AUGUSTA, Ga. – There was an interesting mix of names atop the early leaderboard here at Augusta National on Thursday.
Brian Gay made birdies on Nos. 2 and 3 and is 2 under through three holes. Heath Slocumb is in a group of five at 1 under. Gay’s caddie is Kip Henley, a former Chattanooga resident, and Chattanooga native D.J. Nelson is carrying Slocumb’s bag.
Also among the group at 1 under are former champ Bernhard Langer and Louis Oosthuizen, who won the par-3 contest Wednesday.
