No golfer has such a contrasting opening-round compared to last year at the Masters like the one Paul Casey had at Augusta National Golf Club on Thursday.
Last year, Casey began the Masters by shooting an 81 in the first round, going on to miss the cut at the 36-hole mark. That shouldn't happen this year after Casey shot a 65 to open the 2020 tournament, matching his best career round at Augusta National. According to ESPN Stats & Info, his 16-stroke improvement was the best year-to-year first-round turnaround in Masters history.
It also has Casey in the lead at seven under par heading into Friday.
