A FORMER Major winner will be alongside York’s Simon Dyson in his maiden US Masters appearance tomorrow.

Dyson has been paired alongside New Zealand’s Michael Campbell, winner of the US Open championship in 2005, and American Ben Crane, whose successes have included victory in the Farmers Insurance Trophy earlier this year.

Dyson, Campbell and Crane – the latter two yet to make a Masters cut in their respective careers – will start their first round at the Augusta National course tomorrow at 10.57am American Eastern Time (3.57pm British Summer Time).

The second round involving the Malton & Norton GC star will start at 7.50am (12.50pm BST) on Friday.

World number one Tiger Woods is in the penultimate threesome with fellow American Matt Kuchar and Korea’s KJ Choi.
