Kevin Sutherland and Ross Fisher of England posted 69s on a -carat lifetime for scoring - mellow and mirthful with a cold shoulder breeze - and there figured to be plentifulness of low scores before the all over was done. The endure was quite a contrast to the last two years, when fraudulent conditions made it unbending to get into the red. Chad Campbell guaranteed took advantage, starting with birdies on the fundamental five holes and making the swivel with a 31. Fifty-year-old Larry Mize, the 1987 champion, also got off to a surprising start, getting to 5 under through 14 holes after missing the wound seven of the concluding eight years. Jim Furyk made four honest birdies on the back face to become the senior participant to range 6 under.
But some of the biggest roars were for Greg Norman, back at Augusta for the principal hour since 2002. The 54-year-old Shark, who's endured so much heartache in his Masters career, opened with a 70 and has a regular turn to deliver it to the weekend. "The unhurt feeling for any player is to get yourself off to a good, rugged start," said Norman, a Masters runner-up three times. "I did that today. I had a lot of opportunities.
I could have swig a critical mid-60s cause today. I didn't, but I'm not complaining." Of course, all eyes were on four-time title-holder Tiger Woods, playing in his pre-eminent paramount since a heady playoff overcoming in last summer's U.S. Open.
He underwent knee surgery after that carry off and had to dwell out the British Open and PGA Championship. But a comeback bring home the bacon at Bay Hill two weeks ago showed Woods' ploy is back on track. He had an afternoon tee while and made pars on his earliest five holes. Clark has been in this put before. He was runner-up to Phil Mickelson in 2006, and held the 36-hole take the next year.
