Day Four Golf: The Masters

Hello and welcome back to Augusta National on what is one of the great

days in any sport. Masters Sunday, a day when tailor-made excellence is

rewarded with a Green Jacket in this the 80th playing of the tournament.

So sit back, relax, we are with you live and with no distractions until

midnight and even beyond if that is what it takes as we settle down and

enjoy the magic of the Masters. Maybe! Yes, sir!

Here it is! A life changer! He has got it! Oh, while! There it

is! Yes! Oh, what a shot! Absolutely

incredible. An unbelievable shot by Mickelson!

Jordan Spieth has been in control of this tournament since day one and

his astonishing frontrunning abilities have been evident in the

last seven rounds this year and last where he has held the outright lead.

But he has led something of a charmed life in the last couple of

days. Andrew Cotter looks back. Augusta is

a place that has an effect on people and for our still young man from

Texas, it transforms him from outstanding to a near untouchables.

Defending champion Jordan Spieth began as if he had not been away, a

66 was without fault and a sign for those chasing. At this stage, a

strong challenge from Britain and from Ireland. Shane Lowry fought the

wind so well for a 68. England had three close at hand in Casey,

Poulter and Justin Rose. World number one Jason Day was in a stroke

of Jordan Spieth big -- before falling back to level par. Rory

McIlroy offered a good and bad, in the end, a 2-under 70. It was one of

the so-called big three setting the pace. Jordan Spieth, the man to

catch once more. A new day and the same conditions, windy and cool,

scoring high. McIlroy was making a move, doing as he had to, scoring

well on the back nine par fives. A ceremony for a former champion who

bought for the last time up the final hole, Tom Watson. Ian Woosnam

also took his lead. Dashes life. And amateur Bryson DeChambeau threatened

the lead before a closing seven, not part of his equation. But it was be

fleeting. Although by a slender margin as he also struggled with the

wind -- it was Jordan Spieth leading. He would lead by only one

and he would now play with McIlroy. Perhaps the scoring was too low last

year and perhaps this was Augusta's revenge. Wind blowing and balls

becoming machines of near perpetual motion so time for a steady and, and

older head. Magic from Bernhard Langer. At 58, he would finish

1-under, one better than his partner Jason Day, still in touch. Then

there was tradition to ignore from Smylie Kaufman, new boys do not

farewell at Augusta, they say. But this rookie was the only man to

break 70. It is becoming Masters custom at McIlroy will have one

costly round here but still in touch, as Spieth who had scrambled

so well to save his wayward game finally broke on the last. A

double-bogey. And those now not far behind could believe again. The

chase is on for the final day at the Masters.

It is on, all right! Jordan Spieth held a four shot lead when he

stepped onto the 17th yesterday but finished one ahead of the field.

Alabama's Smylie Kaufman closest in his Masters debut. In a tie for

third, the remarkable Bernhard Langer who still believes he can win

a third Green Jacket at 58. The superb youngster Hideki Matsuyama

who could be Japan's first ever male Masters winner. And it is a day of

30 mph winds. Ready to charge, the trio. Former runner-up Lee Westwood

only four away. And Rory McIlroy starts at five behind for a tie for

11th. Only once in Masters history has the

winner not been in the top ten at the beginning of the final round.

But the winds have abated considerably in Augusta and it has

switched around from north-westerly to north-easterly, light breezes, up

to 12 mph, a lot cooler today, 67 degrees. The forecast is 80 degrees

tomorrow, looks like we have missed that he! Play began at the 40 five

p.m.. We are waiting for full live coverage from our host broadcaster

at around about seven o'clock. In the meantime, live golf is available

on the BBC's board website and the Red Button and we will chew the fat

about what might be to day with two men who have wrestled with this

course in Augusta on a Sunday. Ollie Zinger and Ken Browne. Jordan

Spieth, he defended against Rory McIlroy, how much hope has that

slipped at the finish of that reveals today? A massive amount. He

bogeyed the 17th yesterday and double-bogey at the 18th. He is now

only one ahead. Psychologically, I am not sure that will affect him, I

think he is so strong willed and such a lot of confidence, it will

not have knocked much out of him. But he has lost what would be a

reasonable read. Let's talk numbers, what should the others be aiming for

and should Spieth slip up? I think the guys at one or 2-over feel they

have a chance. Augusta National on a Sunday offers somebody a chance to

make a charge. The holes, they are in far easier positions. The greens

still blazing fast and still terrifying out there. And with

Masters pressure, they have to be in tune with how they feel as they have

to just meant we swing with certainty, that is key. Can you

swing with certainty when the pressure is at its highest? He

certainly could, Jordan Spieth, the less two years. In his press

conference after the slip-up, he said he was going home to break

something quickly! The only thing he is used to breaking here as records.

These are his reflections on that close into his third round last

night. I thought I had putted the ball

unbelievably well today. I mean, a lot of putts from 4-8 feet and I

thought that was key. Beautifully done, right in the

middle, Spieth for now leading by two.

I certainly think down the stretch I am better prepared now than I was at

this point is Jeff. He has done it again. It is magical

stuff. -- this point last year. I struck my

irons fantastic. Magnificent. It was a tough hole 111.

-- 111. Putt down the hill for bogey. Quite

extraordinary. It was a great bounce back on 12, a great putt.

Good opportunity for Borden Dashwood Jordan Spieth. And he has got it!

Just at the right moment. This to open up a four shot lead.

That was one of the best birdies I have made here, at 15 today.

That says it all! I played a solid round. Just two bad shots at the end

of the round. I really should not have hit a driver on 17 in the

position I was in. He has pushed a couple today. It was a really tough

finish. That is right, surely? He has done badly today! After having a

four shot lead and being in a Summer position last year to now it is

anybody's game. That has just changed everything is

going into Sunday. I have to shoot a significant under par round to win

this tournament. This is Jordan Spieth this morning.

Please putts were some of the greatest we have seen and this has

been such a feature of his play here. We will review some of these,

this was at the 2nd for a birdie down the hill. Look at the pace in

the centre. Time and time again, under pressure.

He cracked his face in his driver and seems to be losing some to the

right. Let's have a look at the one at the 4th. This was for his par at

the 4th, difficult to read it, the wind is blowing, hard to keep your

balance, but perfect again. And what really impressed me was at the 6th,

over The Edge of the green, leaving himself five feet. Just look at

this. Just watch this. It allows 4.5, five inches of break in the

centre of the cup. It is amazing, I cannot tell you how difficult that

is to do, it was a beauty. He has time and time again rescued

his round with the putting. He said last night, I have to strike better

than I did yesterday, I cannot rely on my putt every round. And he has

led a charmed life, especially of the tee.

You have to rely on the putter to play well and that bills him out

anti-capitalist is on the greens. It separates him from the rest of the

pack. -- bails. Players have a neurotic obsession

with golf. He has a safe house here where they do not talk of and I am

sure the other they do not talk golf but you can't shut out what is going

on in your head. I do not know what was going on in his head last night

after what happened but it is difficult to overcome what happened

to him and the comp have -- and two compartmentalised that and move

forward today, I look forward to seeing how he deals. It is

significant his swing coach from Australia Cameron MacCormack has

flown in from Dallas. Clearly trying to get the swing issues sorted out.

Sometimes you have to bring in your coach, he was losing some to the

right and the occasional to the left. Never easy missing on both

sides, he did not have a safe shot. And he cracked his driver face on

Wednesday night so they can put new heads on but it is never the same as

your original and he is playing with that a bit. There was a turnaround

yesterday at the 7th that was a turning point for Rory and Jordan

Spieth. Can was out there 24 hours later this morning.

I put a white disc where the pin was yesterday on number seven and this

is where Rory finished. It spun back to here.

To read the greens, you look from the side and it is very clear. That

is significantly downhill. But it is so quick. I could not believe how

quick it was. So let's have another go, down the slope. A little bit of

movement. Perhaps from the right. But watch how quick it is and how

hard I have to hit this putt. Downhill, I know it is quick and you

can't believe it. They will give it the tiniest nudge and it goes and

goes and goes. That little bit of misjudgement, Rory misjudged the

pace and put himself under pressure but it was so difficult to lay it

dead. But that was the point is today when things started to go

wrong for Rory. It was the hardest hole on the

course and this was what you are talking about.

His playing partner had a four a bogey so if Spieth misses, it is a

three shot swing and eventually they both take a five, Rory misses this

and Spieth nudges it in. He frittered the stroke away and he

misjudged it. He pushed himself down and boosted the confidence of Jordan

so that was huge. Jordan Spieth said to Bryson

DeChambeau he loves putting at Augusta and you two were dead iPod

has in your day, did you get that feeling at certain courses that you

owned them on the greens? -- dead putters. Their horses for courses

and if a course that you, I played well on Bermuda grass. I do not know

why but the feel and see the line at Augusta National on greens this

facet is a real gift and he has capitalised on it once and has a

great opportunity to add to his legacy. Only one shot ahead but is

it down to Spieth to lose today? Yes, he is defending champion with a

1-shot lead but this is so difficult today and make one mistake and

somebody makes an eagle, it switches round so quickly. If he can post

5-under par, he has a great chance of winning. 3-under might win it

easily. And some players have a chance to shoot something, 66, 65

and going well back in the field. If he were to pull it off today, he

would be the fourth man in history here at Augusta to win back-to-back

and be joining three very famous names. But none of these players did

it back-to-back, wire to wire, leading from start to finish.

There is a bit of movement on the course this morning, we were waiting

to see if anybody could mount a charge. Matthew Fitzpatrick is the

youngest professional in the field and he has made the cut at the 2nd

attempt here. This was him at the long par-5 2nd. And this is a goner.

He has birdied the third, 2-under for the day, the best progress at

3-over for the tournament. Let's remind you of how things look at

this point. Jordan Spieth still to go out. He will be out in about five

minutes or so. 1-shot advantage, only four men under par. Lee

Westwood starting four back. He has had several rounds of 67 and if he

posts another, he will be in the frame. That is Matthew Fitzpatrick

moving up nicely. Jimmy Walker and Paul Casey also under par. Danny Lee

did so well in the first couple of rounds here, also under par today.

Time to remind you of the significant pairings and tee times.

Rory went out at 1:55pm attempting to make up a five shot deficit, in

the company of Daniel Berger. He will be out shortly. 7:15 p.m., the

all England to well of Danny Willett and Lee Westwood, how productive

might that be? -- all England J well. What a double act this is

world number one Jason Day and world number number macro Dustin Johnson.

And intriguing stories, fetching two time Masters champion Bernhard

Langer and Hideki Matsuyama. Some 40 five p.m., the final pairing. For

the third year in a row, the leader Jordan Spieth goes out, he did it in

his debut in 2014, and Smylie Kaufman in his first ever Masters.

What of Rory McIlroy? The challenge against Jordan Spieth let -- left

him feeling bruised last night. How will McRoy cope with this? --

McIlroy. Just so much on it. He would have the land that is ten

yards over the green for that to work. What a difficult shot he has

left itself now. Only three shots back and it could be two in a

moment. He has got a chance. That is it now, I thought it had enough pace

to hold its line. A tight left. That has gone right under the skirt. Here

we are, still an enormous tree in front of it. He has seen worse at

this hole. He has to do something to find a par here. He has got to be

careful to chase the green, he has got to be careful.

That was always a risk. Even if he had hit that perfectly, going at the

flag. I do not know if I would have played that myself. As soon as he

hit it, he said, no, no, no. His round is drifting away.

Yes, I could not get anything going really. Another difficult today, the

scores reflect that, it feels more like a US Open and a Masters.

Disappointed. I felt like I righted the ship on the back nine, I gave

myself opportunities that I could not take. But I guess if I can take

heart from anything, Jordan has let a lot of people in with his finish.

I need to get off to a fast start tomorrow. The wind is not going to

be quite as strong, that is the forecast. If I can get off to a fast

start, stranger things have happened! I need to play a lot

better than it later today. You know how easy it is to let a

lead slip here. Yes, of course. It is difficult to play with a lead on

this golf course. The condition of this golf course, the way it is, the

breeze. It is tough to be in front because you play on a defensive the

entire time and there is not, you can't take on many flags and you

leave yourself with light putts the entire day, it is a bit of a grind.

But hopefully the conditions being a bit better tomorrow, we can attack

more and take on more flags. Make some birdies and see what happens.

He is about to get under way. His playing partner today is Daniel

Berger, the PGA Rookie of the Year on the American Tour last year. Rory

knows what it takes to post a low closing round here, he had a 66 here

last year. Yesterday, he went the 17th eight shots behind, but feeling

a lot better after that slip-up from Jordan Spieth. Still, is of hope

from five back. He has to improve when yesterday significantly. --,

is. Yes, he has made a couple of mentor errors, the second shot at

the 11th was misjudged and he had no luck on the greens. The 1st hole is

always problematic for him and he has made a lot of bogeys, it is

critical to get to a good start on number one. And he got a first-hand

look at children speak yesterday and he knows he is not pushing it, he

got a two weight miss -- at Jordan Spieth. He is on top and it is

impressive but Rory understands he is not clicking on all cylinders and

it is an opportunity for him if he does slip up to make a move but he

has to play a great round. Almost a bogey free round the challenge. The

key areas he has to improve today would be what? Really? He has to

drive the ball great today to get himself in position to play a key

second shot and the key at Augusta is always on the greens. That is

where I feel like, I felt like putting was the measure of your

heart. It was, could I hit these putts with the same confidence each

time? Rory showed yesterday he was not that comfortable on the greens,

he came up short, but Jordan Spieth felt great, you could tell, he

hardly had a 2-putt because he was -- them in. There was a different

mindset between the way they felt. Rory and Danny Willett is and Lee

Westwood trying to forge a path back to 1996 when we had a winner from

our shores and it is 20 years since that final round between Nick Faldo

and Greg Norman in which Sir Nick Faldo eventually won a third Green

Jacket. Earlier, I reflected with Nick Faldo on those events two

decades ago. That round was the best mentor state

I was ever in my career. I said to myself, I want to win and stand out

and look out over Augusta and all you see is trees.

That is the way champions do it! I genuinely felt for him, what can I

say? I do not know what to say. We embraced and I wished him well. With

the media! I want to win the Masters, I did not

win the Masters, Nick Faldo won the Masters. I screwed up, I know I

screwed up today but it is not the end of the world for me, it really

is not. I was emotion out there and there was emotion between Nick and

myself on the 18th Green. I am disappointed and sad about it, I am

going to regret it, it would be a day I know I let slip away. I would

not like to see a player do what I did either under the circumstances.

Not everything is going to be perfect in your life.

Amazing to think it is 20 years ago that fateful Sunday. Six shot lead,

he had, going into that final round. Did you really give yourself a

chance, what chance is, I gave myself a chance because we come back

to the Masters every year and we know the history of this great

tournament. You have seen men coming from more than three shots back with

nine to play, you have seen men crumbling with a three shot lead

with three to go. So I knew it was possible and that was my goal, to

get within three after nine. That was really the game plan.

Unfortunately for me, Greg takes five at the 1st. And then I hit a

great shot down the sixth. That was huge, a lovely 6-iron to that back

right location, looking at from the top of the hill and I made two. That

was a serious boost. I am playing great and hitting my irons great and

I kept going, a fortunate putt on the eighth and it unfolded at nine,

ten and 11. He makes a mistake and it spins off the green. At the 9th.

And it was a two shot gap. Did you sense the wheels coming off and how

did it manifest itself? I sensed it on the second tee, we played

together on Saturday and he gripped the driver about ten times and I

thought, that was different. It was a tie at 12, and we had the Match

Play, he was going first. I made a know the 7-iron, 15 feet, that was

what I was trying to do, but Greg changed his mind halfway down which

is not ideal in your golf swing. He came up short, I walked to the 13th

with a two shot lead and I said to myself, it would word! It is mine to

lose now! And in the water again. Four shot lead. You imagine the

emotion of that, you are watching and paying attention. And I was not

as confident as 1991 1992. I came into the week and my swing was not

great, tee shots in practice, everybody was talking about how fast

my transition was and I had to slow it down. So for me, it was mentally

one of the best rounds I played in my life because I stood on top of

the hill and I said, the wheels are coming off, what are you going to

do? I am going to do this and try this, whatever. You mentioned that

2-iron to the 13th and like so many others, we have so many great

memories of that, was that the key shot? It was amazing, I had a lovely

little five wood and on every practice round, I got funny to tell

me, where is the usual 15 to the middle? She would say she would say,

here. So I had rehearsed all week and I had not used it all week. And

sure enough, we came to the 13th and I got two 15 yards. I took out the

five wood and it is difficult to describe the slope, it is a

downslope and the ball is above your feet. And with the old play being

fat -- flat as a pancake, I put this down and... I had enough of that and

I went back to my bag and I would say, I am all right. Just start

again. I said, I have just belted a 2-iron and I hit one of the sweetest

2-irons in my life. When you got the 18th, it was an amazing walk up the

18th. I remember watching and not knowing what to feel. A lot of

people were in the same position. You gave him a hug at the end and

you exchanged words and you said, good look, mate. There was a lot

going on. He said afterwards he truly respected you and he saw you

in a different light, was that a curious bond between you? The only

way I can describe it was that I have won and lost Majors and I do

not carry scars from my losses. I had a four shot lead in Murrayfield

and I blew it and I got that back, so that was fine. I have lost the US

Open play-off but I do not carry any scars and I know if I had a six shot

lead in a Major and I had blown it, it would score me for life. That is

all I felt, a genuinely thought, all right, I felt for him. I said, they

do not know what to say, mate, I am just going to give you a hug. That

was it. It was clear to me and people at home 20 years ago, it does

not seem like it, thank you. A pleasure, thank you. And we well

remember that. And we recorded that with Sir Nick Faldo early in the

week, he is working for our American colleagues this week. And they will

be offering a full broadcast of this final round in about five, ten

minutes. That was an amazing final day 20

years ago. To keep your composure and your concentration to shoot that

67 was extraordinary? It was. He was ready when normal stumbled and he

grabbed the lead. That is another set of circumstances. The guys

trailing today have to realise that if something happens near the top

and they have got something going, they have to be ready mentally to

deal with the burden of being out in front. I think Nick Faldo was

prepared for that as well as anybody could ever be. When Greg Norman

stumbled and he got the lead, Nick Faldo went to another place. That

shot he hit on 13, remarkable. The way Greg Norman handled it was sold

at -- was so special. He took all of the blows from the press. He got

6000, 7000 e-mails and letters just to say how well he handled it. He

handled it so well. He fronted up all right. That shows us anything is

possible on the final day here at Augusta. Rory McIlroy has got to

think that because he has teed off. This was the opening blow.

This will be a nervous tee shot. He knows he has a chance today. It is

right in the bunker. The tree is in his way. A disappointing end to his

round last night. Failed to get a birdie at the last and worrying

times at the start of this final round. The world number three is off

and running. Nobody making an impact on the opening page of that

leaderboard. Jordan Spieth and Smylie Kaufman will be off at about

quarter to eight your time. I wonder what will happen in the intervening

period. It is time we talked contenders because of the name that

-- names that are starting to move on that leaderboard. Matthew

Fitpatrick for the tournament. Of those in the chasing pack, who would

you expect might put a run together today? There is nobody up there that

would surprise me if they made a run. Smylie Kaufman will be the one

who will experience something new, something he has never experienced

before on the first tee. The way he feels is going to be something he

has never felt before. He will have to go to the School of hard knocks,

or he will have to win all of the mental battles. He will -- he may

come out on top. You have Danny Willett, the great English hope,

Darren Clarke body was the best new European player... Lee Westwood as

an opportunity. He has to be ready. There is a group of guys. Dustin

Johnson, how excruciating would the walk beaver Dustin Johnson. Canny

compartmentalise what happened to him at the US Open macro? -- can he.

It is amazing what you can accomplish when you do not care who

gets the credit. That is what Jordan Spieth reminds me of when he says

we. There is one young man up there, Hideki Matsuyama. If he were to pull

this off for Japan, it would be an absolutely monstrous story. Japan

has always been very keen on the Gulf. It is most of the most popular

sport there is. It would be so big. He would be a multi-,

multi-millionaire. He would be the first male golfer to win a major

championship. Brilliant for Asian golf. It would give it a big boost.

It is always doing well. A Japanese player winning the Masters, it does

not get any better. No Japanese man has won a major. They did win a

senior major. There is so much riding on it for Japan. What about

one for the old boys? How about Bernhard Langer? Canny win a third

green jacket? -- can he win.

He is 58 years old, trying to become the oldest major history -- winner

in history by some ten years. The facets of his game, he gave up

something like between 40 and 60 yards off the tee to Jason Day every

single hole and still outscored him. He was 60 yards short of just --

Dustin Johnson's driving distance lead. I do not know how you give

that up but still beat a guy. He is a different duck. He is still

flexible, he still works out. Monty said the other day he has won 90

tying -- 99 times and he prepares as if he has never won once. This was a

highlight yesterday. He lives his life, he plays the game of golf. He

has a moral authority in the way he thinks and the way he lives his

life. There is great peace and comfort in that. He is fully capable

of winning today. I know when push comes to shove, he knows deep down

inside he knows how to do it. He has said a 50 plus -year-old golfer will

win a major. It could be him. As the champions tour extended the

longevity of the older players? -- has. There is no doubt about it. I

have got a few stories about Bernard. We have played a few times

together. He was the first to get a fitness plan on the European tour.

-- van. He loves to get his hand in the cookie jar. It drives him on.

His determination, his discipline, his control. He has never hit a

single shot without trying 100%. He knows exactly what to do. He was the

first player to have a 63 wedge in Europe. He has pushed the

boundaries. He has still got the long putter. You can tell when the

putts, his upper hand, if you watch it, it moves. It moves. It is not

stuck there. It is not always what you accomplish that matters,

sometimes it is what you overcome. Bernhard Langer has overcome massive

yips during his career. It is a mind melt when that happens. By the way,

Ernie Els finished 16th in putting after the first couple of rounds,

which I found remarkable. You would figure he would finish last! Langer

has hobbies, too. He loves to snow ski. He loves to fish. He has got a

great family. He still has this fortitude and desire to compete. The

longevity is, I think, something that he will be noted in the end.

There are a lot of people willing him on today in same way that people

were willing Tom Watson on at Turnberry and he came so close to

winning the Open. Plenty of golf at there. We can show you some shots

that have been happening. This is for illegal for Henrik Larsson. He

will not challenge this year. In it goes. There are a few out there. Ian

Poulter felt some of the pins were accessible and we could see some

good numbers. We will be seeing a lot more of a gentleman here.

Bryson has made an amazing first go at the Masters. He went toe to toe

with Jordan Spieth the first couple of days. He was went into the

weekend in the final group. You really like this fellow? I do. I

want to say out loud what I really think. He is on the right

trajectory. What I want to say is he might already be the best player in

the world. But he has got to prove that. I do not know of anybody who

has ever come out more secure in what he is -- what he is trying to

do. Here is Matthew Fitzpatrick. We have seen him already. I watched him

hit several balls on the driving range today. He has made an

absolutely stunning start on the European Tour. Ten top tens. He is

for real. There is the real deal. Jordan Spieth going for back-to-back

wins at Augusta. Just preparing himself. We have heard about

Bernhard Langer. On the 30th anniversary of Augusta's oldest

winner, Jack Nicklaus at the age of 46, will we get another veterinary

writing the history books? This is how it looks. The right up-to-date

leaderboard. Jordan preparing for his 45 tee off time. Langer out with

Hideki Matsuyama. Jason Day and Johnson may do a -- will go out

together. Will and Westwood is a very good pairing for the two

arrangement. -- Danny Willett. Matthew Fitzpatrick continues to go

well. The first couple of days he was last in the putting statistics.

He obviously found something. Maybe he hasn't! You spoke too soon. He

could not have left himself and easier putt. Beyond the flag today

is very fast. He is coming to terms with the Greens. They are so fast

you can get handcuffed on them. You feel and urgency. You get locked up.

There is a feeling that you just want to two putt. Not from that

range. It can lock you down if you are not comfortable. Some four

footers, you are lagging them in. If you bash them in, you can go six

feet past. That is a cracking start. It is indeed. Matthew going well.

This is at the second. He decided at the start of the wiki was going to

hit three wood here. He has gone for a driver. The wind will be a little

bit down for him. I do not know if he can fly the bunker. He is playing

a draw from the left hand of the tee. He is going to let it rip.

Great golfers swing as hard as they want. Sometimes when you are singing

-- swinging great, you want to swing as hard as you can. He missed by a

yard of carrying that bunker. Brandt Snedeker. He has challenged here on

a couple of occasions. He loves this place. He won at pebble Beach

earlier this season. Once again he is challenging. Snedeker can get red

hot on the greens, as we know. This was a earlier. This was the other

amateur. Yes! Putting together the best round of the day, so far. This

is his birdie putt at the 18th, the young man from France. Great to see

him here. He is the British amateur champion. It has been good to see

this young man give a very positive account of himself. There is the

competition between the two of them. It looks as though Bryson to shamble

is going to take that one. There is a lot that can happen. Your thoughts

on the way the course has played this week? It has been a shock to

the system for a lot of the players who have known benign conditions.

This has changed some of their perceptions of how this can play?

That is right. I got here early and the players were saying it was going

to be really hard to shoot at the Greens. They mowed the Greens a

couple of years ago when the grass was facing the putting servers. Now

the grass is facing the fairway down towards the players. Two's B and

three is a crowd. When you start factoring in the elements and the

wind, that will krypton -- cripple a good player. Today the holes are

causing great spots. I really look for some fantastic golf and some

real excitement. 30 years ago, we have already celebrated one

anniversary, but 30 years ago there was plenty of excitement. It was

when the Golden Bear came out of his golfing hibernation to win a record

sixth green jacket in 1986. 86 was a tournament that I did not expect to

win. The players were not scared of me any more. They did not expect me

to win. Yes, sir! I made the putt, I turned around and

I was looking for my son. He had a smile on his face. And I wanted to

hug him. Dad turns to me, eye to lie. He is not looking at anybody

else. He gave me a great smile and a hub that I will always remember. You

then take all of the wins you want, that was more special than any of

them. It has been hard to escape this week

because US television has been running documentaries on it all

week. Your perspective on that and how much of a surprise the victory

was? He was still a marvellous player. Seve Ballesteros gave him a

little help on the 18th. But when Jack realised he had a chance, he

knew how to take it. It was a very special masters. He had then and

non-believable player. The greatest golfer that ever lived. -- he had

been an unbelievable player. He knew exactly what he needed to do. When

to take a chance, went to lay back. He knew what to do. He had done it

before and he knew what to do. When the opportunity presented itself,

Jack knew how to react. Great players are self-aware. He knows

himself. Jordan will have that advantage today. He will no more

than the guys that have not won the green jacket that are trailing stop

with that thinking, that strategic thinking, do you see echoes of Jack

Nicholas in Jordan Spieth? Yes, I think so. Strategically, Jordan

Spieth, it is like that wave coming off the water. That is him. The

other day I walked in the caddy area, his caddie was on the porch

with Ben Crenshaw's caddie, they were going over the book. How they

are going to play the course. Jordan is doing all the right things. He is

smart. It will be fascinating to see how Smylie Kaufman coaxing his

company. This is a massive day for this young man. Here he is warming

up on the reins. Tea-time about half an hour away. -- tee time. These two

have played against each other quite a lot in junior golf. He says there

are about 1000 winds to Jordan, known to him. He is two years older

than Jordan. Does he have the making of a champion? Yes, I think he does.

He won in Las Vegas this year. If you can win at the highest level,

you can win anywhere. There are some things will happen to him today. A

good layup angle. The pin tucked behind the right bunker. He needs to

make some birdies. If you are just marginally out here, it is a killer.

Smile -- Smylie Kaufman is going to have to be conscious of his walking

pace. You can control your heartbeat with your breathing. Snedeker has

mixed a bunch of small putts this week. -- missed. He is hitting it

well enough to stay on the leaderboard. Your heart can beat so

hard, you can feel your pulse in your fingertips. How do you control

that? That is what Smylie Kaufman will feel today. Emiliano Grillo.

That is an interesting card. Level for the day. Pretty eventful. The

front nine will be key to start with. You have got to turn in one

under if you can. The back nine will offer something. Oosthuizen. What a

player he is. He has been on super form recently. The wind is blowing

in about ten to 15 mph. It is not insignificant. Shane Lowry going in

with his second shot. That shot they make it look easy. It is so

difficult. So many champions seem to be able to pull that shot off. Shane

Lowry looks like he belongs. This fellow has never looked like he

doesn't belong. Davis Love. That has just found the sand. So nice to see

Larry Mize and Davis and Bernard Langer flying the flag for the older

players. Three champions tour players made the cut this week. Adam

Scott. Steve Williams on the bag. He is at the 12th. The

par fives on the back nine offer some opportunity. You can play them

in six, six, or three, three. That is right the first hole is downwind

now. Patrick Reed, at one point he considered himself a top five

player. He is certainly cracking the top ten. He is world number ten at

the moment. He was such a force in the Ryder Cup at Gleneagles. He was

brash. He thought I was brash! This guy is brash. I like Patrick Reed's

style. He is fearless. What a lovely golf swing he has. The world number

one, Jason Day, onto the tee. So much expectation of him. He is

trying to become a back-to-back major winner as well. He won the US

PGA title last year. He is out with Dustin Johnson. There will be a lot

of expectation on this particular pairing. The big hitters. It will be

like a home run hitting contest. But in the end it will come down to

touch for both. Lee Westwood with his second shot at the first. It is

really important for him to get off to a good start. He is another guy,

I feel for him. Obviously he is getting towards the end of his

career now. It could be an excruciating thing mentally for a

morally good embrace it and have this great calm and shoot a great

score. Playing with Danny Willett. A nice pairing. They have been

neighbours and buddies for a long time. Danny has been very under

control this week. He is capable of getting in the mix. He will not be

frightened. He is confident in his ability. He has been great on the

greens. That is a great sign for his future. OK, we have got Danny with

that birdie putt. A quick check on the leaderboard.

Our American colleagues are ready and so are we. Good afternoon to

Andrew Cotter and Peter Aliss. Thank you, Hazel. Are we in for a

brilliant afternoon, or waylaid and a damp squib? The next four hours

will give the story. Here is Bubba Watson. We have seen so many putts

like that all week. A good round for Bubba Watson today. Not too bad

compared to the rest of the tournament. He came in with high

hopes. A lot of people thought he might well be the champion. We

talked about a blemish free round for McIlroy. Already a bogey at the

first. Here he has to get up and down for par. He thought it was

going to go back a little bit. It is already untidy for McIlroy. Henrik

Stenson was many people's favoured three days ago. Putting nicely,

playing nicely today. -- favourite. Look at that. Eagle, birdie, birdie,

but a six on 11. On the putting green going through a few final

tinkerings. He is not anchoring. Look at that left hand. It is not

touching his chest, so technically not anchoring. Not 1 million miles

away thou! It is not stuck on his chest. Westwood at the first. Nice

drive, good second. Just did not have a bounce forward. Struggling

now. These greens are as difficult as I have ever seen them. The

seventh, the 11th hour very fast. McIlroy taps one down. He has got

it. That is a five, five start. Not what he wanted. He was looking for a

burst on the opening few holes. So far it has not happened. Danny

Willett. Randall and hop Kirke. -- hop Kirke. Playing alongside Lee

Westwood today. A missed putt on the first hole for

Danny Willett. Back to the first, Jason Day. He has only had 14 on

this opening hole. Just a little moment. Meditation. Do not nod off.

That is right. Now then. The bunker has been

extended on the right, they have lengthened the tee. This is a

formidable hole. It is very important to get off to a good

start. That will be OK. A choice of three wood for Jason Day. Dustin

Johnson now driving. Dustin Johnson also going with a three wood, I

think. So Johnson and Jason Day are off and

running. Good opening tee shots. Rory McIlroy at the third. And

already cries of anguish. He is all right. I do not know why there was a

cry of anguish. He is not far off the green. I think there was a

helpful bounce of somebody. That was Westwood for par. Just the start you

do not want. TheS are so fast, you almost feel as if there is no

friction between the ball and the service. -- the greens. Fitzpatrick

is going along nicely. Missed a four footer on the last for a birdie.

That was never on line. A safe four. That was a par five. He, Justin Rose

and Lee Westwood Warren top of the greens and regulations. -- were on

top. Davis Love on the 12th. 152 today. Right-hand pin position. A

good tee shot. The greens looked a little bit slower today, I thought

but still running fairly briskly. Adam Scott, another favourite before

the event began. Here he is on the 13th.

He is in the woods. It might kick down. We were talking about the

speed of the greens and Ken has been examining such a topic.

Out early this morning they put this roll over the greens. They are

pretty quick. They look quick. Let's see how quick they are. They are

always fast at the Masters. On Sunday, normally quicker than ever.

Let's have a go. She is on her way. That is quick. They are so fast this

morning. They are rock-hard as well. Still rolling. It just keeps going.

My goodness, they are swift. I do not know if that is the realms

of common sense! Technically, that is not allowed. Do not try that at

home. Bryson DeChambeau, in red, white and blue. He sometimes favours

that. Trying to use the contours here. Hasn't he done well? Talking

about players coming from behind and people suggest it can happen at the

Masters, it does not happen that often at the Masters. Only three in

the last 25 years have been outside the top two. The chat goes on

between Jason Day... His caddy is also his coach.

Well, it is tried its best to stop. Not a bad result. Playing partner,

Dustin Johnson. Settle down. Just looking to find

the right level of the green, both he and Day failing to do so. There

has only been one Masters champion not inside the top ten after three

rounds. That was in 1959. Came from tied 13. Dustin Johnson has come

close. Leading going into the final round of the US Open in 2010. It

went wrong in the final round, 82. Going well in Whistling Straits, he

touched the sand and have that penalty. Close last year in the

Majors as well. Amateur, Bryson DeChambeau. He thought he was on the

move before he hit that but he got it in. Out in 35, one birdie, all

pars. And the Frenchman, the British amateur champion, that five round of

68. The walk of the leader, a long way, the practice ground, from the

first tee. A walk to the body, a skip to the clubhouse and a walk to

all that lies before you on the other side of the club house.

Youngest two times champions. And Jordan Spieth would win that title,

he is still just 22. Jack Nicolas, 25, Tiger Woods, 25, Seve

Ballesteros, 26 and Horton Smith 27 when he won his second. Remarkable

achievement if it were to happen for Jordan Spieth. Only his third

Masters appearance. Second on his debut and he won it last year,

leading again. Everybody was talking about his coach being back in town,

he never does that, Cameron McCormac is always a way somewhere else at

the weekend but he has summoned him back to work on things this morning.

You wonder whether there is too much conversation and thought. But if it

makes them feel confident and happy, it is fine. McIlroy. After that

great drive, is not able... He was, this is his tee shot, I did not

think it would reach the green. If this goes in, it will change things.

Oh! Well, that is quite remarkable! We saw his tee shot going down the

right, I did not think it had come all away round. I knew he had

reached. It will be a birdie, Soren Kjeldsen at the 2nd. Good position

to be, putting up the slope. A bit wide for the Dane. That is a par,

par start for Soren Kjeldsen. The man of the moment, Bernhard.

Bernhard Langer, quite a remarkable man. A very fine skier.

Bernhard Langer! Well, he can hardly get to the hilt.

And he has just found the light rough, that will be all right.

Playing alongside Hideki Matsuyama. McIlroy for his birdie on the third.

With his driver, he is really going for things today. A very short par

four, birdie, he did not have won yesterday but one on the third here.

-- one. Back to the first, Hideki Matsuyama. A very good-looking

player. He was getting a little bit agitated towards the end of his

round yesterday. You will notice when he completes the shot, the

balance is not quite right. But watch how he finishes this tee shot.

A slow rhythm back and right through.

That was good. Posing for photographers. And he does look

good, Peter. The wind has dropped. Three word of the first tee and if

there is a slip from Jordan Spieth, Hideki Matsuyama might be the man to

take advantage and the excitement in Japan would be huge at the prospect

of Matsuyama winning the Masters. Paul Casey at the 7th.

It is another one of the holes they have lengthened over the years. That

could be good. This needs a little momentum to take it down and keep it

going. And it has got it. Well done. A fine result for Paul Casey.

1-under for his round and that would get him back to 2-under for the

tournament. Danny Willett, unable to get on the green in two at the

par-5. Just beyond the flag is good because it will go round. Go on, say

the crowd! It just needs a little bit more. A friendly pin position,

not much green but it feeds down if he can get it on the surface, a

birdie putt two, four Danny Willett. -- the Danny Willett. Dustin

Johnson, for a birdie at the 1st. , back, little sheep! Jason Day was

studying fat because he has a similar putt. -- that. That was

three or four feet off-line. I would be surprised if this does not start

down the left. Look at where he is aiming. Almost

halfway between the hole and the edge of the green. Just tickles it

down. Is it going to turn? Well, it really did not want to but a better

effort than Dustin Johnson's. I think they were both a little bit

confused by that, playing alongside Danny Willett, Lee Westwood up ahead

on the second. Just a little bit closer than the shot of Danny

Willett. Just! Just! Johnson for his par at the 1st hole.

Yes, he has got it in! One hole is ticked off.

Henrik Stenson on the final hole. In, she goes! Henrik Stenson with

that front nine of 34, a couple of birdies. A bogey on the eighth,

birdie on the ninth and double-bogey on the 11th, but a good finish for

Henrik Stenson, very tidy round. Casey at the 7th. This, to get a

birdie. And he has done it, well done! That is a 2-over.

At the top, you can see the top four names to get under way, still. Paul

Casey sneaking onto the first page of the leaderboard, 2-under for his

round. Back to 2-over for the tournament. Lowest round of the day

is from the French amateur Romain Langasque. Rory McIlroy with that

birdie on the third, back at where he started on two thirds macro

alongside Lee Westwood. And here is McIlroy at the 4th. He and Jordan

Spieth hit their shot into the left of the grandstand yesterday and he

decided to go the other way. That could be out of bounds. 40 yards

off-line. He really is in the doldrums. That is rather pathetic

and sad. There will have to be a lot of rethinking here, Andrew. The out

of bounds is very close to that bike right edge, but he bounded out

there. Really going at the flag today. What a start from McIlroy.

While, 170. A bit unfortunate. In that very first cut, no control. He

does not generate the same clubhead speed as the big hitters, a tricky

shot. On the key, and pitched on the downside as well. The best looking

for the first also far. The result. He struggles. Spieth making his way

to the first. Make way, make way! A little hug from his parents always

to see him on his way. Oh, it has gone back down the hill,

that has left a horrid shot. Lee Westwood on the second.

Just coming around a little bit from the left. Just a little bit. More

than that. Dropped a shot at the 1st. No birdie

at the 2nd. Just inside the top ten. A gift. Chris Wood. From Bristol.

Third shot to the par-5. Eighth hole. The pin on the front. Can it?

It might, it is, it is trying. No. White seems to be the favourite

colour here. It almost looks like a painter and decorator golf rioting!

Ready to go and Jason Day studying this tee shot. -- golf outing. The

same shot that Louis Oosthuizen had when he got an albatross. He tried

to feed it in between those two bunkers. It was the all around to

the hole, that is the plan. -- it will go all around. Trying to go

straight at it, to the right, landing in the crowd. That really is

30 yards! For class players, that really is a wild shot! I don't know

what on Earth he was trained to do. -- trying. We flatter them so much,

we expect them to use rifles. They are not using rifles. They brought

the starting time forward five and it is. Seeing as they were 40

minutes over yesterday. -- five minutes. Here we go.

Jordan Spieth! Anxious. Is it a bunker? No, he is

all right. And a three wood. A man playing alongside him, who would bet

on Smylie Kaufman being in the last group?

Smylie Kaufman! Still a youngster, two years older than Jordan Spieth

and getting better every round, 73, 72, 69. Winning on his debut in 1979

Fuzzy Zoeller. They are getting younger and

younger! A good swing, this boy. A good boy. Good left arm.

Anxious. Some applause. He has got away with that, between the bunker

and the trouble on the right, so not too bad. A big drive. Danny Willett,

his birdie attempt on the second. No. No pace at all, no conviction on

that from Danny Willett. So, par. Back to the first, Langer.

He has left himself an awful lot to do. And it has not stopped yet. No,

it has. That is a pity. A good-looking second. Soren Kjeldsen,

nobody is really making a move yet on the first and second. This is

fast. But it is true as well. Soren Kjeldsen, he moves to level par.

Three behind. We have seen some putts on the second green from long

range. Now Langer. This would be sweet if he could get this in. Oh,

he did not hit it. So an opening five which he really did not

deserve. Shot dropped. We saw Matsuyama pacing around as well. A

bit of something left for his par. This was his pitch. He is a long way

below the green, it does not quite look like it. Langer landing a

little bit on the downside. Hoping for it to come back. What? It did

not come back! Jason Day, after that wild second to the par-5. Not on the

green yet. So Danny Willett pitched to the third.

Is that going to feed all the way around? No, pretty much the putt

that Soren Kjeldsen just got. Matsuyama.

Even with a gentle wind at the 1st, it is still proving to be a very

hard hole. Now McIlroy, he hit a provisional, but he found his first

ball was knocked out of bounds and he pitched to hear, this four par.

-- is for a par. Spieth. Eyeing up his second shot to

the 1st hole. You can just see the top of the flag to the right-hand

side of the bunker, just in front of that tallest pine. For the ring

away. -- fluttering away. Quite a big hump right in front of the hole.

Has he hit the green on the right? No he has not. He wanted it to go to

the right, trying his best, but it stuck. Lee Westwood, his second to

this short par four. Tucked down on the left. The green falls down

towards the flag. That is very good. McIlroy. At the 4th. Another shot

dropped. One birdie. Two bogeys. Smylie Kaufman, a good, clean

stance, despite that wayward tee shot. It is a long way up there. He

is able to get this to stop coming in with this club. Wonder. From

Smylie Kaufman! Daunted? Not a bit. A little puff of the cheeks. Chris

Wood, to the ninth. Spin it. No, he just went forward.

That is the look of the draw. Dustin Johnson, for his four on the second.

A similar putt to the one of Danny Willett and he also leaves it out to

the right. He does saunter around, Dustin

Johnson. He just strolls and occasionally pauses to hit a shot.

In for a five but disappointing for a man of his distance. Solid start,

a couple of pars. Johnson could get to the third. This was Day, just off

the green. He ends up with a par-5 also.

Now, this was McIlroy, the invisible man. Out of a hedge at the back of

the fourth. We thought he had gone out of bounds, it was very close,

just in bounds, pitched out. The crowd loved it. But he could not

escape with a par. Brief moments of gravity. -- gravity. Paul Casey at

the 8th. Two good shots. This is a test. Difficult shot. Very tricky.

That is Jordan Spieth out in front, but a very strong working start from

Smylie Kaufman with a very short birdie putt. Soren Kjeldsen with his

birdie on the first. Level par. Hideki Matsuyama dropping a shot at

the 1st. Paul Casey has just birdied the seventh. What now for Spieth?

The chance of a tree. -- three. Heading left. Still a bit to do

there. Back to Spieth at the 1st. That was a bit tentative. Three feet

short. He might soon have company at the

top of the leaderboard. Lee Westwood at the 3rd. The ball in behind. Can

he find his three? Smylie Kaufman. This for a birdie.

Cracking start if this goes in. It was always left, wasn't it? It is

left. It just caught the edge. It spins out. Disappointment,

disappointment. Again, this is the distance which is

right on the edge of his, shall I looked at the hole or not when I am

hitting the ball? From about four feet and then three feet. And then

he will look at the hole. While he is making his stroke.

Not happy. He does tend to back off quite a bit until he is entirely

satisfied. This for a par. He did look at the hole and in it went and

Jordan Spieth starts with a par-4. Almost like a birdie, Andrew. After

the trials and tribulations we have seen at this opening hole. This for

a part, I think it is a little bit longer than the first. -- a par.

Danny Willett for his par. That is a good-looking stroke. Danny Willett

three pars to start and that is making ground, he is in a tie for

third. Paul Casey. At the 8th. Three British players in the top ten

in the Westwood, Paul Casey and Danny Willett, and here is an

Irishman, in Shane Lowry. The 16th, familiar pin position. Get it up to

about their hands feed down. They like it, he does! Shane Lowry! A

hole-in-one at the 16th! Raise those arms in celebration. Shane Lowry

joins the list of people who have hit a hole-in-one at the Masters.

What a moment, Peter. Oh! Is a great shot, good fortune, just got the

right spin. In in one. That smart and your score up! A nice easy swing

off the tee. Familiar looking swing. The middle of the green, this is

going. It will hit the ridge and then start to go down. You wonder

whether it has enough power to reach. It keeps going and then it's

a dead cert. Look at that. A beauty. A real beauty. You get a nice bit of

crystal for any eagle here at Augusta. Hideki Matsuyama. Is he

going to try and use the contours? That's unfortunate. He wanted that

to hop up and feed all the way down. The second tee, Jordan Spieth. Two

pars and one birdie. A bit of a blind tee shot. You knock it down

over the hill. Good bound down the hill. Good shot.

Quite a long way down there with a 3-wood as well. Dustin Johnson is

having a cut at the 3rd green. He likes it. It should just kick down

from the right-hand side. We saw McIlroy getting there. Going to take

out Lee Westwood! Too much club from Dustin. Not a great place to be,

though, there. The 4th hole. Kjeldsen comes out of the bunker.

What a fantastic shot. Beautiful shot. Smylie Kaufman on the second

tee. Watch this T-shirt and then you will hear from Ken Brown and Paul

Azinger. COMMENTATOR: Smylie Kaufman got a

good taste of reality of what it's like being in the big leagues is an

hole number one. Second shot of Jason Day's, at the

3rd. Started with two pars. This is as high a tariff shot as you will

get. Slender bit of green and it looks like he will be going down to

the right side. The flag is on, five yards to the front of the green and

six behind it. It's already louder out here, Ken. The holes were cut in

a little more generous spots today to add to the excitement of the

final round of the Masters. It's one of these shots where you have to

decide, are you going to take this Tigerish pin all play it a bit

deeper? It's one of the places at Augusta you want to try and avoid at

all costs, but now that he's here... Good sound. Yes, that's a pretty

good shot. See how far right he had to aim. That's only about eight

yards wide on the narrowest part. If you come up short, it rolls 50 yards

down the hill. At eight, Bernhard Langer feathering his third into the

second, a delightful shot. Always been a marvellous wedge player,

judges distances so well. He has that for a birdie. Chris Wood. Look

at this one. Look where he is aiming. It looks like he's playing

for the bunker. Down the ninth. It's just unbelievable. Very nice. Super

touch. McIlroy, just in the pine straw.

Watch his feet here, make sure he doesn't slip. Difficult second shot.

Well, maybe a little bit of a slip on the right foot. Yeah, and he's...

Extremely deep bunker there. The 4th hole is playing 228 yards

today to an awfully tricky pin. Beauty, the wind helping. The MH370

must be 102 yards. Good shot for Danny

Lee Westwood will try to follow will it -- follow Danny Willett's ball to

the right. Will it carry? Always got a big smile on his face but he has

got something to smile about here. Tremendous ovation as he wanders up

the 16th to plug his ball out of the cup.

CHUCKLES He's going to put that one in the

trophy cabinet. Chris Wood here to clear up on nine. Good two putt.

Wonderful touch. Unfortunate, that, at the 3rd, taking seven.

Matsuyama for eagle here at two. Two over on his round. Bogeyed the 1st

hole. No. After a massive tee shot, Dustin

Johnson has played an absolute gem. Keeps trickling on, marvellous,

marvellous shot. So delicate. Not an overly difficult shot here

for the players at this level. He made that look pretty easy, but look

at it go. Just that extra foot or two.

Jason Day, from a long way away here. Blazing fast down the hill.

Has he done it? APPLAUSE

That is a dam good putt. Matsuyama, for his nice and neat

tidy birdie at the 2nd. Move back to where he started. Beautiful look at

the 2nd hole, the second shot of Jordan Spieth. Going with a long

iron. It's going to just roll on. It will feed to the right. Will it

reach? Yes! That's going to be right about where Matsuyama parted from a

short time ago. There are a good shot. From here it doesn't that like

he can get to that. A huge swing from left to right. Well, I don't

think he can hole this by the flag but there is a little tee he could

run this up and it might come back. Go on, it should do. Go on, run out

a little. But outstanding. Very nearly back into the cup.

Rory, now. Getting to the point of being critical for him to hole

those. You think that's not fast. Whoa! Still going. Well, I get the

feeling Rory is going to have to run the tables from here on out.

Billy Horschel's third shot at eight. I had a feeling he was going

to do something special! There have been some cheers today at Augusta,

after three days of almost silenced because of the wind. A lot of action

today. That is a really classy bit of play.

He could have been goaded into going for the pin. He played to the right

and played two sensible putts. It's a bit like playing snooker,

sometimes you have to play a defensive shot. Danny Willett hit a

marvellous shot to get on this green in regulation. The 4th hole playing

228 yards today. Look at all the break he's got to play with, to try

to feed this down. That's not a gimme.

Rory. He's done it. He made life difficult for himself. Three bogeys

on the card and just the one birdie, at the 3rd. Smylie Kaufman drove it

into the fairway bunker here at two. There are a lot of place to -- ways

to play this. You can go right at it. It's going right. Great shot.

That will be right up the hill, almost straight. Good opportunity

for Smiley here as in the two. This is what faces the players, the cut

over the right-hand bunker. You can just about see it. A four iron. That

is a Mile High. We will see if Dustin Johnson can

follow up that missed putt with a good shot. Sure he had a lot of

conversation with himself between the green and this tee box. Going to

be sensible here. He's liking it. Is it going to make

the carry? Is a little unlucky, Paul. What a shot.

Take a lot of risks there with not much reward. Now look where he is

aiming, Paul Casey. Good grief, a 90 degrees angle away from the whole,

it looks like. 15 footer parts that travel 40 feet. Surely not! Well, I

don't know how you can judge it a whole lot better than that! That is

one of those that you only get here. The short sixth. Cracking looking

hole. Oh! Rory has missed the shelf. The pin is on this sort of upturned

ruck on the back corner of the green, playing 188 yards today.

Now, if you look at it from here, you wouldn't think he had any chance

to get this close. You see where he is looking, way up to the left on

the right-hand side of the screen. Everybody in the field knows that

the hole will be cut there at one point during the week and they

practised this putt, actually. APPLAUSE

That is well done. Yesterday Rory had a hard time lagging is any putts

close enough to gimme range. He was grinding everything yesterday. The

wind swirling. Matsuyama has one of his wedges in hand and he is giving

it the big, high Spinney one. Six on from the front and then five

behind. You have got this little hollow, very treacherous, thin bit

of parting surface. Oh yes, well done! Smylie Kaufman

makes birdie here at the 2nd and is currently tied for the lead with

Jordan Spieth, if only for a moment. You can't see the slope that Rory is

going to come up very easily here, but this hole is cut probably eight

feet higher than where he is putting from. So hard to judge. He has done

very well, hasn't he? Nicely judged. Day one, he holed virtually

everything you looked at. Day two, he missed a few chances. Day three

yesterday, he scrambled his way around. Now he is looking at one

from this sort of range. APPLAUSE

. Some player, this kid. Only 22 years

old. Two major Championships already. I guess all his mistakes

seem like learning experiences or something, for Jordan Spieth.

Amazing, amazing young man. Birdies coming up short. Once you get on

this hole, if you can come back short quickly... Got a hogs back in

the centre of it as well. He has got to do the tightrope here

and he has fallen off the right side of it. A sweeping putt. Very nicely

judged. If you are a little bit out of launch, that could have finished

six to eight feet away no trouble at all. Kjeldsen, up the hill at the

5th. Goes through his routine. Right

edge, just inside right. Excellent. Excellent. Two putt. All pars to

start with the Jason Day. Here's a fast one, Matsuyama. This is

probably 25 on the Stimpmeter. Bright future here. I love this golf

swing of Matsuyama. Always in control.

I think this is a good decision for Jordan, hitting an iron here. He has

gone with a driver on each of the first three days but with the pin on

the left-hand side of the screen, it's virtually impossible to get it

close. He has targeted a bit. Oh! It's perfect!

-- he has tugged it. A bit easier putt than Jason Day's, Dustin

Johnson. Heating up the top of the tee. -- he can go up the top of the

tee. I like this decision for Smylie.

Even though it's not match he's just going to match Jordan Spieth on the

fairway. Into the straw. That just adds to the difficulty. Danny

Willett is far enough away from this big, steep bank to just about...

It's one of those ones where you have to take a risk. Second to the

fifth, do you carry it to the front? Very good shot. This two level

green, there is like a sort of tongue that sticks out into the

tier. I watched Fitzpatrick warm up this morning and he hit a lot of

shots cross handed. I'm not sure I know what that's all about, Ken. I

think it's one of Pete Coward's drills. I have seen Danny Willett do

that a bit as well. It's the early stages of the final round of the

80th masters. This is how it all looks. Jordan Spieth leads by one

from Smylie Kaufman. Great start from Soren Kjeldsen. Let's take

another look at the 3rd shot of Billy Horschel. And inviting pin

placement here. What a shock! It's just so thrilling to see that

happen, especially here. Cherished moments, as you plod along through

your career there are plenty of moments to cherish, Ken, I suppose,

as we look back and reflect. This golf course is steeped in history.

It was designed by Bobby Jones, who won the Grand Slam in 1930 and

McKenzie, who was born in Leeds. They got together because they liked

the same types of courses. The course was built in 1932. Wonderful

picture of Bobby Jones, here he is, the great man. Playing up the eighth

fairway as it was created in 1932. It was finished in May and it was

seeded and they were playing on it in August. This is how it looks

today. Not very different really, apart from the trees have got a bit

longer. In the early days the bunker was in the middle of the fairway and

now it is down the right side. There is how it looks. He was testing to

see how far his 3-wood would go up the fairway and where the landing

area was. It was an American and an Englishman who designed the course,

Jones and McKenzie. This is what it looks like today, not dissimilar.

COMMENTATOR: Bernhard Langer for birdie here at the 3rd. That is too

bad! Still just goes that extra few inches here to make the next one, a

knee knocker as well. Just tiptoed over the back of the third green,

Lee Westwood, going with a putter. Through the valley and uphill a

little bit. This is a nightmare start for

Bernhard, bogey, par, double bogey. That is about as cross as he ever

gets. Up the terrace here for Danny

Willett. Looking a bit brown in patches, the green. Part of it has

dried out a bit. Lovely service. Up the hill and then down the other

side. -- lovely surface. He is very still on his putts. Trying its best

to run out. Gorgeous touch, so easy to chase that three and a half feet

by. Very nice, Danny. Five holes, five pars. American Ryder Cup

captain, Davis love. I wonder why we're watching this, I wonder if

this is something special. 7-iron. 16 fold today playing 181 yards. Pin

placement over here on the left. Watch this! Come on! He's got it!

Davis! Ho ho ho! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

An amazing atmosphere down there. It echoes among the trees when the

crowds cheer down there. Jordan Spieth, he's gone right at it! Will

it stay? Oh my goodness, that is just two or three inches from going

30 or 40 yards down the hill! Man! Matsuyama, who can hit massive,

high, towering irons. He is at the 4th, 228 yards. A 5-iron, he will

give it a wallop. He may hit it as high as anyone in the game today,

Matsuyama. As Ken noted earlier, there is a backstop there and now

Smylie Kaufman from the pine straw. He almost had to go right at this,

Ken. It is an extremely dangerous shot. Rory McIlroy's second at

seven. If he gets it right, this will gather to the hole side. Bound

to come back. It's just drifted the wrong way. Every little helps. Two

delightful approaches there. This is eight dangerous shot here. Always

watch their feet in the straw, see if they can keep their footing. Will

it be the right distance? No, down there where Dustin Johnson was

earlier. Actually come a worse. Going to have to land it two or

three or four hops into the fringe grass before it gets on the green.

Horrible place to end up. Soren Kjeldsen, a little chip up the bank

on the six'. He usually tells me a little story

about dumbing Peter has said and giggles away to himself, Soren

Kjeldsen acrobatic space! Let's have another look at Davis's shot here at

16. This really could be a sign of

things to come for this afternoon, for these players! They know the

ball feeds down that hill. The lady in the pink in the background, I

think she enjoyed it more than he did! What a moment. He's had plenty

of great moments. To add to the list, the

-- the one at 16, on Sunday at the Masters.

The cheers ringing round the golf course.

Just automatic. Very nice, Soren. Perfect start. Diminutive man, but

makes absolutely the most of his game. Let's see what Paul Casey can

do here on ten. Well, carry on. Not bad. Not his

best, but not bad. He has a chance to save par from there. Rory for his

birdie at the 7th and he desperately needs one, and he's done it. Bah

five to come. Certainly within range for him with a couple of big biffs.

He needs a magical spell. The highly touted Danny Willett, at the 6th.

Straight down the hill. 188 yards and the hole is positioned on the

right flat. Time tiny little landing area. Though that stay there? It

has. Great opportunity for Danny Willett. The 10th, Paul Casey. Up

the slope, a little from the right. Out in 34, two under. He needs it.

That is such a nice little boost going into Amen Corner. Now, Smylie

Kaufman. This is a dangerous shot as well, here. That's very likely to be

the result, to come up short. Five feet by the hole, it can trickle all

the way down the green and 30 yards down the other side.

Jason Day has found some problems off the tee. Probably found the

bunker off the tee. Horrible bounce. Moved it to feet too far. Just

carried the top of it and off it scoots. Matsuyama's position here on

four. He surely has to use the mound behind the hole here to have any

chance of getting this close. He just loves this lie. OK. That should

come all the way back. That might have enough pace to reach, but what?

Oh no! This is Lee Westwood, tee-shot on

the way at six. Currently six shots behind Jordan

Spieth. He will need that birdie. Now, Dustin Johnson, up the slope.

He has come up to this little buttress of a green that sticks out

towards the front. Up it comes. Or does it? Not enough. Stay there,

Dustin. He will be gutted about that, as a player. There is that

little over buttressed that sticks up that is a little timid,

Paul. We didn't see much of that yesterday. He was wondering that the

first time. You can't take a shot off here at Augusta National or pay

a heavy price. That sounded heavy. Again! Yes, exactly.

You wouldn't think... You wouldn't think a player at this level could

miscue that much with a wedge, but it will scare you to death, I tell

you. My goodness. Smylie Kaufman. Look how fast this

is. Some of that is inexperienced, plain and simple. You just can't

know it's that fast until you've been here a couple of times. Shane

Lowry looking to finish things off after that special moment he had at

the 16th. Shane Lowry, 75. Damage done yesterday.

We're finished, let's go home. This is a huge putt for Smylie. Beautiful

speed, beautiful effort. Back to 2-under par. Jordan Spieth faced

with a little knee knocker here at the 3rd. First, Danny Willett.

Lovely tee-shot, just hung on to the edge of that table top and takes

advantage. Two, for Danny Willett. Moves to 1-under par, three behind

Jordan Spieth. Five pars, one birdie. Great stuff. All pars so far

here for Jason Day. Quite the achievement if he could make par

now. Looks like the first bogey of the round. Quite a view players are

just struggling a bit, treading water, trying to keep pace with this

man. Let's see how he manages this one. Superb. Absolutely in the

middle of the hole. He did not look at the hole there, either. Can you

imagine arguably the best player in the world, ranked number two in the

world, can't even look at his ball on those three footers. Still with

an opportunity here, Matt Fitzpatrick.

Started so brightly with birdies on the second and third, but just

falling back a bit. Lee Westwood with a real opportunity here for

birdie. He will put this right on top for Danny Willett. Yes! He knew

it! Now only 1-over and five shots off Jordan Spieth's lead. Both these

players are positioned nicely. Three or four holes ahead of the leaders

with the ability to post a score. Jamie Donaldson playing with Matt

Fitzpatrick. Birdie, but the Welshman. Well, the Macclesfield

Welshman. In it goes. A few more putts going in now and more noise

around the course which is good to see, a sign of what might happen

later in the round. The greens of course always so difficult we sent

Ken out to have a look. Aren't these bunkers are fantastic

at this golf course. Huge expanse of sand. This is the one on the right

and it covers the area from 275-320. It is the way the sand, the white

sand and Deluxe Erie and green grass, they're so impressive, like a

big jigsaw piece. I've got my bones out as someone describe them last

year. When they built this cause there were only 22 bunkers. Let's

have a look, this is number eight. These are the holes all laid out in

order and there is that fairway bunker. There is no fairway bunker

on nine. 12 is a short hole, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17. The next fairway bunkers

are on the 18th. Off the tee, Augusta particularly on the back

nine has got virtually no fairway bunkers. From number eight to number

18, there's none of them. A look at the 8th hole that Jordan

Spieth will be coming to. A monster par-3 at the 4th. 228 yards and the

pin just over that right-hand bunker.

Oh my goodness. He missed a few shots dangerously to the right

yesterday. Here yesterday he missed it to the left. His coach flew in

this morning to have a look at Jordan Spieth this afternoon, it is

first real miscue of the day. Dustin Johnson trying to salvage something

at the 5th, to drop just one. That's not finished.

An opportunity for Smiley Kaufmann now. -- Smylie Kaufman. He has

hoisted that way up in the air. That's going to be difficult, that's

all you can say about it. McIlroy on the par-5 8th. Managed to

stay at the bunker off the tee this time. Lovely shot. We'll come around

a little bit closer as well. McIlroy with an eagle chants. Paul Casey

after a fantastic birdie on ten. This is a dangerous pin placement on

the left side of the green. Super shot. Shane Lowry has given us

plenty of smiles over the last few days, the opening round of 68 and

hole-in-one at 16. I'm sure he's got a big grin on that face.

Wonderful moment for you 116, talk us through it. It was one of those

where there are about 180 yards downwind, nothing gone right for me

all day. It was perfect. I haven't seen it back yet. It was one of

those things I'll remember for the rest of my life. I had a look at it

coming down the sixth. It's perfect for a hole-in-one. It seriously is.

Good reaction as well. I look very happy there. The 16th player to have

a hole-in-one on 16. That's good, I'll have that picture. I'll get it

framed and have it in my house. There's the girl who try to give me

a high five and I missed her. It was good fun. Fit of an up-and-down week

for me, I put myself right in there with two rounds to go and nothing

went right for me at the weekend, a few bad decisions and breaks here

and there. But you know, couple of weeks off now. A good moment, enjoy

it at least, well done. With his short game he'll be back

and doing well at Augusta again. Paul Casey for his three on the

11th. Look at it go. Soren Kjeldsen at seven. Trying to

play it off the backstop. It stop for a moment. Go on! Every little

bit helps. Good shot. He's happy with it. He should be.

For the hole, Jordan Spieth, horrible hole today, not one single

birdie on this par-3. A parachute shot, lovely shot, it's going to run

on. But it was beautifully played. He's given himself a chance with his

putting. You wouldn't bet against him. Just about as well as he could

do. Casey now, back up the hill. Yeah,

confidently holed by Paul Casey. That's the good four there at 11. A

good round he's got going, two birdies, no dropped shots, Lee

Westwood. Of the back of that birdie on the

sixth. Will this go back? Don't pause there. There's life in it yet.

Keep going. Gathering pace. There we are, got there in the end. Thank you

for your efforts. Good birdie chance to come for Westwood. Danny Willett,

shorter shot than Westwood. Lofted club. He'll go right at this flag.

Oh no, that's not what you want. Stopped in the sprinkler head. That

was cruel. Yes, Davis. His last two holes are

not unpleasant. He looks pleased. The greens seem to

be getting faster and faster as the day goes on. This is one of those

putts that you really have to get the speed right. He'll lay this out

way to the left of the hole and try to have the ball literally stop and

then feed sideways down the hill towards the hole.

A good 50 feet away. He's not going to get there. That ball funnelled

towards Jordan Spieth little bit. McIlroy. Chants for eagle. -- a

chance for eagle. That was just about the last chance for McIlroy.

You need something to really get him going and attack the back nine. Time

running out. Could have been a free shot swing if that had gone in and

Jordan missed this. Four shots back now, Spieth for par. Wouldn't this

be something? What a putt. He continues to amaze. What a player.

So good on the greens. Maybe the most difficult greens in the world

to putt well on. But scrambling stats, 17 out of 24 times he's got

up and down of the green in various situations. That's remarkable.

Around here it's astonishing. He is relentless. McIlroy to tap in for

his birdie. It is four. Birdie. He moves two over. Four holes apart, it

could been a much bigger swing to McIlroy, but I think he's probably

just going to come up a little bit short. Smylie Kaufman. In that

moment, on a couple of holes, you saw Spieth holing his par putt,

Smylie Kaufman missing his McIlroy failing to make eagle. That is

white. He leads by three from Kjeldsen, Willett and Kaufman.

Dustin Johnson down the hill after a superb shot here at six. Look at how

fast these greens are getting. Walked that in. After four putting

the double bogey at five, Dustin Johnson comes back with a beautiful

birdie here. Difficult sixth. Paul Casey down the hill at X. -- six.

Sorry, 12. 152 yards today. This is the pin position everybody knows...

That's OK. Struck it really well, really well. Better than short.

Something other than the driver here for Jordan. He's tugged it. That

bunker is no good. It might be short of it. McIlroy, driver, on the

ninth. Into the trees on the left yesterday, but heading the other way

today. It's fine, didn't get much of a bounce down there.

He's playing with McIlroy, Daniel Berger. Last year's US Rookie of the

Year. What a good kick that was. He's got fairway. 3-wood for

Kaufman. The camber of the fairway feeds down to the huge bunkers.

Being able to stay short, choosing the right club. A two weightless,

Wainwright on four, left on five. He'll have to figure that out. We go

to Danny Willett at seven, almost no chance here. We already know how

fast this is. Doesn't look too shabby. Look at it

go on, though, wonderful effort from Danny Willett. So close to three,

now scrapping for his par. Need a little drop from the sprinkler head.

Jordan Spieth still in control, even more so, three shots clear of three

players. Kjeldsen, Kaufman and Willett. Once again, his putter

doing the business on the 4th hole, as it has all week. Treacherous

birdie putt down the hill for Westwood. These are huge for Lee,

you have to hole fees if you want to win this golf tournament. Dead

centre, perfect speed. And all of a sudden Westwood is just four back.

Bogey for par, par, par, birdie, birdie back row.

A shorter version of the Tiger Woods chips. Davis Love chipped in from

back there as well. In it goes. But a few spectacular shots on the 16th

today. It's always back there, the Sunday pin position, but it seems to

be quite hungry today, the hole on the 16th. A good run for

Aphibarnrat, back to over. -- two over. Right back up the hill from

Danny Willett. And he's got it. Quite a two putt there. And a nice

clean card so far. Absolutely, neat and tidy from Danny

Willett. It's taken him into a tie for second place, three shots off

the lead held by defending champion Jordan Spieth. Soren Kjeldsen making

a fantastic run at this, six years since his last appearance at the

Masters. Trying to become the highest placed Dane ever. That was

Thorbjorn Olesen three years back, who was tied sixth. Excellent effort

from the 40-year-old. Smylie Kaufman just a little ragged the last couple

of holes, but in a steamed company. As you seen the last couple of

holes, using all of his local knowledge forged over 16 years to

good effect, especially the last couple of holes. Matsuyama 1-over

today. Watson has had his troubles. Jason Day hasn't yet got going.

Justin Rose, 1-under today, two over for the tournament. Bernhard Langer,

3-over today. Still hasn't come through, but there is still time for

the 58-year-old. Adam Scott, looking to see him

finish out on the 18th. That was not good.

In it goes Adam Scott, 76, 72, 75, his first three rounds. He started

well today. Couple of bogeys on the last three holes. That in 39,

11-over total. Big putt for Matsuyama to remain even par. Let's

have another look at Danny Willett's putt, this

is him on the slope on the seventh. We've seen a lot of players bunched

up closely. Take Jordan Spieth out of the equation. He's still in

control of the tournament now. Quizzical looking Kaufman. Stunning

shot from Smylie Kaufman write down the flag. Little bit unfortunate

again, just toppled on a bit further. Good signs for Smylie

Jordan Spieth ended up short of those massive bunkers. Now he's got

to play a big sweeping draw. He hasn't hooked it enough. It doesn't

appear. All kinds of options as to how you want to play that shot. It's

one of the most difficult around the hole, the fifth, we saw what

happened to Dustin Johnson. It's a devilish imposition. The hole almost

has a little nose, like a peninsula. Where it all on one level, then

drops off all around it. Here's the aforementioned Johnson. He'll keep

it low there, but you need to be high into the screen. -- into this

green. He will send it beyond the flag and hope it comes back.

Kjeldsen at eight hitting a little trick shot. About all he could do

from there. Jason Day, we'll see if he can get

some height on this. Coming in from 140. Behind the pin, spin it back.

It will go. It will go. It must go. Don't stay there. That is... When we

saw Westwood's ball go all the way down, how can that stay? Kilts on.

To get within two. -- Kjeldsen to get within two. Almost identical to

Rory McIlroy's Miss here are a few moments ago in his bid for eagle.

That'll be par. For Soren Kjeldsen, who is now tied for second with

Danny Willett and Smylie Kaufman. One shot back is Lee Westwood.

Beyond the flag Dustin Johnson goes. He's gone further up the slope than

Kjeldsen. Comes back with a bit more momentum. This could be remarkable

from Dustin Johnson. There we are, understands the contours and battle

be a tap in par. Strange and beautiful place, Augusta. Matthew

Fitzpatrick, second shot to the par 515. This is on the extreme left

side of the green, very narrow back there. No bailouts here. Good shot.

Justin Rose. He's got it back to two over par. A good tee shot. Stay

there. That's going to go, is it? Is it? It hangs on for dear life.

Oh boy. It's never a good sign. Where is that going to end up.

Looking at Justin Rose, his scorecard, three birdies in the last

four. A great run as we go to McIlroy with this Casey like putt.

Never stop striving but there will come a time in his mind when he

knows realistically, deep down, it's not going to be. You can see Justin

Rose coming up alongside McIlroy now, two over. Critical shot here

for Casey if he wants any chance to win this golf tournament he'll have

to play a spectacular shot here. And that is one spectacular shot for

Paul Casey. An eagle opportunity. Jordan Spieth, let's see what he

makes of this, well below the level of the green to the right of the

fifth. Slow down. Slow down. He's going to

be tested again from 15 feet or so. Perhaps more.

Jason Day. Unlucky his ball didn't go down... A little imperfection

four feet short of the hole. Matsuyama. And welcome back, Peter

Alice. Thank you, the excitement rolls on. It wasn't a very good tee

shot for the Oriental wizard. And that may not be over yet. I'm not

sure I like seeing things like that, but that's the way it is, it's been

like that for three and a half days. Brandt Snedeker. A chance to get

1-over. Birdie four... People are beginning to make a move. All this

noise... Jordan Spieth will hear the applause and a few rules. -- and a

few roars. McIlroy at nine. Well done. You'll breathe a sigh of

relief it is nine holes out of the way. What a jump it was. This cues,

Mrs, holed out, good shots. Something for everyone. Danny

Willett, second to the par-5. Can he get home? Be good! And it is. Hopped

up a little bit more. Great shot from Danny Willett. Eagle putt to

follow. Justin Rose. At the 10th. Only two over par. He's had a very

adventurous three days. Beautiful putt. Players today showing what

they can do when conditions are more benign. Matthew Fitzpatrick eagle

putt on the 15th. Hit it, hit it. Birdie to come for Fitzpatrick. He

birdied 14 as well. He will get back to two over with this. Into the top

ten. Jordan Spieth. Not 1 million miles

away, but that is a dropped shot. Danny Willett is going to have a

putt to tie the lead shortly. Unpleasant miss at the 6th. Double

bogey for Matsuyama. Kaufman. So near. That was for

three, but wasn't to be. Just a little whisker untidy.

Thought he'd got that one, but no. He's hanging in there, 1-under par,

outside Pavin and Kjeldsen. -- outside Willett.

What a record he's had in the Majors. What a year he had last

year. Back to 3-under. Kjeldsen, Willett and Kaufman two shots behind

Westwood, three behind... Kjeldsen. 1-under par. Gave that a good clip.

And it's going to stop... No, it's not, unlucky. Something he had no

control over. Couldn't make it way all the way back, could it? It might

do, it's gathering a bit of speed. I fancy it will slow down. Yes,

hopeless putt from there. Playing alongside Danny Willett

here. He's had a bit of trouble on this hole. This, for his birdie. He

is giving this a go. OK, nice putt. Only three behind the lead. Looking

back up the ninth, Snedeker. Lots of shuffling and twitching of the

shoulders, then a quick swing. Steady. So many shots become almost

frightening when they go towards the green and you are praying for them

to stop in some cases. Because if it takes one revolution, you know it's

gone. Kaufman on six. Back right pin. He likes it. No, no, no. It's

difficult, isn't it? The actual landing area, the flat area, is only

3-4 yd.2. Not much at all. That is where someone like Faldo is so good

around this course, the precision of his iron play. Danny Willett, putt

on 18 to tie the lead. Not 1 million miles away and Willett

moves within one of Jordan Spieth. The eighth is playing fairly gently

today. Willett, what a tidy card that is. Birdies on six and eight,

moving along so well. Our leader at the 6th.

He fancies it. Whoa... Is not a short hitter himself, Spieth. No,

it's a struggle. These past three days, three and a half days, it's

been desperately hard work. There hasn't been a lot to enjoy this week

when it comes down to the golf. He does wear his heart on his sleeve,

Spieth, you know exactly what he's thinking. Casey for an eagle. Again,

very tidy round by Casey. Third birdie. No dropped shots. He is

1-over. Britain is very well represented in the top ten. Let's

look at the leaderboard. Jordan Spieth's lead is just one ahead of

Danny Willett. Soren Kjeldsen and two 1-under. Paul Casey as well.

Matt Fitzpatrick just inside the top ten. We've seen a bit of action on

the eighth green recently and earlier on today Ken was down there.

Well, I wonder where the pin is at eight today, the par-5. Ten on, five

from the right. I've not seen it there on the final day before. The

front portion of the green, the narrowest part. The front portion of

the green is a little upslope. It doesn't entice you to landing the

ball in. But this is an eagle chance. If you pitch it on this

chance here there is every chance it will kick round into the flag. The

same thing on the other side, it gathers up. If you miss on the other

side you are in the reasonableness, and pitch it on the other bank and

you have the same thing. They have put this spot where there might be

one or two eagles. If you are pitching in... If you are slightly

out, and this breeze is interesting, we are about ten left of the flag

and if you pitch it here, well I never. It is so difficult to get the

ball down in two from there. If you get it right on the eight you have

got two good blows and you have an eagle chance. If you get it wrong,

difficult to get it done in two. COMMENTATOR: A wonderful description

of the difficulties. So precise when it is playing the way it is, firm,

windy. But somebody will be happy in a few hours' time. They will be

jubilant. Smylie Kaufman. Played this well. Very well indeed.

Lovely touch from Smylie Kaufman. He has not seemed over phased by the

task today. Now, Snedeker and the ninth, Cross Green, long putt.

Stay up. This tails off. Pretty much every putt is stressful. Patrick.

Birdie, par, bogey in the first three rounds. Heading in the wrong

direction. He's gone straight at it! Sitcom he says. Lovely tee shot from

Fitzpatrick. Just birdied the last two holes as well, two over for the

tournament. The ninth, Celts in for a birdie. He has butted sideways.

The flag is bottom left of your screen and here it comes. It might
