Masters 2026: McIlroy Defends Title

Rory McIlroy begins his title defense at The Masters 2026 with strong performances from Tommy Fleetwood and Patrick Reed.

While McIlroy, Fleetwood, and Reed make positive starts, Carlos Ortiz is struggling at Augusta National. The Mexican golfer has started 5-7-5-4-6, with three bogeys and two double bogeys through five holes, sitting at +7 early in his round.

The 2026 Masters marks the 30th anniversary of a significant moment in tournament history, though the reference to "Greg" appears to be cut off in the feed.
