Live Updates| Live from 9th fairway, McIlroy does interview
AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Augusta National has taken another surprising step toward modernization. The Masters allowed for a walk-and-talk during the opening round when Rory McIlroy answered questions for the ESPN telecast while playing the ninth fairway. CBS produces the Masters. It first broke out the technology at the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines. Trevor Immelman was in the booth and held a Q-and-A with Max Homa as he played the 13th hole. Homa went on to win. Even tradition-rich Augusta National is now in the mix. McIlroy told viewers what club he would be hitting into the green.
