    AUGUSTA, Ga. - Seattle native Fred Couples had the shot of the day in the first round of the Masters on Thursday, holing out from 186 yards for an eagle on the 14th hole that propelled him to a 1-under 71. "I don't think I've ever had an eagle on a par-4 here before," said Couples, 65, who hit a 6-hybrid on his hole-out. "I hit it really, really well and it just carried the ridge.

Australian Cam Davis has called the Seattle area home since 2017. He is a very good player, and has been as high as No. 38 in the world. He was 12th at last year's Masters. https://t.co/kq3MpALyRc
