One day is in the books at Augusta National and though weather played a small factor in how the course played for the morning and afternoon groups, it wasn't going to make a difference for Lee Westwood.
Westwood finished atop the leaderboard - his first time in this position after the first round of any major - at -5, one stroke ahead of Peter Hanson. Unless you've been living under a rock as a golf fan, you know Westwood is probably the best player to have never won a major yet, so his first round lead is significant.
Notable Scores
T11 Jim Furyk, Vijay Singh, -2... T14 Steve Stricker, Keegan Bradley, Rory McIlroy, Angel Cabrera, -1... T29 Tiger Woods, Fred Couples, Charl Schwartzel, E... T54 Phil Mickelson, +2... T60 Luke Donald, +3
Clearly Donald has a lot of work to do and Mickelson isn't too far behind that same quest. Expect some big movers today, and probably a couple of disappointing cuts.
