Smylie Kaufman started the day in the final pairing with defending champion Jordan Spieth. He was hoping to become the first Masters rookie to win a green jacket since Fuzzy Zoeller took one home in 1979.
But the 24-year-old from Birmingham, Ala., never got in a groove, going 3-over par on the front nine and shooting 42 on the back to card 81.
After dropping in an 11-foot birdie putt at No. 12, Kaufman followed with bogey at the par-5 13th hole.
He double bogeyed the 16th and came home with bogeys at Nos. 17 and 18.
Kaufman fell into a tie for 29th, finishing at 7-over in his first appearance at Augusta.
