Casey, Johnson and Frittelli lead the Golf Masters after the first round

The fight for the green jacket was delayed on Thursday morning due to a three-hour break due to a storm, and the first round was interrupted due to darkness. Before that, he managed to bypass the defending champion Tiger Woods with eighteen holes and is in the 10th place with a score of -4.

Casey took advantage of the soft greens on Thursday after a morning storm, which caused the program to be three hours late and the players starting the afternoon failed to complete the round. The Englishman gave five birdies, one eagle and played 65 shots. “It may have been two or three shots better, but I don’t want to be greedy. I’m satisfied,” Casey said.

Frittelli, 30, plays the second Masters and managed a passage from the 13th to the 16th hole, where he played an eagle and three birdies on Thursday. After a birdie at 18, Johnson, the favored first player in the world, also completed the 1st round in 65 shots.

Woods recorded his best opening round at the Masters. He made no mistakes on the first day and had five birdies on the first ten holes. “Good round. I drove safely, hit the irons and patted well,” said the five-time Masters winner.

Like Woods, for example, the Japanese played Hideki Matsuyama, the experienced Englishman Lee Westwood, the South African Louis Oosthuizen and Woods’ compatriot Patrick Reed.

The masters were moved from April to April due to coronavirus. Due to the persistence of measures against the spread of covid-19, it is played without spectators.
