2025 Masters featured groups and players to watch on Friday

[ASFN Admin]

The first round of the 2025 Masters is in the books, and Augusta National Golf Club was a stout test on the opening day.

Scottie Scheffler, the defending champion, opened with a bogey-free 68, but two-time PGA Tour winner Nick Dunlap shot 90. There was a little bit of everything in the first round, but Augusta National was a brilliant test Thursday, and that should continue throughout the week.
