The sun, which has beamed down on Augusta all week without a drop of rain, has made it firm and fast, and it’s unlike anything we have seen from the iconic course in years. That wasn’t an issue for Jason Day, who shot a 69 in round one to put himself in the mix. The Australian thinks he’s identified an advantage for himself already.

He said after his round. “Man, like it’s — you can start seeing — if you look down the first fairway you start seeing the purple change.
That’s when you know when you start seeing that tinge of purple, that’s when you know it’s starting to get firm and fast. “Like I said yesterday was a dramatic difference in the way the course was playing. It was very soft — it was softer, a lot softer, a lot slower.
