There's a little bit of early movement at the southern end of the leaderboard. Gary Woodland has birdied the first to get down to two over, while Jose Maria Olazabal has done the same to get to three over.

As ever there are plenty of stories doing the rounds on the internet regarding golf's and one of sport's most treasured events.

Ever been to Augusta? Want to work there? ESPN takes a look at some of the jobs at the Masters, external and contrary to popular rumour, there is no such job as a squirrel trapper!

Are you enjoying the first Masters since 1994 without 14-times major champion Tiger Woods? Or do you wish golf's biggest draw card was there? USA Today look at how the interest in the event in the US has been affected by the absence, external of Woods.

This is my first experience of On The Range, but I'm already loving it. English amateur Matt Fitzpatrick, who has missed the cut, is making the most of Augusta experience by having a Saturday-morning hit.

The man next to him? Tom Watson. If you're getting up early to hit some balls, there isn't really a better man to picking the brains of, is there?

Right then, our first BBC television coverage has just begun. We are On The Range on selected connected TVs and right here at the top of this page.

Par four, 445 yards

The first shot of the round will require players to hit more than 300 yards on a slight right dogleg if they are to clear a deep fairway bunker. The undulating green is crowned and difficult to hold.

Understandably, Rory McIlroy is flying around. He's already played four holes and is exactly where he began on four over after birdieing the second but bogeying the fourth. Also out on the course are Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke. Miguel Angel Jiminez and Sandy Lyle are just heading down the first.

Philip McAllister:, external Someone will come from nowhere to challenge and shoot a 65. Hopefully Donaldson or Poulter, but hopefully Bubba doesn't match it.

Watson will be in the last pair today, partnering Australian John Senden at 19:45 BST. I've also taken the liberty of selecting a few other groups that you might be interested in.

16:55: Ian Poulter, Rickie Fowler

17:15: Hunter Mahan, Justin Rose

18:05: Lee Westwood, Brandt Snedeker

18:45: Kevin Stadler, Jamie Donaldson

18:55: Stephen Gallacher, Russell Henley

19:05: Jim Furyk, Kevin Streelman

19:15: Fred Couples, Jimmy Walker

19:25: Adam Scott, Jordan Spieth

19:35: Thomas Bjorn, Jonas Blixt

"I was not really thinking about the birdies when I am out there," said 2012 champion Watson. "I am thinking about the shot at the time. Some of the fans were yelling, trying to get me mad, but I just kept my head down.

"I'm just trying to hit greens because that means your first shot has to be good as well. I scored better today, but hit the ball better yesterday which is a funny thing.

"It is easier this year than last. When you get here as defending champion it is all about you. Everybody wants to talk to you, the Champions Dinner is all about you and it distracts from what you are trying to do. This year is easier to focus on what you are trying to do."

And what about Watson, the man who produced the brilliant round of 68 to take control of the Masters?

It was solid stuff for Bubba until a bogey at the ninth, but he exploded into life at Amen Corner.

A birdie at the tricky par-three 12th was the first of five shots gained in as many holes, taking him to eight under at one point.

A poor approach and nervous putt cost him a shot on the last but, by that time, he had used the early start to his advantage and his lead did not come close to being challenged.

Speaking of McIlroy, the world number nine has birdied the second to get back to three over par.

It could have been a different weekend for the Northern Irishman, though. When he drew back his putter on the 18th, he had no idea that he would have been sent packing had his testing par putt missed.

"It was very frustrating," said the 24-year-old. "I just really couldn't get anything to go my way.

"Eleven shots back is going to be nearly impossible to make up."

Were you out last night? Did you miss what happened at Augusta? Allow me to point you in the directions of our video highlights.

From Bubba's birdies, to Mickelson's bunkers and Rory's tangle with a sprinkler. The best of the Friday action is all there.

Another huge fireball in the sky above Augusta to usher in day three of the Masters. Washington Road wakes slowly from the revelries of Friday night golf fans. The spectacular weather is set in for the weekend, with a few fair weather clouds possible this afternoon. Winds lighter than yesterday, peaking at 10mph from the south this afternoon.

Naturally you can follow of all the action right across the BBC as we begin our most comprehensive weekend Masters coverage ever.

You can feast on this entertaining and informative live text and listen to live commentary from BBC Radio 5 live from 21:00.

And, this evening, BBC television brings you a maximum of seven live streams. We will be On The Range from 16:00 BST and following selected groups from 17:30.

Then, at 19:30, we will be live from Augusta on BBC Two, which means the return of Ken on the course! Wonderful.

So Saturday looks like being all about Bubba. Can he keep and build on his three-stroke advantage on the way to a second Green Jacket? Or does he face a challenge, and from whom?

Can either of Stephen Gallacher and Jamie Donaldson (both -1) create a UK charge? And what about Rory? Why is he yet to get it right at Augusta?

Missed cut:

+5 Donald (Eng), Garcia (Spa), Mickelson (US); +6 McDowell (NI).

And that is where we shall begin. Bubba Watson peers out of his bedroom window on seven under par, three shots clear of next-door neighbour John Senden and a further one ahead of the house with "-3" on the front door - that's where Adam Scott and three others slept last night.

As for Rory, his lodgings were so far down the road that his walk to the end has already begun. The Northern Irishman is the first man out today, taking on the Augusta National alone. His morning walk has already taken in a par at the first.

Defending champion Adam Scott had to battle to stay where he was, while Rory McIlroy slipped so far back he was almost asked to leave the community by the local residents' association.

Others weren't so lucky. The likes of Phil Mickelson, Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Ernie Els and Graeme McDowell, have all been booted off Magnolia Lane and told not to come back for another year.

The 2012 champion's run of five consecutive birdies on the back nine was the equivalent of driving a tank down Magnolia Lane, building a moat around the best house and having a barbecue in the back garden.

While Bubba was storming the mansion, those that looked like strong challengers were slipping down the Lane and into a different post code.
