Sergio Garcia, Marc Leishman lead the way in Augusta

Sergio Garcia and Marc Leishman lead the way at the end of the first round of the Masters in Augusta with scores of six-under-par.

The Spaniard recorded six birdies and no bogeys for a final score of 66 to share the lead with the Australian.

There was mixed fortunes for world number one Tiger Woods, who ended the day on two-under-par with a score of 70 - the same points tally he managed when he won the tournament in 1997, 2000 and 2001.

Northern Irish hopeful Rory McIlroy came in on par, starting off on a positive note with three early birdies on the front nine, only to be pegged back by five bogies throughout the day.
