The man from Castellón signed a first card of 74 shots (+2) that will force him to improve a lot this Friday to make the cut
After a good first nine holes, he derailed in the nine seconds with four bogeys that hurt him and took him to the back of the standings.
Sergio García from Castellón did not have a good debut at the Augusta Masters after signing a first card of 74 hits (+2)which placed him at the back of the table, although with many players on the field.
García had a good start on the first nine holes where he got two birdies, in the par three six and repeated in the par five eight so he faced the second nine in a good position.
Although everything went wrong at the beginning of the 10th hole where a painful bogey broke his good streak on this first day. The man from Borriol made a mistake again at the start of the Amen Corner with a bogey at 13, which was followed by two more consecutive ones at 14 and 15 with a Sergio who had already lowered his head, discouraged by his play.
Three consecutive pairs to finish
Fortunately, the damage did not go to more and with three consecutive pairs at 16, 17 and 18 he closed his first round with those 74 shots that they force him this Friday to amend the card if he wants to have options to pass the cut.
For his part, the Basque Jon Rahm, who left a little later than the man from Castellón, if he met expectations and with five holes to go he was at the top of the classification, in second position, with -4, only surpassed by the Norwegian Viktor Hovland, the great protagonist of the day (-7), although still in the field.
