British golfer Justin Rose and South African Trevor Immelman are currently atop the leaderboard at the Masters Tournament in Augusta.
Today was the first of four rounds in the tournament.
Tiger Woods ended up behind the leaders, playing even and finishing with a par 72.
But the tournament is still early, and Woods is still favored to win.
Woods has set a major goal for himself. He has publicly stated that he wants to win all four championships this year.
British golfer Ian Poulter took an early lead tied for second during the day, but was bumped a bit down the leaderboard by the end of the day. He's tied for fifth.
In a celebrated play, Poulter scored a hole-in-one at the 16th hole.
Poulter had set his own goal. He said recently he thought he could be Woods's main challenger. His comments had been met with laughs and controversy.
"Amongst the guys, it was friendly banter," Poulter told reporters after finishing the first round. "But to open the newspaper and see the comments in there, and see what people think and compare you to Tiger, I wasn't comparing anything to Tiger."
Fog delayed the first round Thursday by an hour.
There are three more rounds in the Masters. The second round is Friday.
