from Thursday at Augusta

Jordan Spieth has begun the defense of his Masters championship.

Spieth had a wonderful year in 2015 as he not only won the Green Jacket at the famed Augusta, Georgia course, he followed that up by winning the U.S. Open in the season's second major.

Spieth has not gotten off to the same start in the 2016 golf season that he did a year ago, but he was one of the favorites going into the tournament. According to Odds Shark, Spieth was the third choice behind Jason Day and Rory McIlroy at odds of 10-1.
