313: Thursday at the Masters: Rory Leads + Augusta Looks CRISPY

As the first round of the Masters Tournament concludes, Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme recap all the Thursday action from Augusta National - Rory McIlroy cruises to a co-lead in his title defense, while some big names struggle as the golf course gets firm and fast much earlier than expected.

Smylie and Charlie discuss the difficulty of approaches into the 13th and 15th holes, predict conditions as the week progresses, and take questions from producer Jaxon Brown.

Tune in tomorrow - as we recap the cut, and who looks positioned to win the first major of 2026!
