Who holds the Masters record for most birdies in one round?

Anthony Kim holds the Masters record for most birdies in one round, making 11 in the second round of the 2009 tournament.

Kim’s remarkable score came at Augusta National Golf Club, where he birdied 11 of the 18 holes. He finished that round with a 65, one of the standout performances of his career, and broke the previous Masters record of 10 birdies set by Nick Price in 1986.

The achievement is especially notable because Augusta National is not generally considered an easy birdie-making course. Its sloping greens, strategically placed hazards, and demanding approach shots can quickly turn a promising round into a difficult one. Kim’s 11-birdie round combined aggressive play with unusually steady execution.

The record refers to birdies in a single Masters round, not the most birdies across an entire tournament or the lowest score in one round. Kim later tied for third at the 2010 Masters, but his 2009 birdie total remains the benchmark.
