Nick Dunlap scored 18 over on the opening day of the Masters, a card more than twice as bad as any other player to take to the Augusta course. On his second outing at the Major, having made his debut last year, the young American came away with four double bogeys and a triple to compound his misery.
He officially carded a 90, which remarkably is still not the worst round in Masters history. That honour belongs to Charles Kunkle, who posted 95 in 1956. Dunlap started his day with a bogey, then making the first of just six pars all day. Two bogeys followed before a triple bogey on the fifth hole.
The 21-year-old out of the University of Alabama then went three holes without a bogey, his biggest stretch of the day, before falling foul on the ninth. A par on 10 was followed by back-to-back double-bogeys.
Two more bogeys on 13 and 14 saw the 2024 PGA Tour Rookie of the Year rack up shots, before his final par on the 15th. He ended the day with double bogey, bogey and then a final double bogey on the 18th to finish 18 over.
