THE HOLE OF THE DAY

A look at the key hole in the first round of the 61st Masters:

Hole: 18

Par: 4 Yardage: 405

* THE RESULTS: 1 eagle; 4 birdies; 55 pars; 18 bogeys; 8 others.

* STROKE AVERAGE: 4.326.

* RANKING: Sixth toughest.

* LEADERS: John Huston holed a five-iron for an eagle, giving him a 67 and a one-stroke lead over Paul Stankowski, who also birdied the hole.

* NOTABLE: The last eagle on No. 18 was in 1974 by Jim Colbert.

* KEY FACT: Huston pushed his drive right almost into the 10th fairway. Then he hit a five-iron from 190 yards into the hole for an eagle, giving him the lead.
