Live Updates| Norway’s Hovland early leader at Masters

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Norway’s Viktor Hovland has raced to the early first round lead at the Masters. He is 5-under par through nine holes on an 81-degree, partly cloudy day at Augusta National. Hovland is one of 16 golfers under par with the afternoon groups set to tee off. He has seven career wins but has never won at major. Hovland eagled the par-5 second hole to gain some early momentum and followed with birdies at Nos. 6, 8 and 9 to record a 31 on the front nine. Hovland is playing in the same threesome with Tiger Woods, who is seven shots back at 2 over.
