After a opening round Thursday that had its share of both sun and clouds, golfers competing in the 79th annual Masters Tournament return to the Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia for Friday's second round.

With a few exceptions, golfers will head out in threesomes as they try to best the course's "par," or average, score of 72 strokes per round.

At 8:40 a.m. Eastern time Friday, 2007 Masters champion Zach Johnson will tee off with former US Open champions Jim Furyk and Ernie Els. Els is tied for second place at five under par.

Jordan Spieth leads the tournament after the first round, shooting an eight under par 64 on Thursday. Spieth will begin his second round at 9:57 a.m. Friday, along with Sweden's Henrik Stenson and Billy Horschel of the US.

Tiger Woods is at one over par and is paired with Welsh golfer Jamie Donaldson and Jimmy Walker of the US. This threesome will get started Friday at 10:30 a.m.

Charley Hoffman, tied with three others at five under par, will tee off at 10:52 a.m. Eastern time Friday. He's playing with Brian Harman as a twosome.

65-year-old former two-time Masters champ Tom Watson fired a one under par 71 on Thursday. He, along with Gary Woodland and Camilo Villegas, will tee off at 11:14 a.m. Woodland is also at one under par after the first round.

Englishman Justin Rose, who won the 2013 US Open, is also at five under par after Thursday's round. He'll tee off Friday at 12:42 p.m. with defending Masters champion Bubba Watson and defending US Amateur champ Gunn Yang of South Korea.

Sitting at one under par, defending British Open and PGA champion Rory McIlroy will start his second round at 1:48 p.m. Friday. Three-time former Masters winner Phil Mickelson, who shot a two under 70 Thursday, and Ryan Moore will join him.

Just like Thursday, you can watch live action via video stream at masters.com beginning at 10:45 a.m. Eastern Friday. Live television coverage starts at 3 p.m. on ESPN.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
