K.J. Choi is eight strokes under par and atop the Masters leaderboard in Augusta on Friday. Rory McIlroy and Alvaro Quiros trail him by one stroke at seven under.
Masters Leaderboard: K.J. Choi Takes Control From Rory McIlroy, Alvaro Quiros
Choi’s rocketed to the front of the pack with a 3-under start on the front nine, and while McIlroy is just getting started, it’s clear he’ll have some work to do if he’d like to end the day in the lead. Y.E. Yang also remains in contention, as he’s one-under for the day, and just two strokes back of Choi for the tournament.
Elsewhere, many of golf’s biggest names have yet to tee off. Tiger Woods won’t start his day until almost two o’clock, and much of the day’s action remains for the afternoon. Until then, though, Friday’s biggest story would seem to be K.J. Choi’s fast start, and the sudden emergence of a new favorite in Augusta.
