The opening round at this year's Masters was exciting, to say the least. Tiger showed that his game is as good as it ever was, even though he took five months off from competitive golf. In fact, Tiger's 68 yesterday was three shots better than his best Masters start ever!
Tom Watson's round was as magical as his leading last year's Open Championship after three rounds, at the age of 59. Tom is now sixty year's old. Another pleasant surprise was Fred Couples' 66 to top the leaderboard after 18 holes, at the age of 50.
Today's round should balance out the field, since early players yesterday will play late today. As long as the weather today is similar to yesterday's, the course conditions should balance out for every player.
Once the weekend arrives, and players at the same score will play together, the course conditions will be fair for the entire field.
Tom Watson is not as long off the tee as he was when he was younger, so it will be interesting to see if he can hang in there against the younger, longer hitters as the tournament committee toughens up the course going into Saturday and again on Sunday.
Let's all watch the play today to see who makes the cut for the weekend.
