Rory McIlroy empata en el liderato del Masters tras una primera ronda de 67 golpes

Rory McIlroy firmó una tarjeta de 67 golpes, 5 bajo par, en la primera ronda del torneo Masters para compartir el liderato con Sam Burns. El campeón defensor mostró un enfoque relajado a pesar de acertar solo cinco de las 14 calles, restándole importancia a un golpe de salida desviado en el primer hoyo junto al aficionado Mason Howell. McIlroy atribuyó su buen juego a la libertad ganada tras su victoria el año pasado.

McIlroy llegó al primer tee sintiendo los nervios habituales de sus anteriores participaciones en Augusta National. 'Estaba nervioso, ansioso, tal como siempre me siento en ese primer tee', comentó después de la ronda. Tanto él como el campeón del U.S. Amateur de 18 años, Mason Howell, desviaron sus drives hacia la izquierda, pero se marcharon juntos entre risas, algo diferente a los inicios llenos de presión de años anteriores cuando McIlroy perseguía el Grand Slam de su carrera. Howell terminó con 77 golpes, 5 sobre par, y recordó: 'Poder salir de ese tee riéndome con Rory, fue bastante divertido'.
