Y.E. Yang gave 2011 Masters Tournament leader Rory McIlroy a run for the day-one leaderboard’s top spot. Though he wasn’t as consistent as McIlroy was, Yang finished in second place with a 5-under.
Masters Leaderboard: Y.E. Yang Challenges Rory McIlroy’s Top Score
While McIlroy shot seven birdies and 11 holes for par, Yang put together six birdies, an eagle, and three bogeys to come up two shy. He nearly double eagled hole No. 13, with his second shot landing just a foot or two away from the pin. The easy putt still gave him one of the best holes any player was able to put together Thursday.
Yang looked set to finish with a tie for first place, but bogeyed holes No. 17 and 18. Can he do a better job of finishing in tomorrow’s second round?
