Masters 2019 leaderboard: Brooks Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau share lead after day one at Masters

Relive all the action from day one at Augusta

The masters: Which golfer has won the most titles?

Brooks Koepka, who has won two of the last three majors, held a share of the first-round Masters lead with Bryson DeChambeau while three-times champion Phil Mickelson was one shot off the pace on Thursday.

Koepka, who missed last year's Masters with a wrist injury, used a combination of jaw-dropping power and laser-like irons to card a six-under-par 66 to sit atop the leaderboard with Bryson DeChambeau, who came within inches of a closing eagle.

American Koepka, who does not have a top-10 finish in three starts at the Masters, enjoyed a four-hole birdie run from the 12th to pull ahead but had to settle for a share of the lead after DeChambeau closed with four consecutive birdies.

DeChambeau, who was playing two groups ahead of Koepka and nearly aced the par-three 16th, almost walked into the clubhouse with the outright lead but his approach at the 18th rammed into the flagstick and settled inches away for a tap-in birdie.

[12 April 2019 00:23 · Michael Jones]

Koepka is a good position to make birdie on the last. The struggles of Casey continue as he's off the back of the green in three and comes up well short with his par attempt.

[12 April 2019 00:25 · Michael Jones]

A round of 75 for Jordan Speith leaves him +3, Casey's had a day to forget finishing +9 for the day.

[12 April 2019 00:26 · Michael Jones]

Koepka misses the birdie putt but makes par. He's the only player to get a bogey free round as he comes in with a 66.
