Augusta (US): Jordan Spieth was the early pace-setter at the 80th Masters yesterday as the 22-year-old American set off to defend the crown he won in record-matching fashion last year.

Seeking to become just the fourth player - after Jack Nicklaus, Nick Faldo and Tiger Woods - to win back-to-back titles at Augusta National, the 22-year-old Texan birdied the third, sixth and eighth to get to three-under approaching the turn.
Spieth is part of a trio of new generation favorites alongside Jason Day and Rory McIlroy who were under threat from a bunch of hardened former champions.
