Following on from Tommy Fleetwood's group, there's more bogeys on the 16th as Xander Schauffele continues to give shots away and Bryson DeChambeau could already be playing his way out of contention as he drops yet another shot to drop to four over for the round.

Tommy Fleetwood drops a shot on the 16th the par three, after finding the bunker off the tee, even though he played a nice flop shot sending it high and landing soft, he couldn't make the par putt.

Steady stuff from Justin Rose after a flying start with back-to-back birdies earlier.

The Englishman has a decent stab at a 50-foot putt on the fifth but comes up a little short before sinking an eight-footer for par.

Jon Rahm is having one of those days.

He finds the dance floor off the tee but comes up well short and his putting woes as he comes up five feet short with his birdie attempt and then shunts his par putt right of the cup.

Meanwhile, Ludvig Aberg reads his birdie putt perfectly and drops it in from around 14 feet.

A 20-foot putt for birdie flashes just wide of the hole for Scottie Scheffler at the fourth, so he has to settle for par this time.

Robert MacIntyre and Gary Woodland both going well in this group as well.

An absolutely wild approach from Shane Lowry at 17. He looks on in disbelief as his ball whisks away to the left and clatters into one of the grandstands surrounding the green.

Even with his dead-eyed short game, he can't get up and down and he slips back to two under.

Marco Penge is making his Masters bow this year and he's had an eventful start.

He saved par on the firs after playing his second shot from in between the eighth fairway and ninth tee box

And has now had a second hole to forget after driving miles left into the pines.

The Englishman eventually locates his ball and finds the green in five but then takes three more strokes with his putter to end up with a snowman on the par-five hole.

Can McIlroy keep the birdie train going?

Yes he can! After a lovely approach into 14 that feeds down to under the cup, he confidently rolls in his putt for a second straight birdie and moves just one back of Sam Burns.

Remember: he was -4 through 14 holes in last year's opening round before double bogeys at 15 and 17 left him signing for a 72.

But he won't do that this time. No, I'm confident he won't.

Ominous from Scottie Scheffler who has a real spring in his step now. He goes three under with a confident birdie putt on the third.

The world number one then leaves himself with a chance of another at the fourth with a crisp tee shot on to green leaving himself a putt of just under 20 feet.

He has some elite names breathing down his neck but Sam Burns pars the last three holes to ensure he enters the clubhouse as the overall leader.

It's a career low Masters round for the 29-year-old American, who's best finish at Augusta to date is 29th back in 2023.

He's an established name, having featured in the past two Ryder Cups, and has a later tee off on Friday - will he still be leading at the end of day one?

So we've got everyone out on the course, have you changed your mind on who you think will win?

Plenty have chances and the big dogs look like they're in good form, so time for a vote! And remember if your pick isn't in our poll below then use the feedback form to send us your winner.

"Stop... sit' says Jon Rahm as he plays off the fifth tee. His ball is okay and stays on the fairway and he even opens up the green nicely but he's not satisfied at all and drops an expletive around how he thinks he's playing.

The Spaniard ain't happy at all but then stiffs his approach into seven feet.

There's no birdie though to lift his spirits just another look of pure frustration as he takes a par along with his playing partners.

Patrick Reed's putter can't rescue him this time as he fails to save his par and drops a shot at the 15th. A little unlucky as it's not like he hit a bad shot into the green, just perhaps the wrong shot going directly at that flag that's on the narrowest part of that kidney shaped green.

The bounce he got was a bit tough as well as it really did bound away over the back and into the drink. Tough break but you get them at Augusta sometimes.

They say you have to take care of the par fives to win at Augusta and that's what recent champions have done nicely - with the last 16 winners picking up 72% of their total winning score on the longer holes.

The last five have used the par fives to compile 83% of their winning score, while Danny Willett is the only winner in the last decade to do better on the par threes and fours than on the fives.

Scottie Scheffler knows all about this and he's started that way again today.

England's Aaron Rai booms his drive straight down the seventh fairway and now zips into around 20 feet away with his wedge.

He has made a very handy start and will have a putt to go four under and within a stroke of the lead.

A shot of intent from Scottie Scheffler as he rolls in his first eagle with an 18-foot putt at the par-five second.

The world number one looks focused.

We all remember Rory dumping his wedge shot at 13 into the creek in the final round last year, giving Justin Rose etc renewed hope in that riveting finale.

No such drama this time, though. After finding the trees down the right, McIlroy punts one back into play and sets up a birdie chance with a controlled third.

The birdie putt is a slippery one, but he rolls it in the heart!

Oh yes. He's been patient today. Now he's tied second.

Another par for Shane Lowry on 16 but he has company at three under in the shape of his playing partner as Jason Day picks up his second two of the back nine after hitting a pearler to four feet.

Day had chances to win here in 2011 and 2013. Don't be surprised if he's a factor over the weekend.

Looking at how Augusta National played last year it didn't see as touh as conditions look out there right now.

And there's a few differences between the toughest holes in 2025 and what have been the hardest overall.

Magnolia, the fifth hole, played the hardest last year and the 18th, called Holly, was the second most difficult - which makes how Justin Rose and Rory Mcilroy dealt with it in the play-off even more remarkable.
