Marc Leishman is the surprising early leader at the Masters.
The 29-year-old Australian shot a 6-under 66 Thursday for a two-stroke lead over another unheralded player, England's David Lynn.
Tiger Woods is also off to a strong start in his quest for a fifth green jacket. He was three strokes off the lead at 3 under through 13 holes. Jamie Donaldson hit the shot of the day, knocking in a hole-in-one at the sixth hole.
