The Masters 2025: Justin Rose leads the way on day one at Augusta – as it happened

Justin Rose signed for a brilliant 65 to take a three-shot lead after an eventful first day at the 89th Masters

Noah Kent qualified for this year's Tournament by finishing runner-up at the US Amateur. One of five amateurs in this year's field - along with US Amateur champion Jose Luis Ballester, NCAA individual title winner Hiroshi Tai, US Mid-Am champ Evan Beck and Latin American Amateur winner Justin Hastings - he's made back-to-back birdies at 3 and 4, and like Davis Riley before him, can now always say he once led the Masters. A fast start for Wolverhampton's Aaron Rai on debut, too, with birdies at 2 and 3. Rai has yet to make a serious impression on any of the majors, but he broke his PGA Tour duck last year at the Wyndham, formerly the Greater Greensboro Open, so knows what it takes to enter the winners circle. Sandy Lyle's first victory in the USA was at the Greater Greensboro, incidentally, for anyone interested in extremely tenuous omens.
