  Dustin Johnson had four birdies and six bogeys to shoot +2 over par 74 in the first round of the 2011 Masters.  Johnson had back to back birdies on 13 and 14, but a short par putt miss on 16 got him back to +2. 

  "I struggled on the greens, which, that's what it's all about at the Masters - you've got to putt well," Johnson said after his round.    "I just have to go out tomorrow and play good.  By no means am I out of it, but I have to go out and shoot a good number tomorrow."
