david lingmerth, partner to danny lee. two birdies so far today david. hmm. just runs out of speed for that line. ling meth and lee currently at -- lingmerth and lee currently at 16 under par. he gets to be the arbitrator as to who's away for the next putt. and i believe he said it was patton kizzire. by just a little bit. >> i'm going to mark it. peter: kelly kraft trying to find a golf ball. in the casual water. no we found it right here. point of relief no closer to the hole and drop it. while that's going on, we're going to come back here to danny lee at 16 to see if he can convert. ooh. ooh. his partner misses on the low side. he misses on the high side. now had he not found, that it would have been a lost ball. the only way that he couldn't have had to pay the penalty for a lost ball is if there was conclusive evidence that it did go into the casual water that. means somebody in the gallery would have had to see it. he's ready to play. he doesn't think he needs a rules official. right now we're back at 16 with patton kizzire. this to g that's never a go

peter: danny lee. he's up -- tees up today. 150. nick: yeah, considering how difficult the breeze has been. especially yesterday. it's about the easiest i've ever seen the 1th hole play. bill: danny lee right on the number there. let's go to 11. here's jordan. he and ryan palmer out in 32. parred the 10th to stay at 18 under. five behind to. 10. peter: scott brown now for his birdie. there you go. boy, look at that. two 4's on the card. that's some kind of golf. they temporarily open up a three-shot lead as we go to 17. bill: they're setting the mark. here's dufner. nick: should be an easy 8 for dufner. and again thrown another dart in there. bill: in there close, chance for another birdie. as we go back over to the 11th. kevin tway with an eagle chance to get his team to 1 under. nick: not much fun when they're make birdies and you keep looking at leaderboard and you're losing ground. ok, i have a feeling now we really are playing for second or third place. bill: finished third behind kevin chapple and brooks koepka last week in sa

danny willett, his countryman and defending champion, fared far worse. few can dominate while wrestling the wind and american charley hoffman has come closer to most, but he is still being drawn back to pack. among them, sergio garcia, one of golf‘s major figures, who is without a major title. but he was hitting heights not many can reach. might he finally fill that gap on the cv? others have the references. fred couples has won here. that was 1992. and today he is 57. but this is a timeless place, right now he is a challenger. they say the best players know what a good score is on any given day. rory mcilroy did enough to stay in touch. he knows the wind is due to drop, conditions will improve and if now you're a coper, you could become a master. that's it. now on bbc one, it's time for the news where you are. hello and welcome to sportsday. i'm lizzie greenwood—hughes, the headlines tonight: willett‘s woes as the reigning masters champion looks set to miss the cut. meanwhile sergio garcia is the clubhouse leader in augusta. rodgers commits his fu

lee westwood is the leading brittain after a blustery opening round. he made five birdies in a row to come home in 70. he is 2 under par. the defending champion danny willett had a rollercoaster round, including an eagle but a double bogey and three bogeys, he is one over. the leader out in front by four is the american charlie hoffman. he hit a round of 65. outstanding really. it was tricky conditions on the course. there were truly awful conditions in shanghai where practice ahead of this weekend's chinese grand prix was also wiped out. the first session disrupted and the second never got started as the medical helicopter couldn't operate. it wasn't safe for the drivers to go out on to the track. under the circumstances, the drivers had to find alternative entertainment. lewis hamilton lending his hand. he said organisers really need to find a way to better cope when the conditions are this bad. she won't be able to defend her month after testing positive for epo. she will face sanctions if her b sample also failed. and that's all the sport for new.
