Bryson DeChambeau got off to a hot start on Thursday after rain delayed the start of the opening round. DeChambeau fired a 7-under 65 to grab the early lead with LIV Golf CEO Greg Norman watching, and he got his round done before winds really picked up at Augusta National.
Tiger Woods went off in the late wave, and opened his day with a birdie. He got through 13 holes before play was called due to darkness, so he’ll have five holes left on Friday in his opening round.
Scottie Scheffler finished a shot back from DeChambeau with his 6-under 66. Nicolai Højgaard, who had two birdie chip-ins on Thursday, is alone in third at 5-under. He got through 15 holes when play was called.
The first round will resume at 7:50 a.m. ET on Friday morning.
