Jordan Spieth’s first round at the 2015 Masters was a thing of beauty. Just look at the scorecard below.

Spieth, who is only 21-years-old, finished with a 64, one off the course record at Augusta National. He currently holds a three-stroke lead over Ernie Els, Charley Hoffman, Justin Rose and Jason Day who are tied for second.

Tiger Woods shot a one-over 73 and is tied for 41st. Rory McIlroy shot a one-under 71 and is tied for 18th.

*The actual course record at Augusta National is 61. It was set in 2002 by Augusta member Jeff Knox from the member’s tees. Knox is known as the official Augusta marker, meaning he plays if an odd number of players make the cut. Knox’s best score from the pro tees is 69.
