Spanish golfer Pablo Larrazabal on Twitter:, external What about Miguel Angel Jimenez shooting 66 at the 3rd round at The Masters. Thank God we have Miguel in our life.

Thanks Mike. I arrive with big news. Bubba Watson has already dropped a shot at the first. From the back of the green, he chipped past the pin and left himself a horrible putt for par, which was missed.

The 54% of you who said he won't win the Green Jacket might be on to something. Thanks for voting.

The big man is off the tee and, back here in BBC live text towers, the big man is back from his tea. Stephan Shemilt is going to take you through the next few hours or so.

The secret to Bubba Watson's success is that he now treats golf as a "bonus", external according to his close friend, Rickie Fowler. One week before winning the Masters in 2012, Watson and his partner adopted their first child, Caleb.

"I think that over the past couple years, with winning here and having Caleb, adopting him, it's definitely kind of been a progression for changing into something good for him," says Fowler.

Watson, 35, is bidding to become only the 17th man to win the famous Green Jacket more than once.

"John Senden's going to be the polar opposite of Bubba today. He'll be a lot more polished in his technique, he should be a Steady Eddie from tee to green, it's just whether he can play well on the greens."

Six-time major champion on BBC TV

"Bubba's a different animal, he's pretty interesting. It doesn't matter how he does, it's just a score. I see him on the range and ask him 'What did you hit?' It doesn't matter for him, it's about the score.

"We're all into stats now, his lag putting is the best by miles which you wouldn't think because his stroke is horrendous sometimes.

"But it's all early days, the course will play tough and scary now."

And the bundu ain't a pretty place. "A largely uninhabited wild region far from towns" a free online dictionary tells me.

Big buzz around number one tee box (as they call it in these parts) as Bubba Watson gets set to go.

The sun beats down as patrons sip beer and soda from plastic Masters mugs. Many clutch tall towers of these $3 mementoes.

"Fore please, Bubba Watson now driving". He takes the applause and his caddie steps in for a quick final word. No pink driver today, a three wood. Watson winds up. "Bubba boom" shouts someone. "Geddinthehole" another. Don't get much of that at the Masters. But Bubba's boomed it into the bundu.

Jim Furyk joins Miguel Angel Jimenez on three under with birdies on two and three. He has twice finished fourth at Augusta, but has not been in the top ten since 2003 - the year of his US Open win.

"Adam Scott has been a beautiful striker of the ball for a number of years. You learn how to hit, you learn how to play and then you learn how to make up the bits and pieces to control the head and heart. Scott is learning the third now."

Miguel Angel Jimenez will be getting his gums around one of Cuba's finest exports somewhere. And it a fully deserved cigar after the best round of the week. His 66 has taken him to three under and a share of third place.

Brandt Snedker made a solid start with two birdies in the first three holes, but he has gone backwards fast since. A quadruple bogey seven at the par-three fourth is just downright ugly and he caps it with another dropped shot at six. He is three over for the day and tournament.

Ashley Taylor:, external Kuchar is such a consistent golfer. Again he is going under the radar at the Masters. He will be there or there about.

Sam Houlison:, external Peter Alliss is glorious. Like a golfing David Attenborough

"Bubba's an unpolished player, he flies by the seat of his pants, he even refers to his own tee shots as slap shots.

"Now he's sleeping on the lead, and that's tough. But his caddie says he's hitting it unbelievably well."

Your leader, the 2012 champion and man to beat Bubba Watson is warming up around the first tee. He is about to make his entrance into the third round.

Meanwhile, up ahead, the wise old head of Fred Couples has just left a shot behind on the first green. Back to one under he goes.

"The greens are really firm and the holes have been in difficult spots, they're hard to get to. They're hard as a rock and the ball funnels away a lot.

"I felt like yesterday there were only two holes you could birdie, the two par fives. You need a healthy aggression to play well here."

Peter Alliss
BBC Sport commentator

"It been very interesting so far and the weather has been superb. The first day was magnificent until 3:30pm. Some of the players came in and said it was one of the most difficult days they have played.

"It is great to watch Bubba Watson play. He puts bat to ball and has a wonderful touch around the green. It does the world of golf good to see someone like that. We haven't seen someone like him since Lee Trevino."

The wait is over. The Masters can finally start. Peter Aliss is purring on BBC Two.

Go on, go on. You leave me here. Really, it's fine. I understand.

Canada's Mike Weir might raise an objection to all this talk of fine scoring conditions. Starting the day on one over, the 2003 champion has bogeys on three, five and seven and to add to his double at four and he is back at six over par.
