Palmer, Player and Nicklaus get Masters underway

Arnold Palmer, Gary Player and Jack Nicklaus got the 77th Masters under way at Augusta National today, with Player again hitting a drive which the rest of the field would be more than happy with.

Player joined Nicklaus and Palmer as honorary starters for first time last year and the 77-year-old South African repeated his feat of 12 months ago, finding the right-hand side of the fairway some 250 yards from the tee.
