Jordan Spieth lights up Augusta as youngest player to lead after first round
Texas 21-year-old shoots tournament's lowest opening round for 19 years

Jordan Spieth pulled off the unthinkable on Thursday. With the best opening round in 19 years, he managed to make the Masters about a lot more than the grand slam bid of Rory McIlroy and the curious return of Tiger Woods.
Spieth was must-see TV with his 8-under 64 on a steamy afternoon at Augusta National.
“It’s one of the better rounds I’ve ever played,” he said.
That wasn’t the case for McIlroy, though his round wasn’t awful. The world’s No. 1 player saved par four times on the front nine and scratched out a 71. Woods had three birdies in his round of 73, and while it was the first time since 2007 that he shot over par in the first round of the Masters, it was looked upon as progress. Plus, his short game looked like it was close to being back to normal.
But the day belonged to Spieth, a 21-year-old Texan who at least got into the Masters record book as the youngest to lead after the first round.
