Round 1 Play Suspended

Højgaard was unable to finish his round Thursday with play being suspended at 7:51 p.m. due to darkness. Heavy rainstorms delayed tee times by over two hours Thursday morning, leaving 27 golfers with holes still left to play in Round 1.

Tiger Woods (-1) was able to get through 13 holes until play was suspended Thursday and he’s currently finishing his first round. Woods, who hasn’t finished a tournament in 2024, will have to play 23 holes Friday. He is scheduled to tee off for his second round at 10:18 a.m. with Max Homa (-4) and Jason Day (E).

Former Gator Villegas Shoots 74

Former Florida Gators All-American golfer Camilo Villegas shot 2-over Thursday to sit tied for 54th place. Villegas is making his seventh Masters appearance overall, and his first since 2015. Further, it’s his first start in a major championship since the 2015 PGA Championship held at Whistling Straits.

Villegas got off to a tough start in Round 1. He bogeyed the first two holes and double-bogeyed the fifth hole to put himself at 4-over. However, he bounced back with birdies on holes six and nine to shoot 38 (+2) on the front nine. He began the back nine with a birdie-par-bogey-birdie start on holes 10-13 until ending with a bogey on the 18th hole to finish 2-over on the day.
