Live coverage of the opening round in the first major of the season, the 64th Masters from Augusta National in Georgia, USA. The first 18 holes of this famous tournament always have their own story to tell. Twelve months ago America's Tiger Woods, who in 1997 became the youngest ever Masters champion, surprisingly took a triple bogey at the eighth, while Scotland's Colin Montgomerie produced his best ever start at Augusta with a round of 70, just one shot off the lead. Introduced by Steve Rider.
