Joint first round leaders Trevor Immelman and Justin Rose went in opposite directions on their return to The Masters at the second day at Augusta National.

But sadly for Rose and his followers, Europe's number one last season was the one going into reverse.

While Immelman repeated his opening 68 for an eight-under-par total and one-stroke halfway lead over American Brandt Snedeker, Rose turned in 38, then slumped to a triple-bogey eight at the long 15th and dropped another shot on the next.

The eight came when he pitched into the water fronting the green, went long with his next attempt and then almost chipped back into the lake.

Rose finished with a 78 and fell into the pack on two over, but fellow Englishmen Ian Poulter and Paul Casey did pick up the gauntlet thrown down at the start of the day by Immelman.
