he wind was blowing fiercely at the 2017 Masters Tournament in Augusta, Georgia, but that did not have an impact on 2000 UNLV grad Charley Hoffman who shot a 65 and 7-under par, which gave him a four-stroke lead and this margin is the largest first round advantage since 1955.
Hoffman and William McGirt were the only two players to break 70 on the day, McGirt shot a 69.
His back nine was where he shined on the day by converting five birdies on his final six holes before parring out on 18. He ended the first round with nine birdies.
