Ian Poulter struggles on day one of the Masters

Ian Poulter has laboured to an opening round of four-over-par on day one of the Masters in Augusta.

The Englishman holed five bogeys and a birdie on Thursday to give him a score of 76.

Poulter ended the front nine on two-over before a bogey on the 10th saw him drop his third shot of the afternoon.

A birdie on the 12th hinted at an improvement, but bogeys on 17 and 18 saw him complete a frustrating day on a disappointing note.
