AUGUSTA: It is early days; actually very, very early. Even then three birdies in the first three holes - named so beautifully as the Tea Olive, Pink Dogwood and Flowering Peach would count for some attention. So, it was Bryson DeChambeau, who opened birdie-birdiebirdie as the 88th Masters got off a delayed start on Thursday.
South African Erik Van Rooyen was also 3-under through nine, as the first group made the turn.
