Rose back on top after first round of Masters

golf

Justin Rose has the first round of the Masters down pat. It's the rest of the tournament he must master. Rose shot a 4-under 68 that put him atop the leaderboard on a warm, sunny opening day that featured Ian Poulter's hole-in-one, a solid start to Zach Johnson's title defense and Tiger Woods poised for a run at another green jacket. Sound familiar? It should. In 2004, the Englishman led after the first and second rounds but faded to a tie for 22nd.
