HOLE OF THE DAY: NO. 18

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

Hole: 18.

Yardage: 405.

Par: 4.

Stroke average: 4.11,

Rank: 11th

Key fact: Brandel Chamblee and Scott McCarron birdied the 18th to get into a tie for the lead. It wasn’t so hospitable for Ernie Els, whose double bogey on the final hole dropped him out of a share of the lead.
