There is a two-way tie for the lead at the 2014 Masters.

Australian Marc Leishman is one of the early starters today and he has taken advantage of the relatively benign conditions to pick up two shots in his opening four holes at Augusta National and joins overnight leader Bill Haas on 4-under par.

Bubba Watson remains on 3-under par after his first five holes today, with Adam Scott also on that mark as he prepares to tee off later this evening.

However, South African Louis Oosthuizen has slipped-back to 2-under par after making the turn on 1-over par for the day.

Darren Clarke is also among the early starters today. He is 1-over par for the day, which leaves him on 3-over for the tournament.

Later this evening, Rory McIlroy and Graeme McDowell will be hoping to further their title ambitions when they resume from 1-under and level par respectively.
