Having the opportunity to put on the green jacket late Sunday afternoon while sitting in Butler Cabin is the dream of any golfer who gets a chance to play in the Masters.
It's clearly vital to play superbly on the back nine of the final round, but that's not the only requirement. Winning the Masters almost always requires playing well in the opening round and staying close to the top of the leaderboard.
The best golfers in the world are not going to win the Masters on Thursday, but they can lose it. Since Tiger Woods won his last Masters in 2005, the next 13 winners have all been in the top 10 after the opening round of the tournament.
