This happens every year. I cried during the ceremonial start of the Masters as Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer teed off.
Retief Goosen eagled the first hole, a par-4 with a hole out. After four holes he’s now at -4, tied with Ross Fisher who just got up and down from the front bunker on the par-3 12th. The two leaders at -4 are nicknamed Fish and Goose.
Rory McIlroy is off to a good start at -3 after five holes.

As of now, 9:44am ET, a few players have gotten their first rounds started. The biggest fireworks so far are credited to Retief Goosen, who eagled the par-4 first hole. He’s atop the leaderboard, leading 7 other layers by one shot at -2.

I look forward to the Masters for so many reasons every year. As a golf web geek I always like seeing the cool stuff they do with the design of Masters.com and the new innovations they implement every year.
Map missing
In poking around the new Masters web site, I found that the course map is gone. I feel that is a big omission, especially for those who want to check out the routing.
Here’s a screen cap from last year’s iPhone app which has a course map:
