Hello friends, and welcome to our live hole-by-hole coverage of the 87th edition of the Masters Tournament. There’s only one way to begin, isn’t there.
So many questions! Not enough answers! Can pre-tournament favourite Scottie Scheffler, the new Players champion, become only the fourth man to win consecutive Masters? He’ll join an elite club if he does: Jack Nicklaus, Nick Faldo, Tiger Woods. Or can Rory McIlroy, who shot 64 on Sunday last year to finish second, go one better this year and finally complete the holy grail of career grand slam? Again, exclusive club: Jack, Tiger, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Gene Sarazen (and Augusta National co-founder Bobby Jones if you factor in the career slam in its original form).
