After a rain delay to start the morning, the 88th Masters is underway with the first round to wrap up on Friday morning
Yahoo Sports Staff
The 88th Masters is off and running.
Bryson DeChambeau got off to a hot start on Thursday after rain delayed the start of the opening round. DeChambeau fired a 7-under 65 to grab the early lead with LIV Golf CEO Greg Norman watching, and he got his round done before winds really picked up at Augusta National.

Tiger Woods went off in the late wave, and opened his day with a birdie. He got through 13 holes before play was called due to darkness, so he'll have five holes left on Friday in his opening round.
Scottie Scheffler finished a shot back from DeChambeau with his 6-under 66. Nicolai Højgaard, who had two birdie chip-ins on Thursday, is alone in third at 5-under. He got through 15 holes when play was called.
The first round will resume at 7:50 a.m. ET on Friday morning.

And there's the horn calling play for the day. Golfers can finish out their current hole if they want to. Tiger is on the 13th green now.

That's another up-and-down par save, this time from the woodchips above the green, for Tiger there at the 12th. He's hanging in there with only a bit of daylight left at Augusta.
Three straight par saves for @TigerWoods.

He should definitely be more concerned...
The nursery isn't ready, which does feel like a problem.

Højgaard is perfect with his wedge today. He's T3 now at 4-under.

Tiger Woods is 1-under par at the turn, but he's rapidly running out of time here.
Tiger's group makes the turn in 2 hours, 50 minutes. About 80 minutes of daylight left. They'll probably finish 13 holes. Going to be a very long day tomorrow.

Scottie Scheffler is in a great spot with three days to go.
Scottie Scheffler: 1st career bogey-free round at #TheMasters
He's the 3rd reigning world no. 1 to open a Masters with 66 or lower - Dustin Johnson shot 65 in 2020 (won) and Greg Norman shot 63 in 1996 (finished 2nd).

Scottie Scheffler is just one back of Bryson DeChambeau after 18 holes. His opening-round 66 is his lowest round ever at Augusta National.

Scottie Scheffler is making moves. He's at 6-under now after this ridiculous dart at 16.

Patrick Cantlay from 146 yards out! That's one way to get under par.

Tiger Woods just left a birdie putt well short at the 5th. He's still at even on the day.

Greg Norman found a way into Augusta National this week, and he was spotted following LIV Golf member Jon Rahm for much of the first round. Just a few holes ahead, Bryson DeChambeau entered the clubhouse with a 7-under 65 to grab the early lead.

Nicolai Højgaard with a chip-in now! That's brought him into the red on the day.
