    Woods E, Lowry E, Ogletree +1 (1*)

    Lowry's iron shot from 216 yards finds the bunker on the right. Tough to control the ball on the green from there.

    Woods, from a bit of rough, produces an absolute humdinger to about 12 feet of the hole. Birdie in sight!

    DeChambeau E, Rahm +2, Oosthuizen -1 (3*)

    Well, DeChambeau needed to go left over the pines if he was going to take that line.

    "Fore right," he cries.

    DeChambeau E, Rahm +2, Oosthuizen -1 (3*)

    Bryson DeChambeau leads the PGA Tour in average driving distance at 344.4 yards this season - world number one Dustin Johnson hits 328.8 and Rory McIlroy 325.3.

    The American says his par for Augusta should be 67 - shoot that every day this week and he'll sit nicely on 20 under par...

    And his next tee shot could be interesting. This is the par-five 13th, where DeChambeau has toyed with the idea of playing on to the 14th fairway - given there are no patrons in the way - which would give him a better approach into the green.

    It'd take a drive of around 400 yards. He's achieved that in practice at home...

  4. Bogey, bogey for Rahmpublished at 16:20 GMT 12 November 2020

    DeChambeau E, Rahm +2, Oosthuizen -1 (3*)

    Ooof! Bryson DeChambeau fizzes his birdie putt from out near the fringes right at the cup and it clips the edge before trickling out, luckily for the American it took some speed off his effort or that would've been three-putt territory.

    Louis Oosthuizen's birdie attempt also scoots wide, while Jon Rahm is in trouble here - the Spaniard splashes out of the bunker but then two putts to fall back to two over par.

    Oosthuizen and DeChambeau both tidy up for pars.

  5. Postpublished at 16:19 GMT 12 November 2020

    Woods E, Lowry E, Ogletree +1 (1*)

    OK Tiger. Unlike DeChambeau and Rahm, Woods pounds his tee shot on the 11th down the right - he seems to have got away with it. Did it strike a tree and bounce back?

    A far cleaner lie for Open champion Lowry.

    Andy Ogletree's ball hangs left and finds the deeper stuff.

  6. Mize on the marchpublished at 16:17 GMT 12 November 2020

    Mize -2 (4)

    Lucas Glover momentarily his the top of the leaderboard after finishing the fifth.

    Not a bad way to mark your 41st birthday eh. The American has just made the 495-yard par-four hole look a doddle with a sublime wedge shot into a few feet.

    Birdie all day long.

    Larry Mize is on a march though. That's three birdies on the spin for the 62-year-old who turned pro in 1980 and won his solitary major (to date) here in 1987 with THAT chip from off the 11th in a play-off.

  7. The scene a little earlier at Augusta Nationalpublished at 16:16 GMT 12 November 2020

    For those who are just getting up to speed with things, here's why we are three hours behind advertised times on everything.

    Just like playing a round in North Manchester in the winter months eh.

    I've traipsed around Heaton Park (minus the floodlights) in similar conditions. Short-sleeve weather in some parts of the UK.

  8. Postpublished at 16:15 GMT 12 November 2020

    Woods E, Lowry E, Ogletree +1 (1*)

    Lowry's downhill putt on his first green - the 10th - drifts past the hole as he fails to accurately judge the break. A tricky one for par, but he makes it.

    Woods sinks his short putt, having initially missed the green with his approach. It's a par start for him too.

    However, it's a bogey for young Ogletree. You will learn my son.

  10. Postpublished at 16:13 GMT 12 November 2020

    DeChambeau E, Rahm +1, Oosthuizen -1 (2*)

    On to the par-three 12th, the iconic Golden Bell.

    Louis Oosthuizen is comfortable on but there's an anxious moment for Bryson DeChambeau as his tee shot threatens to wriggle towards the water before safely anchoring down.

    Jon Rahm comes up a little short, could be in the sand there.

  11. Birdie for Oosthuizenpublished at 16:10 GMT 12 November 2020

    DeChambeau E, Rahm +1, Oosthuizen -1 (2*)

    Birdie for Louis! Oosthuizen is off the mark with a wonderfully played 11th.

    Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau are both fighting to save par. DeChambeau rolls his par-putt right into the heart of the cup and has done superbly well to avoid dropping a shot after finding the pines off the tee.

    No such luck for Jon Rahm, he slips to one over.

  12. Postpublished at 16:09 GMT 12 November 2020

    C.T. Pan is currently the name atop the leaderboard.

    The Taiwanese professional played a beautiful tee shot to within a few feet on 240-yard par-three fourth before dropping in a lovely eight foot putt.

    The 1987 winner Larry Mize, is also on one under after making back-to-back birdies to recover from a bogey five start on one.

    Webb Simpson and England's Paul Casey are also among a group of a dozen players on one under par.

  13. Postpublished at 16:09 GMT 12 November 2020

    Woods, Lowry, Ogletree

    Woods with a wedge in his hand - one of THE best with that club - produces a wand of a shot to within inches of the hole.

    Magic!

  14. Postpublished at 16:04 GMT 12 November 2020

    Woods, Lowry, Ogletree

    Woods has 178 yards to the 10th pin and... he's overcooked it as the ball makes its way left and down the bank at the back on the green.

    It's all over.

    Young Ogletree fares a little better while Lowry's short iron aims right but plops on the floor and spins back to within a few feet. It's downhill from here though, literally.

  15. Postpublished at 16:04 GMT 12 November 2020

    DeChambeau E, Rahm E, Oosthuizen E (1*)

    Louis Oosthuizen watches all that madness unfold around him and calmly pops his approach on to the dancefloor to give himself a shot at a first birdie of the day.

    DeChambeau paces out his yardage - around 80 of them - for a wedge into the green from up on a slight bank, and you have to give it to him - that's a very good effort from there, a slap to within six or seven feet that might help him save par.

    Now then, that's not ideal. Bryson DeChambeau is nestled behind a tree - this'll take something special. Can't power his way out of this one, instead it's a decent clip into open space that should leave a route into the flag. Remarkably, Jon Rahm's first ball has come down in the first cut and he can fizz an approach up to the righthand side of the green.

  17. Woods under waypublished at 15:59 GMT 12 November 2020

    Beautiful three wood off the 10th tee from champion Woods.

    And so it begins.

    The 2019 Open champion Shane Lowry is also safely on the light green stuff as is the US Amateur champion and debutant Andy Ogletree, 22. No nerves.

    DeChambeau E, Rahm E, Oosthuizen E (1*)

    Oooh, that's nestling beneath the pines. Jon Rahm throws his left arm up, no patrons to spot that one... he's going to hit a provisional too.

    Bryson DeChambeau reaches for the driver for the first time and whips it through the Augusta sky before shouting "nooo!' after his ball, that's followed Rahm's into the woods.

    DeChambeau will also take a provisional - this is like a hack around the local municipal with your mates.

    Louis Oosthuizen with a more subtle approach. Right on the 11th fairway.

  20. Pars all roundpublished at 15:48 GMT 12 November 2020

    That's a lovely putt from out on the fringes by Louis Oosthuizen, should be in for par. Jon Rahm is coming at it from the other flank and trickles his flat iron equally close.

    There's an opening birdie chance for Bryson DeChambeau after that superb wedge, down the slope from around five feet - but it flirts with the cup and stays up! Par it is.
