Weir, Connors fail to break 80, Hoffman with 67 clubhouse lead at Augusta

2015 Masters leaderboard click here http://www.masters.com/en_US/scores/index.html

After Arnie, Jack and Gary teed it up at 740am it was fitting that a guy who features green shoes as his trademark Charlie Hoffman, playing in just his second Masters hit the first official shot of this year at 7.45 EST


Weather forecast for Augusta https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=weather+forecast+for+augusta+Georgia


It's was already 70*f at 6am with no rain in today's forecast and little wind with a high of nearly 90*f so ideal for scoring.

So find below my hole by hole blog on what obviously was a tough day for our 2 Canucks, Mike Weir +10 82, I'll wait to hear if his elbow is right, this is not the score of a Masters champion who is still on tour. He drove wildly at times, didn't make a putt all day, put it in the water twice at 15, just a bad day. Amateur Corey Connors fell apart with bogey, bogey, double bogey,bogey from 5-8 to go out in 41 after starting with 4 straight pars, came back in 39 with his lone birdie at 18.


Charlie Hoffman the first guy out holds the clubhouse lead with a -5 67, but Tiger and Rory etal are out this afternoon...
