England's Aaron Rai briefly led on his Masters debut before ending the opening day in joint seventh after a two-under 70.

Playing at the Masters is a reward for Rai's success over the past couple of years.

England's Aaron Rai was made to carry his own bag from tee to green after his caddie hit the putting surface with her tee shot, while he ended up in the rough.

Two more Englishmen - Aaron Rai and Laurie Canter - are making their Masters debuts after rising through the rankings.

His Ryder Cup team-mate Tommy Fleetwood was three shots further back at five under par, alongside English compatriot Aaron Rai who increased his chances of featuring against the US at Bethpage in New York later this year with another composed round.
