Danny Lee has made a great start to the Masters and is keeping pace with the leaders through the first round at Augusta.

Lee birdied at the 12th hole to move to 3-under par and a share of fourth place.

The Kiwi found himself in position to repeat the feat at the 13th, but saw his 13-foot putt pull up inches short.

Lee's five birdies have him three shots off the pace set by defending champion Jordan Spieth, who fired a classy round of 66.

The Kiwi is playing in his first Masters as a professional, having previously missed the cut in 2009 when he was the United States amateur champion.
