Dustin Johnson poured in four birdies Friday morning to complete his first round with a 7-under 65 and hold a share of the lead with Paul Casey and Dylan Frittelli after 18 holes at the Masters.
It's Johnson's lowest score of his lengthy career at Augusta National. He's one of 52 players who went under par in the opening round, the most in the event's 84-year history.
Frittelli joined Johnson with a charge to complete his first round on Friday, birdieing his first hole and jarring two more before completion. He sits one ahead of both Justin Thomas and Sungjae Im, with a host of big names within three shots.
