The second round of the 87th Masters kicks off with Viktor Hovland, Brooks Koepka and Jon Rahm leading the pack. Each of the co-leaders arrived at -7 in different ways, including Rahm, who was written into the record books with a bizarre historic feat. Tiger Woods will have a lot of ground to make up, finishing the first round at +2. Tiger’s own history at Augusta National should give him both hope and pause as he tries to advance in the tournament. Plus, The Rush imagines a scenario in which known sports heckler Koepka gets a taste of his own medicine this weekend.

- Did he finally hit an iron shot? All right. Yes.

[CHEERING]

Two in a row for Tiger Woods.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

JARED QUAY: After Round One at Augusta National, Tiger Woods is tied for 54th place at 2 over par.

- Not great.

JARED QUAY: I know. That doesn't sound so great for the five-time Masters champ considering it's going to be hard to make up ground once the expected storm hits and the fact that the last 17 Masters winners shot under par in the first round.

- He's toast.

JARED QUAY: Not so fast because the last person to shoot 72 or higher on day one and win the whole damn thing was Tiger Woods in 2005.

- So you're telling me there's a chance.

JARED QUAY: Tiger was paired with Viktor Hovland, who had a bogey-free first round and is tied for the lead at 7-under. Co-leader Jon Rahm got off to a rocky start with a double-bogey on his first hole but more than made up for it in. His opening round 65 was the lowest score in Masters history after opening with a double-bogey.

- Whoa.

JARED QUAY: Rounding out the trifecta of co-leaders is Brooks Koepka, who snagged eight birdies. I would pay to watch Brooks on the back 9 on Sunday make a bogey and have someone troll him like this.

- [INAUDIBLE] , you suck!

JARED QUAY: Yes, that's Brooks Koepka a few weeks ago heckling an NHL player on the Panthers for giving up a goal. If you even believe breathe too loud at a golf tournament, you may get thrown out. Yet here's Brooks going absolutely bonkers at another athlete-- the irony. Brooks was recently asked about the incident by the press in front of fellow golfer Bubba Watson.

BUBBA WATSON: What cone?

BROOKS KOEPKA: There's was a cone. There was a cone that was just outside, so--

BUBBA WATSON: Were you hydrated that night?

BROOKS KOEPKA: Yeah.

[LAUGHTER]

BUBBA WATSON: Now we're getting to it.

BROOKS KOEPKA: Absolutely.

JARED QUAY: Yeah, Bubba knows. Heckling ain't really a sober person's go-to activity. In fact, when you're sober, you probably just want to read a book. You want to go out for a nice walk and watch the sunset. But when you're drunk, you may just be shouting at somebody-- be like, hey!
