Key occasions
Nicolai Højgaard made his debut right here final 12 months, and on Thursday posted an impressive 67. The younger Dane ended the week in a really respectable tie for sixteenth, by a ways the very best end of his fledgeling main profession. He’s making his presence felt this Thursday too, albeit in a extra scattershot method. He’s unable to rise up and down from the bunker to the left of the first inexperienced, and follows that bogey by hooking wildly into the woods at 2, necessitating a reload, and resulting in a double bogey. Birdie on the almost drivable par-four third takes him again as much as +2, however the 24-year-old is at the moment propping up the present 14-player-strong leaderboard.
There are such a lot of traditions to be noticed at the start of every Masters. Arriving by way of Magnolia Lane. The Beginner Dinner. The Champions Dinner. Skipping the water at 16. The par-three contest. The Honorary Starters. And somebody sudden almost all the time flies out of the traps early doorways, capable of say for ever extra that they as soon as led the Masters, and despite the fact that there have been solely a handful of fellow professionals out on the course on the time, details are details and there isn’t something anybody can ever do to rebut it. Step ahead then Davis Riley, who took the opening shot of this 12 months’s Event and adopted a par at Tea Olive with birdie on the par-five 2nd, reward for wedging his method to 10 toes. The 28-year-old from Mississippi is on debut, so that is some introduction to life at golf’s most glamorous main. Nice stuff, with the caveat that, until Riley is to change into the primary debutant to win since Fuzzy Zoeller in 1979, the one approach from right here is down.
