The tradition of bad weather and the Masters continues, as round 1 has already been disrupted and was paused in between due to heavy rain and speedy winds in Georgia. The 88th Masters was already delayed by 2.5 hours before it could even start because of storms blowing throughout the area Thursday morning. Although the round commenced at 10:30 am, it had to be suspended at 7:51 pm because of darkness. Well, this leaves the entire golf community in sheer curiosity about what is going to happen next.

The top 3 players were Bryson DeChambeau who bagged a 7-under 65, Scottie Scheffler who was just one stroke behind at 6-under 66, and Nicolai Højgaard, who was 2 strokes behind and could not continue with his round after the 15th hole. At a crucial moment like this, even the slightest update gives some tea to the fans. So, let us explore the timings and probabilities of the tee-off for the second round of the Masters 2024.

Well, it was players like Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, or Brooks Koepka that people thought would be leading. However, the limelight was stolen by someone completely unexpected, who rose from his curse of bad games at the Georgian greens. Bryson Chambeau did not have a great record in the last six Masters that he had participated in. But from what transpired on Day 1, it seems like the Augusta greens have finally decided to forgive him!

Bryson DeChambeau steals the lead at Augusta National on Day 1

Regarded as the Scientist for his ingenious techniques, Bryson DeChambeau truly had nothing to be upset about anymore at the 2024 Masters. He finally got his dream start, despite the long wait of 2.5 hours. He went along the greens at the Augusta National Golf Club to an opening 7-under 65 to become the only one taking the lead on the leaderboard.

The 2020 US Open Champion expertly drove the ball down the center of the fairway with his opening shot and approached the first birdie on his scorecard. The thirty-year-old carded back-to-back birdies, first at the Pink Dogwood and then at the Flowering Peach. However, he ended his front nine on a rather somber note with a bogey at Carolina Cherry (par-4, ninth hole.)

He was at just 2-under when he moved to the back nine and was only a few strokes behind the early pace setters. That was when he switched gears. He still managed to get through the par 4s at the 10th and 11th holes and found his way to a birdie on the Golden Bell, the 12th hole. Before he got his fifth birdie on the last hole of the amen corner, three more birdies waited for the Scientist at the Firethorn, Redbud, and Nandina. Ending the round on a spectacular note with a total of 8 birdies and just 1 bogey and winning over three hearts of the spectators!

Now the question is, will he be able to go on with his winning spree? Or will the curse hit back? Stay tuned to find out!
