Two-time runner-up Justin Rose equalled his lowest round at Augusta National as Rory McIlroy suffered a nightmare finish on day one of the 89th Masters.

McIlroy ran up double bogeys on the 15th and 17th as he stumbled to a potentially ruinous 72 in his 11th attempt to claim a green jacket and complete the career grand slam.

In stark contrast, Rose had the course record of 63 in his sights after picking up his eighth birdie of the day on the 16th, but had to scramble for par on the next and bogeyed the last to card an opening seven-under-par 65.

Rory McIlroy will have to shake-off a poor finish to his opening round of the Masters as he looks to chase Justin Rose and Scottie Scheffler at Augusta National.

McIlroy was bogey-free and four-under-par heading into the 15th hole on Thursday, but made a costly double-bogey seven and then dropped further shots at the 17th to finish at even-par.

McIlroy had been in a share of second place with defending champion Scheffler, who made an ominous start, while Rose shot to the top of the leaderboard with an excellent opening round of seven-under.

After thunderstorms to start the week, the weather has brightened up in Augusta, though there is a chance of a few showers on Friday afternoon - here are the tee times for the second round and the race to make the cut:

Rory McIlroy was bogey-free and -4 as he crossed Rae’s Creek on the 15th, looking to nudge his chip close to the pin and set up a birdie chance in his pursuit of Justin Rose.

What followed was extraordinary. McIlroy was faced with a tough chip up the hill on 15th and down the slope towards the hole, and it trickled into the water.

But his double-bogey was followed by another at the 17th, leaving McIlroy seven shots off the pace after being within touching distance of the leader.

There’s still plenty of time, but it’s extraordinary that Ludvig Aberg (-4 on the back nine) ended up with the best score in McIlroy’s group. Even Akshay Bhatia (-2) finished with a lower score than McIlroy.

Leaderboard: (-7) Justin Rose (-4) Ludvig Aberg, Scottie Scheffler, Corey Conners (-3) Bryson DeChambeau, Tyrrell Hatton

Incredibly, from -4 with four holes to play, Rory McIlroy is level-par walking up the 18th.

His drive goes right and lands on the edge pine straw, requiring a hack to get to the front of the green.

McIlroy bumps it towards the hole... teasing the chip-in birdie... but it stops short. He taps in for a closing par and round of 72.

Where to begin summing that up, then?

BIRDIE-PAR-BIRDIE-BIRDIE for Bryson DeChambeau. One of the most popular players at the Masters makes his move up the leaderboard late on day one thanks to a sensational approach on the par-3 16.

He joins Scheffler on -4 with two to play.

Ah no... another fairway made for McIlroy but another approach landing long of the green. On 17, his approach tumbles down the back of the green and down the slope, which is not nice at all.

Going to be a challenge to get up and down from there. And so it proves: McIlroy was left with a horrible downhill putt for par, which trickles a few feet past the hole.

Oh my goodness... the bogey putt slips past too. McIlroy makes his second double-bogey in three holes. Four shots gone in a blink of an eye.

Bryson DeChambeau’s score has been bouncing around all day, barely making a par, but has got to -3 for the first time. He has taken full advantage of the par-5s with birdies at 13 and 15 and moves into a share of third place.

McIlroy will look to shrug off that disappointment of the double-bogey at the par-3 16th. But he turns back to his caddie in exasperation after his tee shot lands about 10 feet short of the line he wanted.

McIlroy is left with 25 feet for birdie. It’s close, but was never tracking. Two holes left and he would love to get at least one shot back.

McIlroy’s drive finds the middle of the fairway but his approach over Rae’s Creek to the par-5 15th goes long. Fortunately, it stops on the slope before falling too far away, but it does leave a tricky chip but up the hill to the downward green....

NOOOOOO MCILROY FINDS THE WATER WITH HIS CHIP! TOO HARD AND IT ROLLS ALL THE WAY DOWN!

McIlroy takes a drop. This will be his fifth shot. He bounces it onto the firm green but there’s still work to do from there... he would do well to avoid a double-bogey.

He cannot avoid the seven. Such a sudden and potentially damaging blow for McIlroy, who was looking so assured and solid until that chip on 15.

Meanwhile, Ludvig Aberg has made the most of the par-5s and three birdies in a row shoots him above McIlroy to -3.

Leaderboard: (-7) Justin Rose (-4) Scottie Scheffler, Corey Conners (-3) Ludvig Aberg, Tyrrell Hatton (-2) McIlroy
