What a day. The Masters are back and my legs are now numb. Day one of the Masters did not disappoint and delivered with some great shots. While it was a little odd without a crowd, especially when Tiger made contact with the ball and there was no roar, the quality of golf and golf coverage was as good as it was before.

Day one started out exactly how everyone thought it would… with a weather delay.

After a short three hour delay, we were off. Fireworks started soon after play resumed.

Though, not all of round one was complete on Thursday. Due to darkness, round one was suspended again, this time for the day. Round one will complete on Friday morning and round two will begin immediately afterwards. Paul Casey currently leads with plenty of players within range of shooting a low score going into the weekend.

Here are some of the top moments from day one.

Top Moments from Day One of the 2020 Masters

The top moments from day one include great putts and great shots that can only happen at Augusta National. Experienced players using their knowledge of the course to manipulate the slopes of the green to use to their advantage.

Past Champions

Starting with the defending champion, Tiger has this look for birdie at the first.

The shot of the day comes from the 2018 Masters Champion, Patrick Reed.

Favorites

Some of the top moments from day one include golfers that are Vegas favorites that I discussed in my Masters preview.

Unknown Heroes

They also included players that I never even thought I would add to this blog, but here we are.

Young & Ageless

The young guns had some moments of their own today, and so did the old ones (and not only Tiger).

My pick to win the tournament Patrick Cantlay with a great shot to set up a birdie at the first.

The old past champions wanted in on the fun too.

If you don’t believe that age matters as much as experience at Augusta National, you’d be correct. Even Bryson DeChambeau, yes, the favorite to win, the one that averages over 315-yard drives, is tied with the winner of the 62-year old Larry Mize, winner of the 1987 Masters. It’s a safe bet to say Bryson will be practicing his driver through the night after only struggling to find the fairway on day one.
