Former US Open champion Matt Fitzpatrick has enjoyed a strong front nine as he added a birdie on the ninth to one at the fourth to turn in two under - and crucially without a bogey on the card so far.

He's the fourth Englishman in the top 10 on the current leaderboard - and also Harris English, who of course is American, is in there too...

Back-to-back birdies for the 2012 and 2014 champion Bubba Watson claw him back to level par with five holes to go.

Going well on his 17th start at Augusta National.

Scottie Scheffler plays a stunner out of the fairway bunker on the 18th, so he'll have a great look for a closing birdie to finish off his first round.

It's been such a solid round for Tyrrell Hatton but a first chink in the armour costs him a shot at 17.

It was his second shot that caused the issue, overshooting the green and then he missed from four feet for par.

A bit of chuntering from the Englishman.

Rory McIlroy takes a five iron from the middle of the fairway after booming his drive over 340 yards on the par-five eighth hole.

It hops off the ledge to the right of the dance floor and all runs on and on, to leave an eagle putt from 20 feet.

Earlier on today, we were keeping an eye on Phil Mickelson and Keegan Bradley.

Well, they've just polished up at 18 with Mickelson bogeying his final two holes to finish at three over par.

Keegan Bradley has carded a two-over 74 and while Australian Jason Day is much more content with a bogey-free round of two-under par.

Justin Rose navigates the tough 11th hole with a solid par and he stays two in front as he heads to the 12th - still with a bogey-free clean card, so far!

Watch his birdie on 10 that was his sixth of the day...

Really disappointing finish to the round for Collin Morikawa, as he drops a shot on 18 to make it three bogeys in his closing four holes to finish on level par when he was three under after 14.

Kind of a similar story for Joaquin Niemann who was also three under early in his round before letting three shots slide away, and after the quietest round it's actually Min Woo Lee who finishes with the best reurn.

The Australian had just one bogey and two birdies but that one under round is the best of the group.

I've totally trusted Getty with that to upload a picture of Rasmus and not Nicolai, Hojgaard.

I think.

But really, can we ever be sure??

Nicolai Hojgaard had a wild day earlier.

His countdown scorecard contained:

Five bogeys, five birdies, four pars, three double bogeys and one eagle.

His twin brother Rasmus on the other hand?

Of course he started with eight stress-free pars. And now he's birdied the ninth to get into the red.

Far from an identical round. Golf, eh.

Bryson DeChambeau's short irons are pretty much all the length of a standard six iron and after missing the seventh green left, he now scoots right the way across and off it again with a bump and run.

Ouch. Bryson looks pretty puzzled by that and will need to chip in to save his par. That's not going to reach though and he'll cough up a stroke.

Hideki Matsuyama, who has largely been anonymous on the TV coverage has a birdie putt from 10 feet on the way and rattles it home.

Another tricky green for Tommy Fleetwood at six as he gifts a second shot of the round to Augusta National.

Nothing is dropping for Jon Rahm yet either as he leaves his birdie putt short and has to settle for par.

The 1992 winner Fred Couples is under par after round one and has played beautifully today.

It's also a result of this magnificent moment at the 14th earlier.

Drink it in and enjoy watching a master at work.

Just two birdies between this group after seven holes so far, with nothing much going on for former Masters champion Adam Scott and last year's double major winner Xander Schauffele.

Viktor Hovland is without a birdie as, despite his recent win, he still seems to be struggling to get the most out of his game.

A tough birdie chance down the hill at 16 for Tyrrell Hatton. He trundles it towards the hole and it scoots six feet by but that is a confident conversion to save his par.

Jordan Spieth also safely navigates a tricky hole without losing a shot.

Two to go for this group.

Good recovery from Rory McIlroy on the seventh after he comes up short with his pitch into the green.

A tricky chip from just off the fringe awaits McIlroy, who deftly clips it to two feet before saving par.

Stop that Justin Rose! This is getting ridiculous now as the Englishman fires a laser of a second shot from 185 yards out down to 11 feet and it's almost inevitable as he drains it to now lead the Masters by two.

Talk about eventful. Bryson DeChambeau misses the green with his second into the fifth, nudging his ball left and pays with a bogey, which he then cancels out on the par-three sixth.

A majestic iron into six feet from around 180-yards sets him up as he snaffles a birdie.

Spare a thought for young American Nick Dunlap.

He's making his second start at the Masters after debuting last year at just 20 years old.

He has a veritable nightmare today and has just wrapped up at 18 over par. That's more than twice as bad as anyone else has shot today.

He's carded a 90 - but that's still not the worst round in Masters history. That dubious honour belongs to Charles Kunkle who scored 95 in 1956.

A very, very tough day at the office.

Scottie Scheffler take a bow! The world number one makes another monster putt as he picks up a birdie on the 16th to move to four under.

This time it's from 42 feet after he earlier drained one from 62 feet away as the Scheffler putter, often the Achilles heel in his game, is on fire today.
