Masters Leader Board


Masters Leader Board
Northern Irish golfer, 21-year-old, Rory McIlroy is six under through 13 holes after the first round of the US Masters 2011. McIlroy is now one shot ahead of Retief Goosen.
McIlroy went for the Eagle on the 13th, missed wide and gave himself a great chance for a birdie. The ball lipped around the cup and McIlroy had to settle for par.
The pair briefly shared the lead until Goosen lost a shot on the 11th hole.
McIlroy only turned professional in 2007 and has already made a great impression on the world of golf. He has already been compared to Tiger Woods and have one win on the European Tour and one PGA Tour win.
In 2010 he made a name for himself when he shot 63 on the opening day of the Open Championship. He finished tied third. Later in the year he missed out on having a three-way tie with Bubba Watson and Martin Kaymer in the PGA Championship.
England's Ross Fisher is already in the clubhouse at -3. Brandt Snedeker is on his final hole of the day at -3. Sean O'Hair and Camillo Villegas are both in the clubhouse after impressive first round scores of -2. Japanese superstar Ryo Ishikawa sits at -2 through ten holes.
