The tee times and groupings for round 1 at this year’s Masters are out. Here are the groups to watch on Thursday.
Group 11: 15.06 BST
Two-time champion Bubba Watson is playing alongside Brooks Koepka, the comeback kid, and rising star Viktor Hovland who won last year’s silver cup.
Group 13: 15.30 BST
Defending champion Dustin Johnson is playing alongside 20-time Masters player and 2 time runner up Lee Westwood. The two tournament big dogs will be playing with 22-year-old American amateur Tyler Strafaci, no pressure there!
Group 14: 15.42 BST
Xander Schauffele, Jon Rahm. Rory McIlroy. Need we say more?
What better way could Jon Rahm make his new-born son proud than winning his first Masters tournament?
Group 28: 18.36 BST
Cut to a little later in the evening over on our side of the pond. Rogue swinger Bryson DeChambeau is playing with Aussie Adam Scott and Max Homa who won in a close playoff at the genesis invitational in Feburary this year. Will he get that far at the Masters?
Group 30: 19.00 BST
After a seemingly never-ending slump Jordan Spieth, winner of last week’s Valero Texas Open could make one of the best comeback streaks we’ve seen if he wins this year’s Masters. He’ll be playing alongside Cameron Smith and Collin Morikawa in the final group of the day.
