"Great start to the week obviously. Felt like I got a lot out of my round today. It started pretty scrappy. I was hitting out of the trees a little bit the first seven holes and then started to string some good swings together from the 8th hole onwards. Played those last 11 in five under."
"If I felt absolutely nothing on that first tee, that's not a good sign. So I knew I was feeling it. That's a good thing. That's why we want to be here. We want to be able to try to play our best golf when we're feeling like this."
Rory McIlroy and Sam Burns both shot five-under-par 67s to share the lead at the Masters, two shots ahead of Jason Day, Kurt Kitayama, and Patrick Reed. McIlroy overcame early struggles, making five birdies in his last 11 holes. Other pre-tournament favorites struggled, with Bryson DeChambeau shooting 76 and Jon Rahm 78. McIlroy expressed satisfaction with his performance, acknowledging his nerves at the start but viewing them as a positive sign of his competitive spirit.
