Golf Legends Start 2011 Masters........

Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer with Billy Payne


Honorary starters Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus got the 75th Masters Tournament underway at Augusta National.

Once the legendary pair - with ten Green Jackets between them - had hit tee shots down the middle the action began, with England's Ross Fisher in the first group out.

The Ryder Cup star dropped a shot at the first, but returned to level par with a birdie at the next.

None of the first nine players out at Augusta National were under par, Scot Sandy Lyle and Germany's Alex Cejka both one over after two.
