Champ Kind Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Jordan Spieth produced one of the greatest rounds of golf in major history on Thursday with a 64 to lead by three strokes after the first round of the 79th Masters. Still, Spieth closed with a 20-footer for a ninth birdie at the last to surpass fellow young gun Rory McIlroy as the youngest player to have led the Masters after the opening round and underlined once again his huge potential. Tied for second on his debut last year, Spieth ended the day at Augusta National as sole leader, three shots clear of a rejuvenated South African veteran Ernie Els, England's Justin Rose, Australian Jason Day and American Charley Hoffman. The superb performance by the Texan totally eclipsed the two big storylines that were the talk of Augusta at the start of the day concerning Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy.
