Champ Kind Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 By Tim Wharnsby AUGUSTA, Georgia (Reuters) - Ernie Els suffered an embarrassing start to his 22nd Masters when he required six putts from a short distance on the first green to post a record-high nine on the par-four hole in Thursday's opening round. Els tried to gather himself before his putt for triple bogey. The previous Masters high score on Augusta National's opening hole was eight, recorded by Olin Browne and Scott Simpson in 1998 and matched in 2001 by the late Billy Casper, who was 69 at the time, and India's Milkha Singh in 2007.
