Masters 2007

There was a familiar name up on the board at Augusta National as play started at the 71st Masters on Thursday

And the 77-year-old Arnold Palmer, a four-time winner here, made a decent fist of his debut as honorary starter

England's Ian Poulter teed off in the first group but struggled to a three-over 75 - by the end it didn't look too bad

Scotland's Colin Montgomerie continues his quest for a first major win but ended with a 76

Former champion Tom Watson made an early impression as he birdied the 2nd to share the early lead with Tim Clark

Kenneth Ferrie struck another blow for British brilliance in the sartorial stakes at Augusta

No mean dresser himself, Gary Player is playing in his 50th Masters and plans to come back next year

Defending champion Phil Mickelson made a disastrous start, reaching five over after seven, before a late rally for a 76

And Ernie Els, another big-hitter with a decent Augusta pedigree, also struggled with the testing conditions

Justin "English" Rose was the only man to keep a bogey off his card and fired 69 to lead with American Brett Wetterich

David Howell put a good late round together and an eagle on the 15th helped him to two under

Tiger Woods, chasing a fifth title, ended with two bogeys but his one-over 73 kept him right in the hunt

Woods's partner Paul Casey, though, found it tough and slumped to a seven-over 79

Neat and tidy American David Toms was among the last to finish and joined Howell in second on two under
