Westwood, Rose shoot solid opening rounds

Lee Westwood and Justin Rose have both shot rounds of two-under-par on day one of the Masters in Augusta.

Westwood got off to a disastrous start with a double bogey on the first hole, but two birdies steered him level heading into the back nine.

Three birdies in six holes then saw the Englishman move to three-under before a dropped shot on the 17th brought his opening round to an end with a 70 on the scoreboard.

Meanwhile, Rose finished the front nine on two-under thanks to three birdies and a bogey.

He managed to get himself onto three-under going into the 17th before a bogey moved him back to two-under.
