Masters 2011-Rory McIlroy Leading The First Round

An all-star cast of golf's greatest players challenge legendary Augusta National in the 75th Masters starting on Thursday, with the world No 1 ranking and a major title up for grabs.

Rory McIlroy and Alvaro Quiros advanced golf's youth movement and its global reach in a major way on a sunny Thursday at the Masters.

The 21-year-old McIlroy, who opened with a 63 at St. Andrews last summer in the British Open, again delivered exquisite shots on one of golf's biggest stages for a 7-under 65. It was such a clean round that he didn't make a bogey and was left wondering how much lower he could have gone if not for missing five birdie chances inside 10 feet.

"It's possible I could shoot another 65, but I know it's also likely that I'm not going to do that. So, if I do find myself in a bit of trouble, I'm going to have to stick in there and grind it out." "It wasn't maybe as exclusive or spectacular as the 63 at St. Andrews," he said. "But it was very solid from start to finish." By the way, McIlroy used the Titleist golf clubs.

The good news for McIlroy was not only a great start to the Masters, but a great forecast.An all-star cast of golf's greatest players challenge legendary Augusta National in the 75th Masters starting on Thursday, with the world No 1 ranking and a major title up for grabs.

Last summer in Scotland, the freckle-faced kid from Northern Ireland followed his record-tying 63 with an 80 when he got caught up in the blustery conditions of St. Andrews. He eventually rallied for a tie for third at the Open, and hopes he gained some experience.

Then came Quiros, a 28-year-old Spaniard whom many consider the longest hitter in the game. Blasting away on a course where he had never shot better than 75, he spun an approach back to 3 feet on the 18th hole to catch McIlroy atop the leaderboard.

"Finally I play well," said Quiros, who broke his previous low score in two Masters appearances by 10 strokes. "I was lucky, too, and I hole some putts. "The best club in my bag today was the putter."
