Augusta National played as it easy as it ever has. Will it continue? Can Paul Casey end his major drought? A look ahead to what will be a long Day 2 at the Masters.

Tiger Woods (68) matched his best first round at a Masters and is within striking distance of leader Paul Casey.

He's had it for 19 months. In his first round, it was clear he wants to keep it. Tiger opened with a flawless 68. Here's how it all went down on Day 1 at Augusta National.

The place was practically empty, the masses that usually follow not allowed inside the gates at Augusta National. For Tiger Woods, who opened with 68, the day was completely odd and still entirely familiar.

Paul Casey is leading the Masters after the first day of play, shooting a 7-under 65 as the first round was not completed due to early storms in Augusta, Georgia.

DeChambeau, the tournament favorite, had an up-and-down first round. He finished at 2-under for the day, but that doesn't tell everything about his long-hitting, shot-hooking, bush-finding day at Augusta National.

He swung for the fences. But Augusta National swung back. Still, Bryson DeChambeau finished off his wild first round with a good score and a promise to keep swinging away.

There is a lot of cool gear in the golf equipment world that doesn’t always fit neatly into Most Wanted Tests or Buyer’s Guides. You still want to know how it performs. In our We Tried It series, we put gear to the test and let you know if it works as advertised.

What’s a Force Pedal?

The Force Pedal is a spongy disk that claims to help you generate more clubhead speed by effectively using the ground during your swing.

Depending on your skill level, you’ll use either the soft or firm disk. The soft (orange) Force Pedal is an introduction to the process. It’s designed to teach you the basics of how to use the ground. It’s more stable than the firm Force Pedal, making it easier to maintain posture and balance.

After you’ve moved beyond an introduction to ground use with the soft Force Pedal, the firm disk is designed as a challenge. The yellow disk is intended to make your muscles work harder to maintain balance and stability.

Product Expert

Hi, I’m Harry and I am a professional golf product tester. (Yes, they exist.) I actually test a lot of things at MyGolfSpy and play professionally when I’m not checking and comparing specs on gloves, rangefinders, bags, ball retrievers, etc. You can call me the Senior Director of Product Testing here at MGS. You can also just call me Harry. That’s fine, too.

Turns out there is some normalcy to this Masters: rain. Weather suspended play shortly after the first round began on Thursday morning.

To be answered by the fall 2020 Masters, in no particular order:

The Lords of Augusta are going to let CBS fly a drone over the property? While the Masters is going? I’ll believe it when I see it.

Will players survive without their teams due to COVID restrictions?

With no crowds (and revealing roars), slow scoreboards and no cell phones outdoors (unless you’re Sir Nick), will players even know where they stand on the final nine? Could that impact a strategic decision down the stretch?

What will a Monday finish look like? (Sorry, folks with non-refundable reservations but Thursday’s forecast is not peachy).
