Tiger Woods lost two strokes and his red number in finishing the last five holes, making bogeys at 14 and 18 to shoot 73. Shane Lowry had only two holes left to finish and dropped a stroke at the last to shoot 73 himself.

Thirty players went home Thursday night with incompleted first rounds. They returned to a relative killing fields at Augusta National on Friday morning.

Any idea that the course might have softened and the winds diminished overnight were refuted in a deluge of hope-dashing scores for many of the morning finishers when they resumed play at 7:50 am local time.
