English golfer Justin Rose is in the lead after the opening round of the Masters Tournament at Augusta National in Georgia Thursday.

Rose shot a 7-under 65, giving him a four-stroke lead over American Brian Harman and Hideki Matsuyama of Japan, who are tied in second place. Defending champion Dustin Johnson, who set the record last year at 20-under 268, failed to break par.

English golfer Tommy Fleetwood got a hole-in-one in the opening round of the Masters Tournament Thursday. He made the 170-yard shot on the par-3 16th hole at Augusta National.

It was the second tournament in a row in which the 30-year-old hit a hole-in-one, after also making one two weeks ago at the Match Play Championship. The rest of the day didn’t go as well, however, for Fleetwood, who ended at two-over par.
