Rose races into early lead

Justin Rose, without a single top 20 finish all year, raised his game when it mattered most today, setting a superb early clubhouse target in the first round of the Masters.

The 23-year-old from Hampshire, as excited to be back playing Augusta National as he was for his debut last year, produced a five-under-par 67 to lead by two from playing partner Chris DiMarco, whose round included only the fourth hole-in-one in Masters history at the 180-yard sixth.
