Do you want to know how I celebrated my 68 and leading the Masters after 18 holes for the second year in succession? A beer perhaps? No. A cup of English breakfast tea and a Krispy Kreme doughnut. It is the British in me coming out I suppose.

When I look back on my first round I am delighted with the way I bounced back. I was not overly confident to be honest as I made my way to the 1st tee. My warm-up had been scratchy and I was having trouble getting the right speed with my putter. Then on the 1st hole I hit a poor tee shot that ended in a bunker and dropped a shot. The second hole is regarded as a birdie opportunity and using my 5 wood I hit my ball into a greenside bunker and didn't get up and down. On the 4th I missed a three-footer for par.

So you can imagine how I felt on the 5th tee. Four holes gone and two over par. That was the turning point, funny as it may seem. I gave myself a talking to. "Justin" I said "you've got a lot of golf to play. Make a birdie as quickly as you can." That is the classic response to a bad hole and it is what I always try and do. I also try and concentrate on giving myself a positive thought to look forward to. No need to dwell on what has just happened. It has gone. Forget it.

I wasn't immediately successful in that I parred the 5th but then I hit a 7-iron to within five feet of the downhil 6th and holed that slippery putt and I was off and running. I holed a 15-foot putt on the 7th and reached the uphill 8th in two, which I am not often able to do. It took a 300-yard drive and then a perfectly-flighted 3-wood shot that went nearly 260 yards. It started out to the right and drew in towards the opening to the green. On the 9th I hit a 9 iron to 20 feet and holed that and there I was, out in 34, two under par.

From then on I kept telling myself to stay in the present, not to get too far ahead of myself. I felt composed on the course and I know Nick, my coach, will be pleased with that. I didn't really notice Tiger in the group ahead of me. It is difficult playing ahead of Tiger because there are constant rushes of spectators from his match trying to get into position to see him hit to a green or drive. But playing behind him was a breeze. Kate said to me later that she had been able to watch me easily because the spectators had gone by the time she reached my ball.

I have a feeling that the greater challenge for the second round is going to be killing time until I leave for the course at midday ready for my 2.03 tee-time. I found killing time was difficult in 2004 when I had a tee-time of 2.40 but a large part of last year I played late so I am learning how to handle it.

The way I do it is to do the same as I normally would but take a little longer. Do things a little slower. Have a lie-in for half-an-hour and dally over breakfast for an extra 20 minutes, that sort of thing. If there is still time to kill then watch a movie. The secret is not to mope, not to allow the mind to think about the round, to keep the mind clear. Of course it's easier said than done!
