Westwood gets his nose in front at the Masters (AP) Apr 6th 2012, 04:12 With his words and then his play, Lee Westwood shot down the notion Thursday that this Masters was a two-horse race. On a busy opening day at Augusta National that featured mud, a little rain and a snowman on the final hole for Henrik Stenson, Westwood provided a steady hand Thursday with seven birdies for a 5-under 67 that gave him a one-shot lead.

Column: McIlroy saves himself by going right (AP) Apr 6th 2012, 01:34 The tee shots in the woods to the right may have been something subconscious, a reflex triggered by a long year of thinking about what might have been had he not hit one tee shot so terribly far left during his last Masters. Rory McIlroy insisted otherwise, and you have to give him his due because so far in his young career he's been nothing but honest when it comes to his golf.

No, not that trek through the woods on 10, though more on that later. Despite having the last tee time of the day, at 1:53 p.m. EDT, Mickelson was at Augusta National six hours early Thursday to watch Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player hit the ceremonial first shot.

Yahoo! Sports - Golf News: Phil Mickelson comes unglued on Augusta National’s 10th hole (Devil Ball Golf)

Yahoo! Sports - Golf News Latest news and information about the Golf.

Phil Mickelson comes unglued on Augusta National's 10th hole (Devil Ball Golf) Apr 5th 2012, 21:15 There's something about the 10th hole that seems to bring out the worst in some of the best golfers in the world. One year after Rory McIlroy saw his Masters hopes go down in flames on the par-4 10th, Phil Mickelson may taken himself out of the equation on the very same hole. Only 1-over on the day when he stepped on the 10th tee, Mickelson watched his tee shot sail well left into the Georgia pines, forcing him to proclaim to his playing partners that he was hitting a provisional. It was a good thing he did, because his ball never reappeared. Despite having 30-plus Masters patrons searching for his ball in the woods like a bunch of kids looking for Easter eggs, he was forced to play the provisional shot, leading to a triple-bogey seven -- the very same score Rory McIlroy carded in his final round. The good news for Phil? Unlike Rory's mistake, this one came on Thursday, so he still has a lot of golf left to make up for the blunder.

See where he is at close of light Sunday. Then we'll talk. A day before the opening round, Woods tweeted, "I'm ready," except he wasn't.

Yahoo! Sports - Golf News: Luke Donald embroiled in brief Masters scorecard controversy (Devil Ball Golf)

Yahoo! Sports - Golf News Latest news and information about the Golf.

Luke Donald embroiled in brief Masters scorecard controversy (Devil Ball Golf) Apr 5th 2012, 22:02 When is a 5 not a 5? When it's a 3, of course. Luke Donald walked off the green at 18 and right into a Masters rules mess. At issue: whether he shot 75 or 73. More specifically, whether he shot a 5 or a 3 at the par-3 5th hole. The scorecard read 3, but several golf writers recalled it as a three-putt 5. The issue was not an insignificant one; if Donald signed for a 73 rather than a 75, he'd be disqualified from a tournament in which he was one of the favorites. (Even with a 75, he's in trouble; at the time he finished, he was six strokes behind the leaders.) Fortunately for Donald, as it turns out, there was no controversy, and no disqualification. Somewhere along the line while faxing the scorecard, a scorekeeper misread Donald's 5 as a 3, and posted it as such, a misfire the club termed an "administrative error." (Yes, Augusta still uses faxes. In 2012. Possibly because monks transcribing scores can't run in fast enough from Amen Corner.) So Donald lives to play again another day. And the lowly fax machine suffers yet another ding to its battered reputation. -For the best in golf updates live from Augusta, follow Devil Ball Golf on Twitter at @jaybusbee and @jonathanrwall , and on Facebook right here .-

Yahoo! Sports - Golf News: Henrik Stenson’s quadruple-bogey obliterates a fine Masters afternoon (Devil Ball Golf)

Yahoo! Sports - Golf News Latest news and information about the Golf.

Henrik Stenson's quadruple-bogey obliterates a fine Masters afternoon (Devil Ball Golf) Apr 5th 2012, 20:04 Until Thursday, Henrik Stenson was best known as th e guy who once stripped down to his underwear to play a shot out of the mud. But on his final hole on the first day of the Masters, he couldn't have felt any more exposed or mortified. He carded a quadruple-bogey 8, tied for the worst ever recorded at the final hole in a Masters, and saw the last of a three-shot lead vanish into the Augusta pines. Hole no. 18 at Augusta, named "Holly," plays 465 yards uphill, with potentially treacherous pine straw (yes, we did just type that) lining the hole. And it was exactly that straw that got Stenson into trouble. His tee shot landed among the pine straw, and he tried to get a drop but wasn't permitted to do so. He punched weakly onto the fairway, hammering his club on the ground in frustration. (At least he didn't injure himself with a tantrum this time .) Oh, but the troubles were just beginning. After a weak approach on the third shot, he flew over the green and landed among the patrons with his fourth, didn't reach the green with his fifth, left his sixth about three feet short, and in a final indignity missed the putt on his seventh shot. He fell from -5 and the lead to just another -1 in the pack. It was the ugliest kind of end to a day that had begun so well. Carding eagles on 2 and 8, Stenson was in command until the final stretch of the day, when he went bogey-birdie-bogey-par-snowman to give back five strokes. Stenson tried to look on the bright side of life, however. "Very disappointing finish, but I had good fun out there. Made two great eagles," he said . "It's a new day tomorrow." Thank heaven for him this one's done. As the Golf Channel noted , Stenson now holds the record for worst performance on two separate holes at Augusta; he quintuple-bogeyed the par-3 fourth in 2011. (Take heart, Henrik: the other two guys with that distinction are Arnold Palmer and Jumbo Ozaki, a couple Hall-of-Famers.) Oh, and one other thing: today's Stenson's birthday. Perhaps when he wished to make history at Augusta, he should have been more specific. -For the best in golf updates live from Augusta, follow Devil Ball Golf on Twitter at @jaybusbee and @jonathanrwall , and on Facebook right here -

Yahoo! Sports - Golf News: Tiger Woods opens Masters with solid even-par 72 in opening round (Devil Ball Golf)

Yahoo! Sports - Golf News Latest news and information about the Golf.

Tiger Woods opens Masters with solid even-par 72 in opening round (Devil Ball Golf) Apr 5th 2012, 19:59 We've seen some highly-anticipated Masters over the years, but coming into the 2012 edition, the hype seemed to hit a fevered pitch after Tiger Woods first official win in more than two years, setting the stage for what many thought could be a return to greatness for the 14-time major winner at the Masters. After one round at Augusta National, it would appear he's prepared to live up to the lofty expectations. Woods wasn't going to win the tournament on Thursday, but he certainly put himself in a good position to contend this week, posting an ever-par 72 that left him only three shots back of clubhouse leader Paul Lawrie. In typical Woods fashion, the round wasn't short of highlights, including a couple of Houdini-esque par saves on the opening two holes, after he snap-hooked his drive on the first and repeated the shot again on the second, watching it disappear deep into the woods and roll into a creek that wasn't even visible from the tee. But somehow, some way, Woods managed to escape with pars on both holes. It was an inauspicious start to the week, but in all honesty, getting away with pars on the first two holes had to feel like a gift. Woods seemed to sense how fortunate he was, rolling in a birdie putt on the third and another on the eighth to go out in 1-under 35.
