Sat Apr 12 19:30:00 UTC 2025: ## Low Scores Mark Opening Day at Masters Tournament
**Augusta, GA** – Favorable conditions at Augusta National Golf Club led to surprisingly low scores on the opening day of the Masters Tournament. While the course remains challenging, players with strong ball control are capitalizing on the calm winds and pristine greens. The scoring average through the early afternoon was a remarkably low +1.11.
Two players, Aaron Rai and Stephan Jaeger, demonstrated the potential for low scores, reaching 4-under-par through their first ten holes. While the course record of 63, set by both Nick Price (1986) and Greg Norman (1996), remains unbroken, several players are within striking distance. Notable low rounds at Augusta include Jordan Spieth’s two 64s (2015 and 2018) and Tiger Woods’ best round of 65 (1997 and 2005). The impressive early scores suggest a potentially exciting tournament ahead.
