Tom Watson took a look at his scorecard and was very happy. Watson fired a bogey-free eight-under-par 64 – one shot off the event record - and opened a two-stroke lead after the first round of the MasterCard Championship in Hawaii.

Fred Couples made two big putts – both worth at least $300,000 (€226,400) – and was again the big winner of the Skins Game that also included Tiger Woods, Adam Scott and Annika Sorenstam.
