Well, a fascinating opening day at Augusta, with plenty of low scoring in favourable conditions and a few stunning performances. None more so than 21-year-old American Jordan Spieth, who continued his recent good form with an eight-under 64, just failing to match the course record by one shot.

Fowler in with a one-over 73, Garcia makes a fine save at the last for a 68. Day with a six-footer for par... nails it for a 67 and a tie for second, with England's Justin Rose, American Charley Hoffman and South Africa's Ernie Els. And that's that...

Garcia with his third at 18 and he stiffs it to within a few feet from the bunker. Tiger being interviewed on the box, he looks pretty pleased with his work today. As he should, that was a proper grafter's round of golf.

Garcia leaps out of the frying pan and into the fire, more sand for the Spaniard down the last. Fowler safely on in two. Day, like Garcia, playing from Lyle's bunker and, like Garcia, he shows just how good that shot was from Lyle back in 1988 - good enough, but over the back.

Welshman Jamie Donaldson leaves his par putt right at 18 and finishes with a two-over 74. Woods does make his par putt disappear for a 73. Much work to do tomorrow, but he's given himself a good chance of making the weekend. Jimmy Walker matches his score, quite a few good judges were tipping him this week.

Woods putting from miles out at 18 and that's a fine effort from there, he should pop in for par and a pretty decent round of 73. Some wayward play but his short game was demonically good at times.

A rousing welcome for Woods at the last, although his approach was not much cop. Garcia tugs his tee shot left at 18, Day's done the same and found sand. Not just any sand, but Lyle's Bunker.

England's Luke Donald is two over through 17, I'll let you know how he finishes up. Day's sand escape at 17 is pretty ordinary. That's a fine birdie attempt by Garcia, he'll stay -4. Dubuisson of France is in with a two-over 74, I think he made a rare birdie at the last. Day bogeys 17, he drops into a four-way tie for second and leaves Spieth three shots clear.

Masters leader Jordan Spieth talking to Sky Sports: "That was very special. The greens were softer and a little slower than they will be the rest of the week which allowed me to fire shots into the greens,. Last year I was tentative but this year I was a little more ready to fire at the pins, knowing I had receptive greens.

"The 15th is one of the easiest holes and [at eight under] I was thinking I could post a nine under round. That would have been incredible and that is what I was thinking coming down the stretch.

"I didn't do that. I had a bit of a mud ball and was a bit between clubs [for my second shot]. It was my only mistake but nice to make a birdie on 18."

Day looking for six straight birdies but he's pushed his drive at 17. The Aussie having to threadle it through the trees - he does so, but finds sand. Woods at 18 and that's a corker, fading it round the corner. Garcia safely on in two at 17, as is Fowler.

Woods for birdie at 17, a slippery eel of a putt down the slope... started left and stayed left but should make par. Playing partner Jimmy Walker walks away with a bogey, he's one over. Donaldson of Wales muffs his birdie attempt, stays one over. Woods also one over heading down the last.

Graeme McDowell, speaking to Sky Sports: "I hung in there well despite not driving the ball well. To shoot one under is a pleasing start but there's a bit of work to do tomorrow. The greens are more receptive than I've ever seen so it's difficult to adjust when in your mind you're used to them being faster. They are fast but not scary fast. There's certainly scope for them to be dried out."

Woods with his second at 17, from the middle of the fairway it might surprise you to hear. Right into the middle of the green. Garcia makes par back at 16, stays -4 and four off the lead.

Jason Day makes it five straight birdies after a magnificent tee shot at the par-three 16th, the Aussie is six under and two off the lead.

Billy Horschel is in with a 70, he's one of 30 men under par so far. Spieth has made his long-range birdie putt disappear! That's a 64 and he has the clubhouse lead, by three shots. The last man to make nine birdies in a round at Augusta was Tiger in 2011.

Garcia has got eight feet for birdie at 15, slightly left to right... misses by a whisker, he stays four under. Fowler makes a par to stay +1.

Spieth from the middle of the fairway at 18 and that's a fine approach, he's got a birdie chance for a 64. Garcia pops his third at 15 to within birdie range. Kuchar bogeys the last for a round of 72. Daybirdies 15 to get to -5...

Woods with seven iron at 16... good enough, makeable birdie attempt from there. Day's third at 15 is with a wedge and that's a peach, he could make birdie from there. Woods for a two at 16, from 25 feet... a few revolutions short, stays +1.
