Three out of four ain't bad: In a group at tied for sixth at 4-under par 68 are former Masters winner Mike Weir, former US Open winner Angel Cabrera and former British Open Champion Todd Hamilton. The closest thing to a PGA Champion in the same group is Kenny Perry who finished second in a playoff to Mark Brooks at Vallhalla in the 1996 PGA Championship.

ID's, please: Other names of note on the leaderboard. Padraig Harrington's quest for the Paddy Slam began with a 3-under par 69. The winner of the last two majors sits in a tie for 14th heading into round two. Tiger Woods is in a large group tied for 20th after round one. Woods posted a two-under par 70 which was marred by an indifferent putter. There were several rolls of the flatstick that could have easily gone down and given the Striped One his first sub-60 first round EVER at Augusta National. Also in at 2-under par 70, Greg Norman, Lee Westwood, Nick Watney, Zach Johnson, Prayad Marksaeng, Miguel Angel Jimenez and Lee Westwood.

Cheesehead: Steve Stricker shot an even par 72 and is tied for 39th. Strick had three birdies a bogey and a double in round one.

Back to the 80s: Michael Campbell was the only player in the field to post an 80 on the day. Campbell who has been battling back and shoulder injuries all season didn't card a birdie in his eight bogey round.

On a day ripe for scoring (light winds, accessible hole locations, warm temps) some of the more surprising names over par included: Phil Mickelson at 1-over par 73. The world's number two ranked player carded two birdies and three bogeys in round one. Also at 1-over 73, Camillo Villegas whose scorecard featured just five pars to go along with six birdies and seven bogeys.

Wow! Sergio Garcia was also at +1 with three birdies and four bogeys on his card for the day. Fred Couples had five birdies and six bogeys in his 1-over par 73. Japanese teen sensation Ryo Ishikawa also had five birdies and six bogeys in his +1 73. New Zealand amateur Danny Lee double No. 9, bogeyed No. 10 and birdied No. 17 in his round of +2 74. Justin Leonard's +3 75 featured two bogeys, a double and a birdie. Retief Goosen's +3 75 included two birdies and five bogeys. Ernie Els had two birdies and five bogeys in his +3 75 after one round.

So with round one in the books, Tiger, though not at the top of the leaderboard is still in play and while he piped his driver on a number of occasions, his putter let him down most of the day.

* At 7:00 a.m. Central time on Tee #1, Larry Mize, John Merrick and Drew Kittleson will get day number two of The Masters underway.

* Steve Stricker goes off at 8:28 a.m. Central time with Ben Crenshaw and Paul Casey.

* Round One Leader Chad Campbell goes off at 8:17 a.m. with Andres Romero and Boo Weekley.

* Tiger Woods goes off at 9:45 a.m. Central time with Stewart Cink and Jeev Milka Singh.
