I'm not even sure Mary Poppins would be happy with winds like this and Ryan Fox certainly isn't as a gust catches his iron into the 14th and sends it scooting through the green into the group of patrons sat behind the ropes at the back of the green.

They kindly create a path for him to play his third back up the slope but it grinds to a halt six feet short of the cup and he then misses a right-to-left slider for par.

He may or may not still believe his 2020 comment about overpowering Augusta, but Bryson DeChambeau has used the wind to his advantage on 17.

That's a commanding drive straight down the throat. 370 yards and within a stone's throw of the green.

Scottie Scheffler joking away with Rory McIlroy and Xander Schauffele as they have to wait on the tee box at 11.

I get more tense playing crazy golf with the kids than Scheffler does at the Masters, it's just ridiculous how relaxed he is.

A brief delay on the 16th green as Gary Woodland's ball goes walkies and debris comes off one of the nearby trees.

This wind is something else at the moment - and if we get too many more balls being blown away on the greens we could get a stoppage in play. One to keep an eye on.

From the trees on the right, Willett is somehow on the fairway now. Did it hit a trunk and bounce back into play? Not sure. Anyway he's in play but does not take advantage as he goes into the greenside bunker on the left.

Uh oh, what's Danny Willett up to here? He has pushed his tee-shot well right on the last and into the trees.

A rush of blood to the head, it seems.

Willett's dismayed flick of the wrists shows his annoyance. Slow and steady, Danny. That's all it needed.

Matt Fitzpatrick has been very impressive. They are his kind of conditions. He hits the ball low, he is tenacious and does not make too many mistakes and since the Players Championship, he is just playing a higher standard of golf than he has done for most of the year.

He is a US Open champion and this is US Open tough at Augusta at the moment.

Matt Fitzpatrick is methodically going about his work and looking extremely solid at the moment.

The Englishman plays left on 10th that goes steeply downhill and finds the putting surface with his second to present himself with a birdie chance from a good 25 feet or so.

The aim of the game here is just to get close and the 2022 US Open champion does that easily to record his eighth consecutive par.

The patrons have moved and they enjoy the show as Bryson DeChambeau displays exquisite touch around the green.

It's only going to be a par but after that wayward tee shot, a chip to inside a foot is darn impressive.

Scottie Scheffler matches that booming drive with a wonder wedge and sinks the putt for a serene birdie that makes a mockery of just how tricky these conditions are.

He joins Bryson DeChambeau on seven under.

Rory McIlroy has a similar chance but he misses the target with his birdie putt and you never fancied him for that one - there's a cloud hanging over him right now.

Not Scheffler though, he's chatting away smiling as he ambles off to the next tee without a care in the world.

Scottie Scheffler and his dancing feet unleash another cream cracker of a drive off the 10th tee. There's debris all over these Augusta fairways now due to the wind, organisers will not be happy.

Perhaps Bryson DeChambeau is still thinking about that unfortunate birdie putt but he's massively misjudged his tee shot on 16.

It's gone way long and left, soaring into the garden chairs of patrons behind the green

Hope everyone's OK back there.

Danny Willett finished his opening round yesterday with a flurry of birdies - the same run today would have moved him ahead of clubhouse leader Max Homa.

The increasing winds are making that difficult, though.

Instead Willett is continuing to trot out the pars, carding another on the 17th to stay on four under.

All in all, Willett will be very pleased if he signs for a level-par 72 today.

On to the last for the Englishman...

Great effort from Bryson DeChambeau as he comes inches away from a birdie on 15.

His effort from 14 feet rolls round the cup and stays out - that's two in a row - so he has to settle for par.

That's still good on a day like today.

I don't understand how they [Bryson DeChambeau's] clubs are legal. Most clubs have bulge and roll to the face so I guess the precedent has been set. I kind of want to hit the clubs, don't you?

The way Bryson DeChambeau has designed his clubs is with a sort of bulge on the face of the club.

The reason for that is that if he hits it out of the heel or toe of the club it will impart the kind of spin on the ball that will bring it back to roughly where the ball was supposed to go to if he had hit it as he'd wanted.

American contender Max Homa, speaking to Sky Sports after a one-under 71 today, on what has clicked for him at Augusta this week: "The fairway is better than the pine straw - that has been working out for me.

"I have had my struggles with the majors, but I played well at the last one at The Open, and I've found some peace within myself when I play these things.

"It has been chaotic on golf course but on the inside it has been calm. I will lean on that as to why I've figured it out a bit."

Scottie Scheffler shows some of that world number one moxie with a fine up-and-down from that canyon short of the ninth - his putting really has improved massively after switching to the mallet.

Clever course management from Bryson DeChambeau as he resists the urge to go for the green in two on the par-five 15th.

Instead he clips it into perfect lay-up territory on the left side of the fairway.

In search of another bounceback birdie to get back under par for his round.
