Brian Stuard opened his career at the masters with a triple bogey 7 on the first hole. From that point on he struggled to find consistency. His final 17 holes went like this: birdie, bogey, par, par, birdie, bogey, par, par, par, bogey, par, birdie, bogey, 3 pars, and a bogey. His first round 77 leaves him 5 over and 7 shots off the lead as I post this article.
Stuard has his work cut out for him on day 2. Certainly his +5 score will leave him in the bottom quarter of the leaderboard and on the outside looking in as far as making the cut for day 3.
