text: Going to any major sporting event these days is a pricey affair. There’s the cost of the ticket, getting to the venue and the all important souvenirs. That’s not to mention keeping fed and watered all day. But it seems patrons at the Masters can get themselves a decent meal for a reasonable price. You can get a taste of the south with a Bar-B-Que or Classic Chicken sandwich for $3 — which is about £2.05. The Masters is one few sporting events which offers food at reasonable prices for its punters . Shot of the day . Lee Westwood nearly got off to the perfect start with a stunning shot at the par-five second. After a perfect tee shot, he pinged a fairway wood 280 yards onto the green. It trickled towards the hole and looked to be heading in for an albatross, but it lipped out at the last moment. It was a high point for Westwood, though, who then made five bogeys in his next nine holes. New practice routine Padraig? Padraig Harrington has enjoyed a resurgence of form in recent months and the secret of his success could be down to his unusual practice technique. The Irishman was spotted on the driving range at Augusta with a rubber band wrapped around his knees and standing well away from the ball (1). He then takes a run-up at the ball (2), not dissimilar to that of Happy Gilmore — a character from a comedy film whose own run-up technique would see him regularly drive the ball more than 400 yards. Harrington’s might not travel quite as far, but the drill obviously helps him keep his form and balance nicely (3). Gary's still a player . At 79, and with a career grand slam behind him, you might forgive Gary Player for putting his feet up. But the South African is fit as a flea. After joining Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer as an honorary starter, he tweeted: . Time for a Texas takeover? Jordan Spieth has been the star and if the Dallas native wins from here, he would claim Texas’s 13th green jacket, more than any other US state. Same old for Sergio . After a 68 on day one, a 74 in his second round was a disappointment for Sergio Garcia. He tweeted: . Lost and found . Tiger Woods might have lost a touch of his genius in recent years, but he won’t be losing his putter any time soon — he has his name inscribed on it. And his precise practice sessions were clearly paying off as he finished with a 69, a four-shot improvement on round one. Tiger Woods has his name inscribed  on his putter and will hope it brings him  luck going into the weekend . 1.39 . Despite his best efforts, Woods could not match the white-hot putting of Jordan Spieth. The 21-year-old has averaged 1.39 putts per hole, the best in the field.
