Ortiz Struggles at The Masters 2026

Carlos Ortiz, making just his second start at The Masters since 2021, has endured a nightmare opening round at Augusta National. The 34-year-old Mexican golfer, who tied for fourth at last year's US Open, began with scores of 5-7-5-4-6, including three bogeys and two double bogeys.

The difficult start comes despite Ortiz's major championship pedigree, with the Mexican golfer showing flashes of brilliance in recent tournaments. Meanwhile, the tournament also marks the 30th anniversary of a significant moment involving Greg Norman, though specific details were not immediately available.
