The Masters: Justin Rose leads as Rory McIlroy has nightmare finish to opening round at Augusta National | Golf News

Justin Rose grabbed the early lead after the opening round of The Masters, as Rory McIlroy saw his Grand Slam hopes suffer a big setback following a nightmare finish at Augusta National.

Rose charged up the leaderboard with eight birdies in a stunning seven-under 65, with his only dropped shot coming at the final hole, giving the former world No 1 a commanding three-shot advantage over Scottie Scheffer, Ludvig Åberg and Corey Conners.

Scheffler opened his title defence with a bogey-free 68 and Conners birdied three of the last four holes to also get to four under, with last year’s runner-up Åberg making it a three-way tie for second after a final-hole birdie.

Scottie Scheffler made an impressive start to his Masters defence with a bogey-free 68 at Augusta National

McIlroy – searching for a first major win since 2014 – was on the same score with four holes left of his opening round, only to card two double-bogeys in a three-hole stretch – at the 15th and 17th – to stutter to a level-par 72.

The world No 2 is seven strokes back and outside the top 25, the seventh year in a row he has been six or more behind following the opening day, with the Northern Irishman now facing an uphill battle to claim the victory required to complete the career Grand Slam.
