Who were the winners and losers on Thursday at Congressional? It's time for a closer look with our first round edition of birdies and bogeys.
Birdie: Rory McIlroy
It apparently didn't take Rory long to shed the disappointment of the Masters. His 65, in which he made no bogeys and hit 17 of 18 greens on Thursday, matched his opening round at Augusta, making this the third time in the last four majors he's had the first-round lead. Of course, the question for McIllroy isn't how he starts but how he finishes. At least at Congressional, it looks like he'll be around to provide an answer.
