Any stats chaps out there know if the early front runners ever stay there? Not thinking of backing either of them, just curious. Did Tiger ever lead from the front or just loiter ready to pounce?

2 of the last 50 leaders/co-leaders have won i read somewhere last night iirc
Immelman and Weir in last 10 years. Can't be bothered looking further back than that but Tiger has never won from the front after day 1. His best start when winning is a 70
The first-round leader/co-leader has gone on to win the Masters Tournament 15 times in the previous 76 events.
According to some golf website.
And Weir was only Tied 4th after R1.

Though I suppose technically he was the leader after the first day. 
Usually an opening round of 70 or less and within 3 or 4 of the leader. Outside than and only a small chance.
After two rounds 140 or less and within two shots of lead imo.
Sorry mis-read the Weir thing - must have jumped straight to day 2 instead when flicking through

2017 In the first round the highlight was the play of Charley Hoffman, who finished the day with a score of 65 and a 7-under that earned him the top spot on the leaderboard and a four-stroke lead. On a day in which golfers had to battle incredibly high winds, Charley’s score was just the second one that finished inside the 60s (McGirt 69). In fact, he was a whole 10 shots better than the average score on the day (75). Hoff shot 65,75,72,78 for T22 along with McGirt, Day, Thomas & Mickelson.
