00:00DRS after round number one, Rose atop the leaderboard.

00:03The fifth time he has been the round one leader at Augusta National.

00:08Seven under par, a spectacular opening round 65.

00:13Justin Rose in command, even making a bogey on his final hole.

00:17The 18th to finish at seven under, matching his best at Augusta in his career history.

00:24The fifth time that Justin Rose has led the Masters after round number one.

00:30Moving past Jack Nicklaus yesterday for the most times that any golfer has ever led after round number one at the Masters.

00:37Pretty incredible there for Justin Rose at that seven under.

00:39And also from Justin Rose playing that 18th hole.

00:42Here's what I love about veterans here.

00:44You're minus eight.

00:45Like, okay, I hit a bad tee shot.

00:47If you were a little bit younger in your age and not as wise as you need to be,

00:50you might have tried to play a circus shot out of the straw going, you know what?

00:54I'm going to get this up by the green, chip up, and still par this.

00:56All he did was flick the pitching wedge 20 yards to the left, said, you know what?

01:01I'm taking six out of play.

01:03Let me just get my bogey and get out of here.

01:05That's the sign of maturity here, and that's what you need to win some of these tournaments.

01:08A three-shot lead overnight, that was ultra impressive because I don't think anybody had Justin Rose on the top of their card,

01:14particularly round number one, even to challenge for a Masters green jacket this season.

01:17But that's fantastic to see it play out.

01:19We'll see how he does today.

01:21If he holds up his end of the bargain, I don't mean shooting 65 again.

01:24Let's just say he goes high 60, 68, 69 in that range.

01:28Then you're in for it and say, you know what?

01:29He might be in this race all the way through.
