Irish amateur Matt McClean enjoys dream start to The Masters

Matt McClean enjoyed a dream start to his Masters debut as he birdied the first hole to take him to the top of the leaderboard.

The 29-year-old optometrist, who secured his place at Augusta by winning the US Mid-Amateur Championship, hit a superb approach to the difficult par four and holed from four feet to move to one under par.

With eight players on the course at the time, McClean was the only one of them to be under par at the time.
