The most prestigious tournament in the sport of golf opened on Thursday with the first round of the 2025 Masters in Augusta, Georgia. Alabama is represented by three former Crimson Tide golfers: Nick Dunlap, Davis Riley and Justin Thomas.

Riley and Thomas are both tied for 38th after shooting a 1-over-par 73. Thomas is making his 10th Masters start, making the cut in seven of his previous nine trips. This is Riley's first time competing at The Masters.

Justin Rose leads the entire field after Day 1 at 7-under. All the golfers will be back on the course at Augusta National on Friday.

On This Day in Crimson Tide History:

April 11, 1961: Algernon Blair, Inc. of Montgomery won the bid to expand Denny Stadium from its capacity of 31,000 to 43,000 by the Tuscaloosa opener with North Carolina State on October 14. Work would begin immediately on the expansion, which included 6,000 additional seats on both the east and west sides as well as a new two-level press box with an elevator. The cost of the project was $408,000. — Bryant Museum

Crimson Tide Quote of the Day:

“The coaches in the NFL respect Coach Saban. They respect his opinion. I think for me to be able to play under him and produce the way I did and be able to learn his system and be a leader back there, I think it only just adds to the positives for me. Then for him to be able to vouch for me — ‘This guy can play at the next level' — I think that's only going to help me." — Former Alabama safety Rashad Johnson (2005-08)
