Freddie Couples, one under overnight, has just followed Ian Poulter (four over) and Gary Woodland (two under) down the first tee.

It is a back-loaded day in terms of quality. Northern Irish hope Rory Mcllroy and defending champion Adam Scott are in the last and penultimate group respectively.

Bubba's bogey at the ninth came at his 27th hole - the longest run of any player this year without dropping a stroke.

Kevin Streelman is back in the stable. The American's one under round of 71 will be a decent target for the others to try and get close to. He is one under overall in 12th.

Elsewhere Francesco Molinari is in trouble after going sub-aquatic on the 12th. He bogied the 11th as well and is one over with more bills in the post.

Olympic ski gold medallist Bode Miller was refused permission to bring a quesadilla into the Augusta grounds, external on Thursday. According to the Atlanta Chronicle Miller said: "If you pay $7,500, you ought to be able to bring out a quesadilla." He needn't worry too much - check out a range of affordable options available at the on-site catering facilities.

Bubba Watson blemishes his scorecard for the first time in the tournament, dropping a shot with a bogey five on nine. That takes him to three under and out of the leading group, but like a regional nightclub come midnight it is a one-in-one-out policy.

Kevin Stadler is the man to replace him, picking up a birdie three at the fifth.

This is where the heat is hottest. The top of the leaderboard has been a busy place this morning. Bill Haas, the overnight leader, sees if he can stick about from 18:15 BST when his second round gets underway.

Marc Leishman came out of the blocks like Usain Bolt this morning with three successive birdies. It is a marathon not a sprint though and three bogeys in the next four holes have taken him back to two under overall.

Lively Englishman Ian Poulter,, external unfazed by his five-bogey 76 in the first round, is raring to go in the second round as the world number 20 seeks to climb the leaderboard when he tees off at 1731 BST.

He wrote on Twitter: Looking forward to what Friday has in store for me at the Masters. This place just keeps you on your toes. Never say never.

You can get a look at the crystal goblets that Louis Oosthuizen will be picking up at the end of today at the Masters website., external

Craig Stadler's glassware for picking up an eagle at 13 in the 1995 tournament appear to have gone up for sale in an online auction. , externalCurrent bid stands at a chunky $2,306.

Those will look lovely on the mantelpiece chez Oosthuizen. Louis strokes in an eagle putt from five feet after a pinpoint approach on 13 to earn the pair of crystal goblets that each player who goes two under for a hole in the Masters recieves.

More importantly perhaps that carries up into a share of the lead alongside Bubba Watson, Jonas Blixt, Bill Haas.

Lee Westwood's yo-yoing Masters campaign continues. He has been squabbling with the course over small change so far and he has taken a stroke back on five to move to one over par for the tournament. It is all a little trench warfare, fighting over a few inches here and there, when the Englishman needs some shock and awe golf to take the Major by the scruff.

Jonas Blixt is taking this Masters debut in a very Swedish, relaxed fashion. He pops in his second birdie of the first three holes to take a three-way share of the lead alongside Bill Haas (somewhere out on the range) and Bubba Watson (up ahead on nine).

Great example of why being able to hit a draw on demand is a huge advantage at Augusta. Watching from behind the 10th tee, Gonzalo Fernandez Castano and Sang-moon Bae both spank beautifully flighted three woods down and around the corner to the left, the ball hugging the tree line but keeping away from "McIlroy country". Up steps Derek Ernst with a driver, but he hits a double cross where instead of a draw/hook he produces a screaming fade and the ball rockets away into the trees on the right, possibly even making the 18th fairway. "Goin' on safari," chuckles a patron with a Southern drawl. A rules official is despatched quickly in case of problems. The wind is getting up, by the way, blowing straight up the course towards the clubhouse. A thin veneer of cloud is taking the venom out of the sun.

Louis Oosthuizen looks in a spot of bother after finding the sand at 12, but the South African is up and down smartly to save a par. That is one better than he managed after hitting the water on the same hole yesterday. He is one over for the day, two under overall.

Meanwhile Graham DeLaet cozies on right up the rim of the hole on 11 from way out of town. It refuses to drop and the Canadian is struggling to make the cut at eight over.

Thomas Bjorn has a lengthy putt for an eagle on 15, but that means nothing on these teflon greens. He attempt rolls by, via a Shane Warne-sized break, leaving him with too much to do for a birdie. He is one under for the day, level par overall.

They say in golf accuracy pays. Not so for Japan's Hideki Matsuyama, who led the round one driving statistics by finding every one of the 14 fairways, but was rock bottom of the putting standings, with four three-putts and an average of 2.17 stabs a hole.

At the right end of the putting stats, several past champions are sitting pretty, 2011 winner Charl Schwartzel averaging 1.33 strokes a hole, with 1987 victor Larry Mize and twice winner Jose Maria Olazabal also in the top five.

American Steve Stricker, who has famously helped Tiger Woods with his game on the greens,, external also putted well (1.44) in the first round as he seeks to land a first major.

Swede Jonas Blixt, going around the Augusta National course in anger for the first time yesterday, was leading for a good portion of the opening round. He promised he would learn from his trip around the 18 holes and looks like a decent student. He has picked up a shot at the second to move to three under overall.

Branden Grace will be rueing yesterday's performance. The South African has the lowest score of today's rounds so far, three under through 16. He is yet to cause any ripples towards the top end of the leaderboard though as he went round in a horrorshow 12-over 84 on the opening day.
