AI Outlook... "Who Is Leading After Round 1 of the Masters?"

Matsuyama, Spieth, Thomas, Smith Tied for Lead
Scheffler and Kim Juhyung at 71, Woods Expected at 73

"Hideki Matsuyama and Jordan Spieth are tied for the lead."

AI predicted that Hideki Matsuyama would take the lead in the first round of the Masters.

This is the first-round score prediction for the 87th Masters Tournament, the "Battle of the Masters," forecasted by artificial intelligence (AI). On the 5th (local time), the Masters official website released IBM's AI-based predictions for the 88 participating players' first-round performances. Each player's expected score is broken down by hole. The accuracy rate is 70%.

The AI predicted that 2021 champion Hideki Matsuyama (Japan), along with Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas (both USA), and last year's Open Championship winner Cameron Smith (Australia), would shoot 70 strokes and share the lead.

Last year's champion and world number one Scottie Scheffler (USA) and Kim Joo-hyung, aiming to become the youngest winner in the tournament's history, are expected to shoot 71 strokes, while "Golf Emperor" Tiger Woods (USA) is predicted to shoot 73 strokes.

Korean players are expected to score 74 strokes for Im Sung-jae, 75 for Lee Kyung-hoon, and 76 for Kim Si-woo. Of course, these are only AI predictions. This year's Masters will be held on the 6th at Augusta National Golf Club (par 72, 7,545 yards) in Augusta, Georgia, USA.
