Who were the winners and losers in the first round at the Masters? Let's take an unscientific look at Day One with our rundown of birdies and bogeys.
Birdie: Rory McIlroy
A quiet start to the season, maybe, but McIlroy is developing a habit for making noise on the grandest stages. An opening-round 65 reminded the golf world that it's only a matter of time before the 21-year-old McIlroy starts winning the big ones in bunches. Tied with Alvaro Quiros at seven-under par, he is the youngest first-round leader in Masters history, and gives Europe a chance to end a 12-year winless streak in the Masters.
