Special foreign invitation
Hideto Tanihara
and Ian Poulter
were the first competitors to tee off in the 2007 Masters. Both posted scores that were over par. Poulter posted a 3 over 75, while Mayfair posted a 4 over 76. The course proved to be playing tough, as many big names faltered on the opening day. Ernie Els
finished with a 6 over 78. Defending champion Phil Mickelson
looked set to get the same score, but two late birdies, salvaged a poor round, as he came home with a 4 over 76, world number two Jim Furyk
, managed a 3 over 75 to keep himself in contention. Gary Player
playing in his 50th masters could only manage an 11 over 83, two times winner Seve Ballesteros could only manage a 13 over par 86. 2006 runner up Tim Clark produced a wonderful shot on the 18th hole to get to a 1 under round of 71. Coming up the 18th Clark was level par, but he had pushed his second shot to the left of the green. Clark decided to putt from off the green, and his ball went all the way round the green before dropping in the hole to secure his 1 under round of 71. The leaders after the first round were Justin Rose
and Brett Wetterich
, both posted rounds of 3 under 69. Rose set a new lowest putts record, as he went round in 20 putts. One of the reasons for this was his superb chipping which included a holed bunker shot on the 5th to pick up his second birdie after one at the 3rd. He then crisply rolled home at 14 to move to three-under and made a fine save at the last having found a greenside bunker to secure his round of 69. Wetterich produced 5 birdies during his round to secure his place in the lead after 18 holes. The chasing pack consisted of David Howell
who eagled the 15th to post a 2 under 70, and David Toms
who was last out on the course and also produced a 2 under 70. Behind them on 1 under were Vaughn Taylor
, Zach Johnson
, Rich Beem
and J. J. Henry.
and Tim Clark held the 36-hole lead at -2. Clark was the only man in the field to shoot under par in both rounds (71-71). Vaughn Taylor
held third place by himself at -1. Despite only three being under par, several golfers were within striking distance. Vijay Singh
was among a group of four at even par, and Pádraig Harrington
was among a group of six at +1. The cut was set at +8 and the most notable golfers to miss the cut were Sergio García
and Ernie Els
.
Amateurs: Kelly
(+10) Ramsay
(+12), Guerrier
(+20), Watabu (+21), Womack (+21).
took the 54-hole lead at +2. Tiger Woods
was able to shoot way up the leaderboard into a tie for second with an even par round. Justin Rose
shot a three-over 75 to settle into the tie for second with Woods. Retief Goosen
was the only player to shoot a round under par on Saturday with a two under 70, he made the cut on the number at +8 on Friday. Both golfers in the final group shot in the 80s. Brett Wetterich
shot an 83 and Tim Clark shot an 80 to fall way off the lead that they shared after 36 holes. After the third round, 12 golfers sat within four-strokes of the lead.
completed a Cinderella story with a three-under 69 to claim his first green jacket. Johnson captured the tournament with three birdies over his final six holes. Johnson became the third Masters champion to win the tournament with a score above par. However, he matched the round of the day and was able to hold off a group of three, including Tiger Woods
, that finished two strokes back. Woods lost a major for the first time in which he held the lead at some point in the final round. However, since he was a stroke behind Stuart Appleby
coming into the day his 12-0 record when leading going into the final round remained intact. Speaking of Appleby, he wilted with a three-over 75 and finished in a tie for seventh. South African's Retief Goosen
and Rory Sabbatini
shot matching three-under 69s to finish in a tie for second with Woods.
