Ross Fisher Takes Masters Lead Early On Day 1

Ross Fisher took the early lead on Day 1 at the Masters Tournament. Fisher is a name known only to dedicated golf fans at this point.

Fisher, 30, plays mainly on the European Tour and his best finish at the Masters was a tie for 30th in 2009.

Fisher is from England and began his professional career in 2006 and won his first tournament, the KLM Open, in 2007.

One of his biggest tournament highlights was a three-way playoff at the HSBC Champions in 2008 with Phil Mickelson and Lee Westwood. Fisher lost but it was a sign Fisher could hang with the big boys once he got more experience.

In July of that year, Fisher won the European Open, proving he had really grown as a player throughout the past year. That tournament featured Fisher shooting an opening round 63 and finishing seven shot ahead of Sergio Garcia.

Fisher did hold a two-shot lead in the early part of the final round of the Open Championship in 2009, but fell apart on the fifth hole, shooting a quadruple bogey eight and ended up finishing in a tie for 13th for the weekend.

Fisher now has a chance to really make a name for himself in America if he can stay on top of the leaderboard through the rest of the weekend.

Fisher is off to a good start, shooting four under through 15 holes and tied with Retief Goosen, who is four under through seven holes.
