Sport NewsMasters 2011: Augusta essential - the major action from day one
By Derek Lawrenson Last updated at 12:51 AM on 8th April 2011 Still driving crowds crazy What is more impressive - Arnold Palmer, 81, hitting it 220 yards down the first fairway, with no run, or 71-year-old Jack Nicklaus belting it 250? What a way to start the Masters. ![]() Legends: Arnold Palmer (left) and Jack Nicklaus
Not the day for raring Rickie 'GoTime' tweeted 22-year-old American Rickie Fowler. Unfortunately, one playing partner was the notoriously slow, boring Aussie, Jason Day. StopTime, more like.

Ridiculous rule is reconsidered One daft rule changed - players can no longer be disqualified over transgressions that come to light using television evidence, after signing their scorecards. Only about 15 daft rules to go. ![]() Great Scot: Sandy Lyle
Who is the hot-shot Scot? Leading Scot? Not Martin Laird, who won last time out at Arnie's event, and playing in his first Masters. Try Sandy Lyle, playing in his 30th, who shot 73. Luke on a lucrative run Luke Donald is donating $5,000 for every birdie this week to the Japanese earthquake relief fund. They must have loved his birdie, eagle, birdie run from the 14th.
