Justin Rose recovered from a stuttering start to continue to set the pace in the 85th Masters as a high-class chasing pack took shape at Augusta National.
Rose held a four-shot lead following a brilliant 65 on a tough opening day when just two other players broke 70, but saw that wiped out after covering his first 12 holes in three over.
