Third-ranked Young, last month’s Players Championship winner, got off to a scorching start with birdies on five of the first 10 holes. “There certainly is no lead that’s safe out here but Rory loves it here and no one would be surprised if he had shot 65,” Young said. Lowry, the 2019 British Open winner, became the first Masters player with multiple holes-in-one, having aced the 16th in the final round in 2016. You’re out there and you’re in the hunt at the Masters and you’re making hole-in-one. “It’s going to take a special round tomorrow, so there’s a chance, which is great,” Rose said.
