EASTERN CONFERENCE
Atlantic Division
Throw together a course that has grown 500 yards with bot-
tle conditions, and there wasn't much to cheer.
Justin Rose was as proud of his 15 pars as his three birdies in
a round of 69, which left him atop the leaderboard with Masters
rookie Brett Wetterich. It was the highest score to lead the first
round at the Masters in eight years.
Tiger Woods tossed away a solid round with bogeys on his
final two holes for a 73. Phil Mickelson shot a 76, his worst start
at the Masters in 10 years, and still was optimistic about winning
another green jacket. Never mind that no one has ever won the
Masters after opening with a score worse than 75.
Then again, this was not the Masters everyone has come to
embrace the last several years. Birdies were rare. And the so-
called "cathedral of golf" was every bit of that for one reason.

fringe on No. 14.
"That’s exciting to go bogey-free on any course on any day,”
Rose said. “But first round at Augusta on a day where obvious-
ly the scores are pretty high makes it a very pleasing round.
Yeah, one that I’m very happy with, for sure.”
Wetterich can’t relate to any of this as an Augusta National
rookie. His experience comes from practice rounds, especially
one with south Florida neighbor Raymond Floyd, a two-time
Masters champion.
“I thought it was a good test of golf out there,” Wettench said.
"To me, they don’t have to do any changes.”
And then there was Toms, who last year said the Masters has
so many rules that players “walk around on egg shells.” If that
had been the case Thursday, the sound would have been deafen-
ing.
This was about as exciting as the first round of the 2003
Masters, which was rained out.
