It's become a regular occurrence to see Brooks Koepka atop the leaderboard at a major championship, and that's the case once again after Round 1 at the Masters.
After firing a 31 on the back nine to tie Bryson DeChambeau with a 6-under 66, Koepka is listed as the new 4-1 betting favorite by Bodog to win the Masters. Dustin Johnson, who sits two shots off the pace, is next at 6-1, with co-leader DeChambeau coming in at 13-2.
Jon Rahm sits at 11-1 after posting a 3-under 69 on Thursday, while Tiger Woods also holds those odds after opening with a 2-under 70. Phil Mickelson follows behind at 14-1 after blitzing the back nine at Augusta to shoot a 5-under 67.
