Tiger Woods shot a four-under, bogey-free round on Thursday, matching his career-best opening round at Augusta National.
However, such a great first round was not enough for Woods, who won the 2019 Masters, to lead entering play Friday. A number of other proven veterans, including Paul Casey, Webb Simpson and Xander Schauffele, joined him atop the leaderboard. Casey was the early first-round leader with a 7-under-par 65. While Simpson and Schauffele both shot 67.
The 2020 Masters was delayed seven months due to the coronavirus pandemic and underwent a nearly three-hour delay on Thursday morning due to inclement weather.
