The teeing-off of Tiger Woods at 1.42pm might be the big moment of the day at Augusta National on Thursday, but it will be at 9.40am that history is made.
That is when 16 year old Italian Matteo Manassero will become the youngest player ever to play in the Masters Tournament.
"I'm very honoured, of course," said the British amateur champion, who will make his professional debut at the BMW Italian Open next month.
Manassero, a spectacular 13th in The Open Championship last year after being paired with Tom Watson and Sergio Garcia in the first two rounds, this time has Mike Weir and Lee Westwood for company.
"One is a Masters champion, one is Race to Dubai champion - it will be really exciting and a great experience.
"I spoke with Lee Westwood in the locker room - we were watching the Arsenal game - and he said 'Hi, partner'.
"I wish to finish as high as I can and making the cut is my possibility, but I have no goals here. I just want to enjoy this beautiful experience, this beautiful place and take as much experience as I can.
"I always watched and dreamed about The Masters since I was like four years old.
"I will be nervous definitely - I hope not too much, but I will be nervous."
Manassero has shown he can cope with testing situations before - and not only on the golf course.
Last October he addressed the International Olympic Committee as part of golf's delegation before the vote on whether the sport should become part of the Games.
It will return in Rio de Janeiro in 2016 and even then Manassero, 17 on April 19, will be only 23.
He takes over as the youngest ever Masters Tournament participant from Tommy Jacobs who was 17 years two months in 1952.
He is also one of three Italians in the field. Edoardo and Francesco Molinari become the first brothers in the event since Jumbo and Joe Ozaki in 2000.
Former European Tour player Alberto Binaghi, Manassero's coach, is again acting as his caddie for the week, as he did when he won the British Amateur and performed so superbly at The Open Championship.
There are six amateurs in the 96-strong field. The others are 18 year old Koreans Byeong-hun An and Chang-won Han, respectively the US and Asian amateur champions, and Americans Brad Benjamin, Nathan Smith and Ben Martin.
That number is not a record - and not even remotely close. An amazing 26 competed in 1966.
Manassero is also one of four Europeans making their debuts in the event.
The others there are England's Chris Wood and Simon Dyson, and Francesco Molinari, although he caddied for Edoardo, US Amateur champion at the time, in 2006.
