AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Masters co-leaders Ian Poulter and Lee Westwood have teed off at Augusta National, trying to hold off Tiger Woods.
The Englishmen start out at 8-under 136, both going for their first major championship. Woods teed off in the next-to-last group and immediately made up ground on those ahead of him, rolling in an 18-foot birdie putt to climb within one shot of the co-leaders.
It's another sunny, warm day at the Masters, with only a slight breeze and a course that appears to be set up for some low numbers. Heath Slocum shot a 5-under 31 on the front side. First-round leader Fred Couples started with two straight birdies and almost had three; an 8-footer for birdie at No. 3 slid by the cup.
