AUGUSTA, Ga. – A year after a triple bogey on No. 10 last year in the Masters to destroy all hopes of winning a green jacket, Rory McIlroy began this year’s campaign with a double bogey on the first hole. He rebounded with birdie on the par-5 second hole.

Phil Mickelson, following behind McIlroy made bogey on the opening hole and parred the second.
