However, the excellent Sunday opening on Augusta National's sun-drenched golf course came to a halt when Åberg made several pars. After ten holes, he was still -3 for the day and -6 overall.
The leading duo, Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland and Cameron Young of the USA, are six strokes ahead of Åberg.
Alex Norén is having the best Masters of his career. The Stockholm native had a tough start on Thursday, but then recovered and finished at -1. The 43-year-old is provisionally in 33rd place.
The competition is ongoing.
