The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livgolf.com\/torque-gc\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Torque GC<\/a> star opened with a bogey on the first hole, and it got worse from there. Ortiz made a bogey or worse on each of his first five holes, including double bogeys on the second and fifth holes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After making the turn at 7 over, the Mexican settled down on the back nine. He shot 1 over on his final nine holes with two birdies and three bogeys.

The 2011 Masters champion then dropped back-to-back bogeys on the ninth and 10th holes. In the end, Schwartzel struggled to a 3-over 75 on a tough opening day at Augusta National.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah, course is tough. It&#8217;s firm,\u201d Schwartzel said. \u201cThere was a few tough pin placements. Didn&#8217;t really feel like I played that badly. You know, didn&#8217;t make enough key 12-footers. I had a few opportunities on 12-footers and missed.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CARLOS ORTIZ, TORQUE GC Score: 8-over 80\u00a0Tee times: Rd. 1, 7:50 a.m.; Rd. 2, 11:03 a.m. Round 1:&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":383854,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[85,46,105],"class_list":["post-383853","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/383853","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=383853"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/383853\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/383854"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=383853"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=383853"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=383853"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
