Mickelson struggling early at Masters
Golf Betting Lines
04/05/2007 - Augusta, GA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Defending champion Phil Mickelson will have a hard time successfully repeating if he can not rebound from a disastrous front nine Thursday at the Masters.
During the opening round of the 2007 season's first major championship, Mickelson recorded four bogeys, one double-bogey and two birdies for a four- over-par 40 and is six shots behind at Augusta National Golf Club.
The current leaders are 2002 PGA Champion Rich Beem, Englishman Justin Rose and Jeev Milkha Singh. The trio stands at two-under par and all three are still on the course.
Tim Clark, the runner-up last year to Mickelson, Zach Johnson and his American Ryder Cup teammate and local favorite Vaughn Taylor are in the clubhouse at one-under-par 71.
Tiger Woods, who has won the last two majors and will be in search of his fifth green jacket, just teed off and parred the first hole.
Mickelson is certainly not the only big-name player struggling on Thursday.
Colin Montgomerie, Fred Couples and Darren Clarke are on the course at plus- three, while Mickelson is tied with Stuart Appleby and reigning U.S. Open champion Geoff Ogilvy at four-over par.
Ernie Els has been worst than almost everyone on the course. He double-bogeyed his first hole, tallied four bogeys and collected his first birdie at 13. He is five-over par in an effort for a first Masters title.
Lee Westwood, Craig Stadler, Lucas Glover, Thomas Bjorn, Fuzzy Zoeller, Tom Pernice, Jr., Padraig Harrington and 2000 Masters champion Vijay Singh are at one-under par on the course.
Davis Love III finished his opening round at even-par 72.
