Matthieu Pavon is in the Top 10 (-2), five shots behind Bryson DeChambeau. First French golfer in history to win on the PGA Tour launched his tournament perfectly this Thursday with three birdies on these first six holes, before calming down the pace.
The Frenchman will leave in 1 hour - around 4 p.m. French time - afterwards for his 2nd round, and above all try to make the cut for his first participation in the famous major tournament. Tiger Woods, back for Augusta, left more wisely with a card in the total par, in 30th place. For his part, the 25th in the world did not tremble at the end of the game to keep his 8th place (card of 70, -2), and will leave this Friday morning, like 26 other participants, to play in the second round. The first Major of the golf season, the Masters is the first tournament of the year and takes place in Augusta, Georgia.
