McIlroy, so desperate to win this main and finish the career of the Grand Slam, was with him to the end. He took a few double bogeys late in the afternoon with careless mistakes and had to settle for 72. It was the seventh straight time when 70 failed to break in the opening round of Masters.
Rose went out of the gates with three direct birds. Added three more around the row. He headed for the bike almost 10 shots better than the diameter of the field until the bad tee into the trees led to his only bogey in the last hole.
No matter what. This was a reminder of Rose, which ended up with only 22 putty that his good golf was still very good.
“I’m 44. Golf does not deserve to me in the next five, 10 years, whatever it is,” Rose said. “So your opportunity is less forward. So you have to make the most of
Rose set one record of Masters: it was the fifth time at least had a share of the 18-hole line that broke the brand held Jack nicklaus. Of course, nicklaus has six of these green jackets.
It was also the eighth time when Rose had at least a share of leadership after each round in August National, which he did only five more. They are all masters.
“I feel like I played well enough to win this tournament,” Rose, whose best chance was the loss of play -off Sergio Garcia In 2017.

Fred coupleswho was thinking a month ago, if for 65 years with creaking back, he would still be welcomed to play, only happened the second player to break the par. The couples climbed from the navigation runway to 14. Tom Watson He was also 65 – within 28 days he is still the oldest – when he shot 71 in 2015.
The horror show belonged to Nick dunlapA 21 -year -old man who won the PGA Tour as an amateur last year. This had to feel like an amateur hour when he made a double bogey on the last hole for 90. Since then it has been the highest score Ben Crenshaw Shots 91 in 2015 at the age of 63.
Hideki Matsuyama Maybe caught the worst break when his access to 13. Par-5 hit a pin and entered the tributary of Rae’s Creek. The wildest day belonged Nicolai Højgaard – One eagle, five birds, four par, five bogey and three double bogeys. Do mathematics and it contributes up to 76.
“Mental discharge plays such a bike,” said Højgaard.
And then there was McIlroy, stinging into the water from behind 15. Green for double bogey, and then went for a long time 17.
Much more blissful in the warm spring day was Rose, who left at one point so good that he felt like a jug that was throwing without Hitter.
In the eighth place of the PAR-5 he stood on 6 feet. He hit Wedge at the ninth and used a slope to set a 5-foot birdie and gave him a low career of 31. This was followed by a 12-foot birdie putt.
“At that time, the day felt a little different. At that time I felt I was doing something potentially more on a special side,” Rose said.
And then he really began to pull away with an intelligent playground from the water to set up a 10-track birdie, followed by a 20-naha birdie on Par-3 16. Instead, he created Par-Bogey and did not destroy his mood.
The average score was 73.6. Only six players broke 70 and 20 others broke the par.
“Overall, a great day,” Rose said. “I played a lot of golf in Augusta National. So go away with my same best score is definitely a success for me.”
