The ‘Big Three’ – Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer and Gary Player – got the 2015 Masters officially underway this morning with their ceremonial tee shots.

Nicklaus, a winner of six Masters green jackets, was heard to say before tee off: “Well, here we go”.

The Golden Bear found the fairway as did Player but Palmer duck-hooked his drive.
