Golf - The Masters - Augusta National Golf Club, Augusta, Georgia, U.S. - April 11, 2024 Scottie Scheffler of the U.S. hits his approach on the 1st hole during the first round REUTERS/Mike SegarAUGUSTA, Georgia: For someone who admittedly was not thinking about his score, world number one and tournament favourite Scottie Scheffler went out in difficult conditions and posted one of the best first round s at the Masters on Thursday .
"I was just trying to hit good shots and stay patient out there. You cannot force yourself into making birdies around this golf course. It just doesn't really lend itself to that, especially with the high winds." "I mean, I saw that he shot seven under, and I thought to myself, wow, that's a really good round of golf, and I kind of put my head down and focused on what I was doing," said Scheffler, who responded with his first bogey-free trip around Augusta National and lowest score in 17 rounds at the Masters.
