The Spanish golfer Sergio García signed the best debut this Thursday among the representatives of the ‘Navy’ in the Masters of Augusta, the first ‘Major’ of the season, matching the torque of the mythical journey of Georgia (United States), while Jon Rahm was very broken to start with a +3.
The Castellón left the countertop of his first 18 holes because the ‘putt’ did not accompany him. The recent champion in the Liv Golf quote of Hong Kong demonstrated his good moment in form, but could not materialize his ‘Birdie’ options, just for at least end in the field and within the ‘Top 30’.
Meanwhile, Rahm was very choked in a masters that marked as a turning point, after an erratic 2024 in the ‘Grand Slam’. Barrika suffered from the ‘Tee’ and went to tow from two ‘Bogeys’ in the first four holes. In the second nine he failed to change the panorama, although he took advantage of the five of the 13th and saved the pair in 18 from the sand.
The former world one of the world left a lot of work to be in the fight, ten blows from an almost unpolluted rose, until his last exit failed excessively and gave his only ‘bogey’ in 18. The English, twice second in Augusta and champion of the US Open in 2013, was the one who best took advantage of the kind field conditions, despite some more demanding flag and the fearsome
Rose’s perfect return flirted with Augusta National (-9) record and ended with that -7 that marks to start a head stalked by several favorites. The current champion and number one in the world, the American Scottie Scheffler marches -4, tied in second position with the Canadian Corey Conners, and the Swedish Ludvig Aberg, another of those who appeared in the pools.
The Englishman Tyrrell Hatton (-3) or the American Bryson Dechambeau (-3) responded. Meanwhile, Rory Mcilroy lio in the last four holes, when he went in -4, with two ‘double -bogeys’ in 15 and 17, to stay in the pair. The Norirlandés, undoubtedly a favorite for his two victories in the PGA before Augusta, faces his eleventh attempt to complete the ‘Great Slam’.
As for the rest of the Spaniards, veteran José María Olazabal, twice champion of the Masters, ended at +5 and the amateur Josele Ballester did it in +4, which points to both that both will have complicated to spend the cut and continue in Liza the weekend.
