McIlroy, Quiros share Masters lead

For Rory McIlroy, today's aim in the Masters is to go out and break 80.Nike shox are a series of Nike shoes.

He obviously wants to do much better than that. The fact is, though, he had a brilliant start in the British Open last summer, a 63, then shot 80 the next day and fell out of the hunt. So he planted that memory in his mind for today as he tries to follow up the brilliant 7-under par 65 that gave him a share of the first-round lead at Augusta National.

McIlroy is tied with Alvaro Quiros, an upbeat 38-year-old Spanish journeyman who is 0-for-2 lifetime in cuts made at the Masters. His previous low was 75.

Consider it the continuing education of McIlroy, 21, the same age as Tiger Woods was when he won his first Masters in 1997. “This is my ninth major. I've played in a Ryder Cup and I've had three top-threes in majors,” the young man from Northern Ireland said after his bogey-free round. “I'm still relatively inexperienced but I feel as if I'm a pretty quick learner.”

Lesson No. 1 is not to go for broke in Round 2 and not to panic.

There's still 50-whatever holes to play.More information about nike air max 97 shoes including release dates and prices. Just being patient and just realizing that you don't need to play spectacular golf for 72 holes to win.”

Plus, there is the matter of holding off holding veterans who have learned the hard lessons. For Quiros, who was in the final group, that meant not even looking at McIlroy's morning score. Noting his own history at Augusta, he said, “I can't be pretending to look at the leader board.” As for playing in the twilight, it reminded him of a late Sunday round. “Normally, I watch the situation on TV, sitting on my couch,” he said.

Last year, he saw Phil Mickelson, 40, who had an unspectacular but efficient 70 on Thursday. Quiros also has watched Woods, who on Thursday shot a solid 71, only one shot worse than his first-round scores in each of his three Masters wins.

This Masters, the venerable 75th, could feature a generation gap as well as a continental divide. There was much energy surrounding the grouping of McIlroy with former Oklahoma State golfer Rickie Fowler (22) and Jason Day (23). “They seem to like to pair the young guys together here, which is a good thing,” McIlroy said, adding that the threesome had a running conversation on “cars, boats, anything but golf.”
