Brooks Koepka, Bryson DeChambeau and Phil Mickelson delivered enough excitement over the final two hours Thursday for quite an opening act at Augusta National. Koepka, a winner in two of the last three majors, ran off four straight birdies in the middle of the back nine by overpowering a soft course. DeChambeau came within inches of two hole-outs over the last three holes as he closed with four straight birdies. More impressive than the four straight birdies by DeChambeau was how he made them. "It's just a great test of golf to start out the first round of Masters," DeChambeau said.
