Masters leaderboard: Jim Furyk the early leader
Play has begun at the Masters and Jim Furyk is among the players off to a good start.
Furyk is currently 4-under through eight holes, one stroke ahead of David Lynn who is 3-under through 11. Furyk got off to a quick start with a birdie on No. 3 after two pars to open his round. Following pars at No. 4 and No. 5, he carded three-straight birdies at No. 6, No. 7 and No. 8. Lynn started his round with a birdie at No. 1 before recording a par on his next six holes. He moved to 3-under after birdies at No. 8 and No. 9, but gave one back with a bogey at the 10th. Lynn didn’t waste any time getting the stroke back with a birdie at No. 11.
Tiger Woods is also on the course, having teed off at 10:45 a.m. ET. Woods has struggled on No. 1 at Augusta during his career, but after an excellent tee shot, he was able to start his round with a par. Woods’ playing partner, Luke Donald, was not as fortunate as he opened his 2013 Masters with a bogey. Here’s a current snapshot of the leaderboard, as well as some other notables out on the course:
