Summary

  1. Spieth bogeys but Hatton holds firmpublished at 16:32 British Summer Time 10 April

    Spieth -1, Hatton -2, T Kim E (4)

    A fine save from Tyrrell Hatton at the fourth as he makes his par putt from eight feet.

    Not so lucky for Jordan Spieth though who is a touch heavy-handed with his long-distance putt and cannot convert coming back from 10 feet.

    He drops to one under.

  2. Double for the Danepublished at 16:30 British Summer Time 10 April

    Hojgaard +3 (13)

    It was a double bogey in the end for Nicolai Hojgaard at the famous 12th after a visit to Rae's Creek with his tee shot.

    He then plays a brave second on the 13th to reach in two before a chip leaves him five feet for birdie - but he misses the chance and stays three over.

    My head is spinning just following Hojgaard today, you can only imagine what's going on in his mind right now.

  3. Postpublished at 16:25 British Summer Time 10 April

    MacIntyre -1 (6)

    Scotland's Bob MacIntyre comes up a little short on the sixth to leave himself two uphill putts for par from around 35 feet.

    His first has a decent line but ends up around three feet shy of the cup but he's going along nicely and sinks his next for a three.

    Scheffler -2, Thomas E, Ballester +2 (4)

    Scottie Scheffler enters the party with a huge birdie putt on the fourth hole. He's around 60 feet away and this ball is really travelling when it meets the hole, but decided to take a dive in after a rattle around the cup.

    That's a huge bomb that sends a warning that the defending champ is here!

  11. Bradley back to levelpublished at 16:08 British Summer Time 10 April

    Mickelson E, Day E, Bradley E (4)

  12. Postpublished at 16:05 British Summer Time 10 April

    Spieth -1, Hatton -1, T Kim E (2)

  13. Splash!published at 16:00 British Summer Time 10 April

    Hojgaard +1 (11)

    Wouldn't it be great to see Scotland's Bob MacIntyre put together a challenge this week?

    A solid start for the 2024 Scottish Open winner - he picked up a birdie at the second and is ticking over nicely at one under through five holes.

  15. First birdie for Scottiepublished at 15:58 British Summer Time 10 April

    Scheffler -1, Thomas E, Ballester +1 (2)

    Scottie Scheffler gets his first birdie of the tournament thanks to a smart up and down from 43 yards right of the second green. Solid start from the defending champion.

  16. Niemann joins the leadpublished at 15:55 British Summer Time 10 April

    Morikawa E, Niemann -3, Lee E (4)

    A third birdie of the day for Joaquin Niemann takes him alongside Aaron Rai in the lead of the 89th Masters tournament.

    It's a laser of an iron on the par-three fourth that does the trick - leaving him nine feet for birdie that he rolls in nicely. Stellar iron play is what the Chilean is known for.

  17. Rollercoaster round for Hojgaardpublished at 15:53 British Summer Time 10 April

    Hojgaard E (10)

    Talk about a rollercoaster for Nicolai Hojgaard, who has tumbled out of the lead thanks to another bogey-double bogey run - his second of the day!

    So the Dane has started the day with a bogey and double, then hit five birdies in six holes before adding another bogey-double combination.

    All of that leaves him on level par after 10 holes - one of the most incredible level par rounds I've seen in a while.

    Bath's Laurie Canter has brought his whole family to Augusta to witness his Masters debut this week.

    The 35-year-old wants to share the moment with the people closest to him after sustaining the best golf of his life to make the world's top 50 in time for the first major of the year.

    "It is one of those pinch yourself moments," Canter told BBC Sport as he sat outside his rental home with his parents, wife Anna and their two young children inside.

    "It is such a tough tournament to get in. Getting in the top 50 in the world is difficult, especially if you're not playing full time out in America. So I'm really proud that I've managed to do that."

    Canter played the 2022 and 2023 seasons on the LIV tour, but missed a putt in the circuit's qualifying event for the 2024 season. From there he had to rebuild his career on the DP World Tour.

    Initially his exemption options appeared limited, but played well enough to keep getting starts before landing his first victory at the European Open in June last year. Victory in Bahrain in February and a runners-up finish at the South African Open put him in the top 50 and enabled him to become the first golfer who had played LIV to compete on the PGA Tour in the Players Championship at Sawgrass last month.

    Now he is trying to get to grips with the game's most glamorous tournament here in Georgia.

    Captain America Keegan Bradley makes it into the red as he tucks home a 12-footer for birdie at the third.

  20. Rai into outright leadpublished at 15:43 British Summer Time 10 April

    Aaron Rai takes the outright lead at the Masters after a wonderful approach shot on the seventh sees him stick it to five feet and roll in a third birdie of the day.

    Rai interestingly wears two gloves for playing most shots and not the more familiar one that most golfers wear - something which he says he's done since he was aged eight, adding he finds it massively uncomfortable to play with just one glove now.
