Masters Underway In Augusta

The Masters golf tournament is underway from Augusta this morning. The first threesome teed-off right at 8 o’clock--Ian Woosnam, Chez Reavie, and Briny Baird. The groups of golfers will continue to start their rounds into early afternoon. That includes Tiger Woods, who’s won four times at Augusta. Woods tees-off at 1:52 today. Last year’s defending champ, Trevor Immelman, starts in the group preceding Woods. Weather in Augusta this morning was fair and 53-degrees at the tournament's start. The Augusta-area is headed for a high of 77 under mostly sunny skies, with a west wind of 6-8 mph.

A programming note that GPB's Georgia Gazette will originate from Augusta and the Masters tonight--Mary Ellen Cheatham hosting. Join us on the GPB Radio network at 6pm, 7pm in Athens, or join us online at gpb.org to stream the show.
