Delayed nearly three hours due to torrential rains, which hit Augusta on Thursday morning, the first round will end on Friday morning. Author of a sumptuous 67 (-5), with five birdies and an eagle, the Englishman Paul Casey has two strokes ahead of the Americans Webb Simpson, Xander Sc Chaudele and Justin Thomas. The latter was interrupted by night when he had just completed hole 10. Tiger Woods, the defending champion, signed a very promising 68 (-4) to point to the front posts (4th provisional). Bryson DeChambeau, winner of the last US Open, had a roller-coaster day for his part. But his two birdies on the last holes allowed him to finish in ambush with -2 (70) in 11th place. The last player to set off on the course, Victor Perez was interrupted by the night, when he was at -1 after 7 holes.
