Scottie Scheffler, while he did not have a great start was able to find consistency and battle back to finish 1-over par for a 73 on the day. Finally, Dylan Frittelli had the worst finish of the first round out of the three Longhorns as he finished 4-over par on the day. Frittelli will need to improve on his putting, something that most golfers struggled with on Thursday, if he hopes to improve in the second round.
Each of the three players has a great shot to make the cut by the end of the second round and give the nature of the Masters, none of them are out of the running quite yet.
Therefore, all eyes will be on the second round as all three Longhorns make a push to stay alive into the weekend.
