The bear has hibernation. Beautifully done.

:00:36.:00:43.

The bear has That's the way champions do it. Yes!

:00:44.:00:46.

Terrific stuff. You little beauty. That's the way champions do it. Yes!

:00:47.:00:53.

One of the epic performances in At the end of the opening day of the

:00:54.:01:16.

88th Masters we had a real feeling of deja vu. 12 months ago Jordan

:01:17.:01:22.

Spieth left everyone in his wake as he made a record-breaking claim to

:01:23.:01:27.

the green jacket. 12 months later the 22-year-old defending champion

:01:28.:01:31.

from Texas was at it again, despite the fact on a windblown opening day

:01:32.:01:36.

there was a posse of Europeans on full sail, Spieth was threatening to

:01:37.:01:38.

There are those who drive up the disappear over the horizon.

:01:39.:01:46.

There are those who drive up the lane at Augusta and feel at home.

:01:47.:01:51.

Jordan Spieth came in with little form by his high standards, but did

:01:52.:01:55.

what he does, 25 putts on those beautiful and wicked greens, to get

:01:56.:02:01.

66. For others the beauty was harder to find, Rickie Fowler shot 80, Adam

:02:02.:02:06.

Scott 76, and the sorry sight of Ernie Els with six putts on the

:02:07.:02:11.

opening hole, demons in his head. Spieth was on top, where with the

:02:12.:02:17.

other members of the so-called big three? Jason Day was in close

:02:18.:02:20.

pursuit until the water claimed him on 16. McIlroy moved to 4-under but

:02:21.:02:28.

stumbled over the final three holes. 70, a solid start. European

:02:29.:02:32.

challenge was strong, Ireland's Shane Lowry finished with 68. Sergio

:02:33.:02:38.

Garcia just a shot further back. On the same 3-under Mark, 20 years

:02:39.:02:43.

after Nick Faldo's last English win, three were hoping to do the same,

:02:44.:02:48.

Paul Casey, Ian Poulter and Justin Rose, the runner-up last year was

:02:49.:02:53.

well placed again. But the man who beat him then, Jordan Spieth, was in

:02:54.:02:57.

front again. Just another day for the young master, where in this most

:02:58.:03:02.

extraordinary place, leading the Masters seems the most ordinary

:03:03.:03:03.

thing in the world. Jordan Spieth's overnight lead was

:03:04.:03:14.

two shots after the opening 66 going into Friday. The sixth straight

:03:15.:03:17.

round he has helped the outright lead here.

:03:18.:03:24.

17 years and counting since the last European winner here. With Shane

:03:25.:03:33.

Lowry, Poulter, Danny Willett, Rory McIlroy among those within four

:03:34.:03:40.

shots, everything seems doable. Only 20 players breaking par on a

:03:41.:03:45.

blustery day. Jordan Spieth really didn't like handing back his green

:03:46.:03:50.

jacket when he pitched up down Magnolia Lane earlier in the week.

:03:51.:03:53.

How he would love to hang onto it for another year and take it back to

:03:54.:03:58.

his Dallas home. He, like everyone else, will have to cope with tricky

:03:59.:04:02.

conditions once again. The weather forecast was for more of the same as

:04:03.:04:08.

day one, strong breezes coming through the trees and swirling

:04:09.:04:11.

around making club selection and putting tricky on the Lassie dreams.

:04:12.:04:19.

Spieth happy afternoon start. Those teeing off in the morning tried to

:04:20.:04:24.

bridge the gap. -- on the glassy greens. Scott Piercy at the 3rd,

:04:25.:04:34.

Flowering Peach, and this was a fine putt. He moved to 4-under for the

:04:35.:04:39.

tournament, and within two of Spieth. Scott Piercy joining Danny

:04:40.:04:44.

Lee and Denmark's Soren Kjeldsen, who birdied the second to make

:04:45.:04:49.

progress of his own. Shane Lowry had an opening bogey to drop back into

:04:50.:04:53.

the group at 3-under. Justin Rose and Paul Casey are yet to get

:04:54.:04:57.

underway. Ian Poulter, two over after six for his round. Rob

:04:58.:05:04.

world under one Jason Day at the 5th hole, and we are in the Company of

:05:05.:05:13.

Ken Brown and Paul Azinger. COMMENTATOR: The pin in a very

:05:14.:05:20.

awkward spot at number five, in the upper bluff. Get up... It has. You

:05:21.:05:26.

will not see a better one than that today. Almost impossible to get up

:05:27.:05:28.

that flag. It's a beauty. Rory McIlroy the second. Enormous

:05:29.:05:40.

tee shot here with the hole to the father -- to the far left of the

:05:41.:05:45.

green. No chance to get it close. That's likely pretty close to where

:05:46.:05:51.

he was aiming. Good shot. Jason Day for birdie, the Greens are

:05:52.:06:10.

quicker than yesterday. Dried out under the blustery wind. 1-under for

:06:11.:06:17.

the day, 1-under in total. Handy start.

:06:18.:06:26.

Sergio Garcia for birdie at the 3rd. It's so fast down the hill. Well

:06:27.:06:36.

holed for Sergio. He's made some of those look pretty easy this week.

:06:37.:06:46.

Rory has putted up to here at the 2nd. Well judged for his birdie. The

:06:47.:06:53.

pin on a shallow point of the green. Perfect start, 3-under par. Par at

:06:54.:07:01.

the tricky first, birdie at the 2nd. Danny Willett with a virtual kick in

:07:02.:07:09.

at the 3rd. There are no gimmes at Augusta. The edges are so sharp.

:07:10.:07:19.

Well holed. Big tee shot up the third for Rory. A short par-4,

:07:20.:07:23.

trying to skid up to the green. Should have a bit of grab. Not bad,

:07:24.:07:31.

leaving himself a sniff of another Berdych -- birdie chance.

:07:32.:07:41.

Jason Day, trying to lay up at number eight. It sounded good, a

:07:42.:07:47.

little long, but not bad. Better than being short, I can assure you.

:07:48.:07:56.

Slippery putt down the hill for Rory. Left-to-right. Glassy. He's

:07:57.:08:09.

done it. Perfect start, par, birdie, birdie, 4-under par, 2-under for his

:08:10.:08:13.

round today. Couldn't ask for better. From one fast putt to

:08:14.:08:20.

another. Jason Day down the hill at eight. That's just perfect speed,

:08:21.:08:29.

dead in the centre of the hole. Good comeback for Jason Day. The second

:08:30.:08:38.

nine yesterday, 41 coming back. 41 was no good. Rory McIlroy for bogey

:08:39.:08:49.

at before. It's a long par-3. My goodness. Tom Watson now driving.

:08:50.:08:59.

APPLAUSE Tom Watson, a two time Masters

:09:00.:09:03.

champion, he made it known this would be his last go round Augusta

:09:04.:09:09.

National. Hoping to get two more days in and stay for the weekend.

:09:10.:09:13.

What a player, what a career. Charley Hoffman now driving... The

:09:14.:09:43.

fourth is a horrible sliding left-to-right for McIlroy. He's

:09:44.:09:49.

dropped two shots, back to where he started. What a shame. Actor 2-under

:09:50.:10:00.

par. -- back to 2-under par. This is how it looks... Jordan Spieth is yet

:10:01.:10:02.

Not many players under par. The early part of the day's play has

:10:03.:10:23.

been tricky. The breeze swirling in the trees. 18 players under par.

:10:24.:10:27.

McIlroy at the back of the 15th, the trees. 18 players under par.

:10:28.:10:31.

awkward pin, carried too far and went over the back. Not carried far

:10:32.:10:41.

enough. Double bogey at the 4th. This will be his fourth when it

:10:42.:10:46.

stops, easier than last time, but a tricky pitch that he has left

:10:47.:10:53.

himself. It's not an overly difficult

:10:54.:10:55.

himself. It's not an overly Willett. Plenty of green to work

:10:56.:11:03.

with. It depends on the lie. Is he going up and coming back? No. That

:11:04.:11:07.

wasn't his best, that's for sure. Rory has this

:11:08.:11:22.

Actually a pretty good bogey in the end. A marvellous start, but he has

:11:23.:11:28.

frittered three strokes away in two holes. Easily done, but so painful.

:11:29.:11:35.

Unfortunately for Danny Willett, he has this for par and its blazing

:11:36.:11:43.

fast. Just taps it, and it was left all the way.

:11:44.:11:49.

Bogey for Danny Willett and a dropped shot at seven.

:11:50.:11:59.

The defending champion is wandering onto the tee, getting a

:12:00.:12:07.

The defending champion is wandering welcome. 66 yesterday, had one of

:12:08.:12:13.

those days on the greens, 25 putts. Not often you finish in the

:12:14.:12:16.

clubhouse and say, I couldn't have scored any lower. Rory for a par

:12:17.:12:23.

save at the difficult sixth. It turned quite a bit at the end, well

:12:24.:12:33.

holed. Three is a great score at the 6th today, especially following

:12:34.:12:34.

Garcia at the double bogey, bogey.

:12:35.:12:50.

Garcia at the one to the pin. Man, very rare you

:12:51.:12:52.

see that back up to the green when the breeze is holding. It's a

:12:53.:12:55.

cracker. Not many smiles but he's playing darn well. After a good tee

:12:56.:13:05.

shot at the 1st, Jordan Spieth aiming at the hole on the back of

:13:06.:13:10.

the green to the far right-hand side. You can't go long here. And

:13:11.:13:16.

the right is no bargain either. It sounded OK. He gave it a twirl.

:13:17.:13:23.

Terrific shot. Good start for Jordan Spieth.

:13:24.:13:36.

Garcia to move to 4-under. Sweetly done, a nice wordy at eight. -- a

:13:37.:13:47.

nice birdie. Right in the mix. Bryson Dechambeau. He could become

:13:48.:14:05.

the most interesting golfer in the world here with a little bit more

:14:06.:14:13.

success. Won the NCAAs. And he chips in. What a start! Won the NCAAs and

:14:14.:14:22.

the amateur Championship in the same year, one of only five players to do

:14:23.:14:27.

that. The first playing extremely difficult, straight into the wind

:14:28.:14:31.

today. He will be happy with that birdie, especially from straight

:14:32.:14:34.

over the green, it was really fast. Jordan Spieth has a big break from

:14:35.:14:40.

left-to-right. He's onto the right allege. Started where he left off.

:14:41.:14:48.

Fabulous start, 7-under par, the cheers ringing around the course.

:14:49.:15:00.

He's off running. Magical. Jordan Spieth is underway after a beautiful

:15:01.:15:01.

birdie on the difficult 1st hole. To the second green, the monster

:15:02.:15:27.

par-5 downhill. Paul Casey, 3-under, third shot, and that's pretty good.

:15:28.:15:31.

Better than pretty good. Mighty fine. Nice to see him playing well.

:15:32.:15:43.

Now, Jason Day studying this one. It looks beautiful, but danger all

:15:44.:15:44.

around. Tumbling down. The ball was above him. Sometimes

:15:45.:15:58.

you can overcompensate, out to the right. Oh dear. So close to being a

:15:59.:16:05.

wonderful shot, but Daly into the water. -- but Jason Day into the

:16:06.:16:15.

water. On the second green, Paul Casey played a good shot from the

:16:16.:16:19.

bunker and that moves him to 4-under. Nice start for Paul.

:16:20.:16:27.

He has taken a drop, this is the fourth shot. It didn't sound clean

:16:28.:16:36.

at all. Into the water again. Horrors at the 13th for Jason Day.

:16:37.:16:43.

All gone wrong. He will be pitching six on this par-5.

:16:44.:16:48.

Chris Wood at the 5th. Very underrated hole, the fifth. Very

:16:49.:16:56.

tricky green, monster putt for birdie. Bob, down and round, and

:16:57.:17:03.

it's in there. You never know, it's a silly old game. Great start for

:17:04.:17:11.

Chris Wood. 2-under par. Got away with it, he stuffed it into the

:17:12.:17:17.

creek, but chipped to hear, Jason Day. This to drop just one shot at

:17:18.:17:24.

the par-5. Tracking well and in it goes. If there can be such a good

:17:25.:17:30.

thing, a good bogey. He has been twice into the creek. Yet he only

:17:31.:17:36.

drops one shot. Having to work hard at the moment, hanging on, Jason

:17:37.:17:41.

Day. The second nine has not been kind to him, but the course has been

:17:42.:17:48.

nine to our leader at the 3rd. Jordan Spieth, a tremendous tee shot

:17:49.:17:52.

and a simple looking pitch to the green. It spins, magnificent result.

:17:53.:17:58.

That's a certain three. He will move to 7-under. Is it a runaway? A long

:17:59.:18:07.

way to go yet. Shane Lowry in the Valley in the ninth. Everybody

:18:08.:18:15.

hitting big drives today. It goes back. Or won't it? Wonderful from

:18:16.:18:25.

Shane Lowry. Just about concede him that. It will be 3-under with 1-over

:18:26.:18:30.

to the turn full hourly. He will be out in 37 if he knocks that in. --

:18:31.:18:38.

to the turn for Lowry. Danny Willett at 16. Keeping things going very

:18:39.:18:44.

nicely. Vista moved to 4-under. Up the hill, a bit. -- this to move to

:18:45.:18:49.

4-under. Jordan Spieth with a tap in birdie

:18:50.:19:03.

on the 3rd hole, he moves to 8-under. Four clear of closest

:19:04.:19:07.

pursuer Danny Lee. Anything around par in these

:19:08.:19:18.

conditions will stand you in good stead.

:19:19.:19:24.

The good young Frenchman, won the amateur Championship at Carnoustie

:19:25.:19:36.

last year, and whoa! Very French and flamboyant. He's well on his way to

:19:37.:19:42.

making the cut. Bryson Dechambeau will be challenging for top amateur

:19:43.:19:55.

honours as well, but well done to Langasque. And Jordan Spieth has

:19:56.:19:59.

missed one! McIlroy with some work to do for par

:20:00.:20:06.

at 11. Trouble here yesterday and again

:20:07.:20:21.

today. McIlroy bogey at the 4th, great start after birdies at the 2nd

:20:22.:20:29.

and third, bogeys at four and five, and another one on 11, starting to

:20:30.:20:36.

slip back. Costly. Spieth at the 5th. It should be a formality. Three

:20:37.:20:43.

or four feet. Just a little tap in, but not just a little tap in! There

:20:44.:20:51.

is a very rare sight. He has gone a couple of feet past at least. Well,

:20:52.:20:53.

well, well. Paul Casey, he will have seen how

:20:54.:21:04.

difficult this hole can be with Spieth's putt, but he rattles in

:21:05.:21:13.

with some confidence. A couple of bogeys, but that run comes to an

:21:14.:21:19.

end. Danny Lee at 18, who has kept his game together very well, tapping

:21:20.:21:24.

in a bogey. It's 2-under for the tournament, and that's very good

:21:25.:21:26.

playing in deed under these conditions. I think it's a bit more

:21:27.:21:29.

difficult than yesterday, and that conditions. I think it's a bit more

:21:30.:21:33.

might be because of Finn placement and the speed of the greens. A lot

:21:34.:21:37.

of work to do before we make the cut tonight. I think a few people have

:21:38.:21:42.

been writing off this tournament saying Spieth was running away, he

:21:43.:21:46.

was going to win, but this putt is for double bogey. Suddenly two shots

:21:47.:21:53.

gone, that's how quickly things can change at Augusta even for the very

:21:54.:21:57.

best putter in the world. A couple of early birdies at a double bogey

:21:58.:22:03.

at five. Spieth still leading by three ahead of Scott Piercy and

:22:04.:22:09.

Justin Rose. The New Zealand economy Danny Lee, 74 today, but 2-under

:22:10.:22:14.

overall and very well placed. After a miscue at 15, Spieth on 16. -- the

:22:15.:22:18.

New Zealander, ... The winds swirling around. That's

:22:19.:22:35.

what I'm talking about right there. That's the question asked you. Where

:22:36.:22:41.

is the sweet boy we knew of yesteryear? Can there be an evil bit

:22:42.:22:48.

of him lurking under that sweet facade? I fancy so. Bubba Watson has

:22:49.:22:55.

had a wonderful second shot at 18. I fancy this is to make the cut. I

:22:56.:23:03.

think 5-over will make it. Bubba, Bubba. Can't understand it. 6-over

:23:04.:23:10.

might still make it, but it's a stretch. Such high hopes for Bubba

:23:11.:23:15.

Watson coming into this tournament. Two 75s. Spieth went right through

:23:16.:23:23.

the crowd, didn't hurt anybody and chipped back to here. Long putt for

:23:24.:23:32.

par-3 on this 6th hole. Can he? He has, and that's a huge save.

:23:33.:23:36.

Conscious competence if ever I saw some. Stays at 6-under, and looking

:23:37.:23:45.

good. Not been a good day for Ian Poulter. Can he finish well?

:23:46.:23:55.

Hugely frustrating. That would have just redeemed a lot of the bad

:23:56.:24:02.

things that have happened to him today. Started off 3-under after a

:24:03.:24:05.

wonderful 69 yesterday. That's a today. Started off 3-under after a

:24:06.:24:12.

here for the weekend, but a much earlier start tomorrow. 14th hole,

:24:13.:24:21.

Garcia, 1-under. Difficult flag position at 14 with humps and bumps

:24:22.:24:29.

and all sorts of slopes. But that's beautifully judged. Great result and

:24:30.:24:35.

the chance of a birdie. Very good shot indeed from Garcia.

:24:36.:24:41.

This isn't too bad for Jordan Spieth. A bad second shot from a

:24:42.:24:51.

tricky position. That was a good sound. Good shot. We can give him

:24:52.:24:59.

that, I think. He makes it look very simple, a beautifully played shot.

:25:00.:25:07.

Dark clouds are behind him. Now Garcia, a wonderful second shot in

:25:08.:25:13.

here. So difficult to get it on the correct part of the green.

:25:14.:25:18.

Beautifully finished out. Well done to Sergio Garcia after bogey on the

:25:19.:25:23.

13th, which was wasteful. Back to 2-under.

:25:24.:25:31.

McIlroy at the 13th, the par-5, this is for birdie. He needs something to

:25:32.:25:39.

happen. That's better. Another par-5 coming up at 15. Chances. He's had a

:25:40.:25:50.

bit of a mishmash sort of day so far, and he knows it. Bryson

:25:51.:25:52.

Dechambeau. In it goes. He looks like a very

:25:53.:26:04.

tidy, if somewhat unorthodox player. A lot of other people might start

:26:05.:26:11.

trying his clubs. The Sham Bo, just off the first page of the

:26:12.:26:14.

leaderboard, which is headed by playing partner Jordan Spieth.

:26:15.:26:32.

Jordan Spieth got a good break by missing this bunker at eight to the

:26:33.:26:42.

right. Second shot. And he's just let go. Not clicking on all

:26:43.:26:48.

cylinders today, but that won't hurt much at all. It's actually a pretty

:26:49.:26:55.

easy pitch back up there, about 50 yards or so. Jason Day to finish out

:26:56.:27:03.

with par... No. He was going so well yesterday, getting to 5-under, then

:27:04.:27:06.

slipping back on the back nine. Today he has missed a few shots.

:27:07.:27:16.

Three bogeys on the back nine. Some way back going into the weekend.

:27:17.:27:21.

Jordan Spieth from more than 50 yards, probably closer to 70 or 80.

:27:22.:27:28.

And that's nearly perfectly judged. Wow, that stopped fast.

:27:29.:27:33.

Scott Piercy Fairly steady round, round in level

:27:34.:27:45.

par, back in 1-over. 2-under for the tournament.

:27:46.:27:50.

Jordan Spieth for birdie at eight after a lovely wedge shot downwind.

:27:51.:28:01.

Good, aggressive stroke. He's got it. Well holed, maybe that will

:28:02.:28:08.

right be shipped a little bit for Jordan. He has been up and down like

:28:09.:28:15.

a yo-yo today. Birdies, bogeys, double bogeys. Well holed for birdie

:28:16.:28:21.

at eight. Paul Casey needs this. Bogeys at three, four and six.

:28:22.:28:28.

Birdie at eight. Heading in the right direction again, getting back

:28:29.:28:29.

to 2-under. 1-over for the day. Shane Lowry at 15. Level for the

:28:30.:28:51.

tournament. Good birdie here. Led the field yesterday in greens in

:28:52.:28:58.

regulation. Very difficult out there today. Double bogey at the short

:28:59.:29:11.

12th hole. Now Justin Rose. Oh, that will be a 3-putt for Justin Rose

:29:12.:29:19.

here. Unfortunate bogey. McIlroy with his second to 15, taking it on

:29:20.:29:28.

and twirling away. Sit, sit! Does it need to sit? He's one of the few

:29:29.:29:31.

players who can hit that high and get it to land that softly. The 15th

:29:32.:29:36.

becomes a little bit less intimidating. Wonderful shot. Henrik

:29:37.:29:41.

Stenson so close to falling back down the slope at six, but it goes

:29:42.:29:45.

in for the Swede. Stenson doesn't have a great record at the Masters,

:29:46.:29:48.

but into sub par figures. Jordan Spieth at the 9th, dangerous

:29:49.:30:03.

hole location here. And that's why. He just misjudged it by a yard or

:30:04.:30:09.

two. Who knows when that will start rolling. Goodness.

:30:10.:30:23.

It was a towering second shot from McIlroy. This is quick, for eagle,

:30:24.:30:34.

it says. Two putts for a birdie would be gratefully received. That

:30:35.:30:37.

is a very nice roll from McIlroy. DeChambeau, the amateur at nine,

:30:38.:30:54.

it's all about getting the right distance here. Will it come back?

:30:55.:30:57.

That should feed all the way back down to the hole. Will it go in? No,

:30:58.:31:06.

it came up just a little bit lacking but what a shot from the amateur.

:31:07.:31:13.

McIlroy then for his four, birdie for Rory Mcllroy. He's starting to

:31:14.:31:21.

make of it of ground. Bolli the two par fives, that is what you do, 13

:31:22.:31:29.

and 15. -- birdie. Jordan Spieth chipping into the green and back up

:31:30.:31:32.

the hill, I don't believe that is going to make it. Not a good effort

:31:33.:31:41.

at all. That brings double bogey into the equation for Jordan.

:31:42.:31:49.

Tee shot for McIlroy on the 16th, the pin on the back right today, 176

:31:50.:31:58.

yards. This looks like a pretty good line. Stay there. That's OK. Now,

:31:59.:32:12.

Bryson DeChambeau trying to capitalise on that terrific shot

:32:13.:32:23.

here on nine, and he has done it. He is going to feel pressure like he's

:32:24.:32:25.

never felt before. Rose to save par. Costly, three bogeys in the last

:32:26.:32:54.

four. Rory Mcllroy, down the hill, big left-to-right swinger. This is a

:32:55.:33:02.

lovely effort here. Is it ever! What they putt from Rory Mcllroy.

:33:03.:33:10.

Spieth for a bogey. Not too bad to drop just one after his travails

:33:11.:33:31.

there. It all adds up to level par front nine. So, Jordan Spieth is

:33:32.:33:38.

three clear of Rory Mcllroy, making his move, Danny Lee with 74, Scott

:33:39.:33:44.

Piercy completed his round, Paul Casey Henny in, Bryson DeChambeau

:33:45.:33:47.

the leading amateur playing, wonderful golf from the young

:33:48.:33:52.

American. Jordan Spieth has missed yet another green, he's got to pitch

:33:53.:34:00.

it back up the hill into the 10th. It's easily done there. You

:34:01.:34:04.

certainly can't come up short. It's always more difficult when you are

:34:05.:34:11.

chipping into the green like that to just gun it a little bit. That will

:34:12.:34:15.

be a difficult and delicate putt down the hill for par. He has played

:34:16.:34:23.

good golf today, Garcia, but dropped a shot on the 17th, and here he has

:34:24.:34:29.

a little left to right one on the final. That is cruel cruel, cruel.

:34:30.:34:36.

Bogey, bogey, bogey finish for Sergio Garcia, round of 75, back to

:34:37.:34:42.

level par for the tournament. Still not out of it but an expensive

:34:43.:34:43.

finish. Jordan Spieth now for par, dicey

:34:44.:35:06.

little putt, down the hill. Settle. Is always rolls out that extra foot.

:35:07.:35:13.

McIlroy setting up for the feed here on the 18th. Has he overdone it?

:35:14.:35:25.

Trees, in trouble, McIlroy finds it. Shane Lowry, can he finished with a

:35:26.:35:32.

par here and finish with red figures? Push, push, push. That is a

:35:33.:35:37.

pity, he has struggled today figures? Push, push, push. That is a

:35:38.:35:40.

many other players. figures? Push, push, push. That is a

:35:41.:35:47.

be a round of 76 for Shane Lowry. 4-under yesterday, for over today,

:35:48.:35:52.

struggling for the moment, bogeys on the opening two holes and bogey to

:35:53.:35:58.

finish with. -- four over today. This is where McIlroy ended up at

:35:59.:36:02.

the 18th, not the place to be, although it is possible to thread

:36:03.:36:07.

one through and find the green. Three or 4-iron, down the shaft,

:36:08.:36:13.

thump it and pray, scuttling up, well, it is out. He is OK.

:36:14.:36:29.

DeChambeau at the 11th. No, no, no, where is he? Not to the left? That

:36:30.:36:35.

is a mistake that has worked out majestically well.

:36:36.:36:40.

It is so important for McIlroy to try and finish well. He made bogey

:36:41.:36:46.

yesterday from a perfect drive. He has been in the trees today. He has

:36:47.:36:52.

a bit of a backstop here, spinning the club, happy, back down, it has

:36:53.:37:02.

to go back down. Just not going to have quite enough. If it had gone

:37:03.:37:05.

further up the slope it would have been better but still a good chance

:37:06.:37:10.

to save par. Two behind Spieth at the moment. Casey for a par. Casey

:37:11.:37:21.

for his part four at the 11th to state two under par. -- stay two

:37:22.:37:32.

under par. Just on the high side. McIlroy now for a par, and he's got

:37:33.:37:38.

it. Well done, that is a great effort. Wild drive into the trees,

:37:39.:37:44.

got it up onto the fairway, wonderful putt, and the drama of the

:37:45.:37:48.

two par threes on the front nine forgotten. Home in 34, 3-under, very

:37:49.:37:56.

much in the hunt. DeChambeau for his birdie on the 11th. Yes, indeed.

:37:57.:38:02.

Birdie on the 11th, how rare that is. STUDIO: Rory McIlroy in sole

:38:03.:38:11.

possession of second place right now after the round of 71 today and at

:38:12.:38:17.

one point he was six or seven shots behind, just two behind.

:38:18.:38:21.

Golf fans everywhere would love to see you lock horns with Jordan

:38:22.:38:25.

Spieth over the weekend. What would you like to see and how much would

:38:26.:38:28.

that get the juices flowing come Saturday and Sunday? Yes, obviously

:38:29.:38:33.

Jordan is the defending champion and playing great here and he's very

:38:34.:38:38.

comfortable on this golf course. I feel like I've got some unfinished

:38:39.:38:42.

business here over the past few years. I would look forward to it.

:38:43.:38:49.

Jordan is playing very, very well and if I were to have a battle with

:38:50.:38:53.

him over the next two days I would enjoy it and hopefully I could just

:38:54.:38:55.

come out on top. DeChambeau on the 12th tee, two

:38:56.:39:08.

under par. Murmuring in the crowd. And, yes, now chairs.

:39:09.:39:11.

CHEERING Beautiful shot, he has birdied the

:39:12.:39:15.

11th and it looks like another one coming up at the 12th. -- Cheers.

:39:16.:39:25.

Justin Rose with a little pitch to the eighth. Just running on a bit.

:39:26.:39:35.

No, nicely judged. That should be a tap in to get him to one under par.

:39:36.:39:40.

DeChambeau hit a marvellous tee shot at the 12th and this is to clean up

:39:41.:39:46.

for birdie. And now Bryson DeChambeau has moved to 3-under,

:39:47.:39:52.

just two shots off the lead. A bit of trouble here for Rose, this is

:39:53.:39:58.

his fourth now, he pitched up to hear from down in the hollow to the

:39:59.:40:07.

left of the green. -- up to here. He would think about Holding that but

:40:08.:40:13.

it is likely to be bogey. -- holing that. This is Paul Casey's tee shot.

:40:14.:40:19.

And it did as well. What a shot from KC. Eagle putt to come. Devouring

:40:20.:40:31.

the 13th Ashun Casey. Quick down the slope for Mickelson, for the three.

:40:32.:40:36.

It needs to settle now. Look at this. Don't look, look away. The

:40:37.:40:48.

very best in the world can be made to look very silly. He has put it

:40:49.:40:53.

off the green, from no great distance but if you are on the wrong

:40:54.:40:57.

part of the greens you are in trouble here at Augusta. Paul Casey

:40:58.:41:06.

now with the shot of the day at 13. This is for eagle. To move him into

:41:07.:41:12.

a tie for second place at three under par.

:41:13.:41:21.

Will it rake? No, he has just overplayed that. I think you miss

:41:22.:41:29.

read that putt. He made a nice stroke, at least. Easy birdie,

:41:30.:41:38.

though. Lee Westwood is doing not too badly.

:41:39.:41:46.

He is hanging in there at one under par. Not too far away. He got here

:41:47.:41:58.

in two on this par-5. That is very, very well judged indeed from Lee

:41:59.:42:02.

Westwood. Birdied the 13th to get back to 1-over and should get back

:42:03.:42:11.

to level here. Jordan Spieth on the 14th. Downhill most of the way, just

:42:12.:42:16.

levels up at the cup a fraction. I have not seen him miss many by

:42:17.:42:35.

that. He's not had a lot of gimme two putts today. This would be a

:42:36.:42:41.

good par save for Paul Casey at 14 if he can make this one. Will it

:42:42.:42:57.

break? No, so close. This green drives -- dries out a bit. This is

:42:58.:43:03.

to save his par. Must have caught the edge of the hole by the crowd

:43:04.:43:10.

noise. Casey having a shot at the 15th, you can see the top of the

:43:11.:43:15.

flag, going with the wood, narrow parting surface, back into the wind.

:43:16.:43:30.

-- putting surface. Oh! Dear. Cutting spin, floated in the breeze,

:43:31.:43:34.

a couple of yards it would have been OK, but in the water. 1-over on his

:43:35.:43:42.

round today, even par for the tournament, Matsuyama. Barely

:43:43.:43:51.

touched that. Yes, that is well judged. We will leave him just a

:43:52.:43:59.

kick in birdie. He looks like he has a driving iron, he looks like he's

:44:00.:44:06.

having a shy at the green. Go, please go! Fantastic shot, played a

:44:07.:44:17.

little bit to the right, landed on the broadest part of the green. He

:44:18.:44:20.

was praying and his prayers were answered.

:44:21.:44:25.

Checking on the leaderboard, second round, most of the way through,

:44:26.:44:30.

Jordan Spieth currently leads by two shots from McIlroy, DeChambeau and a

:44:31.:44:31.

couple of strokes behind. DeChambeau from over the green at

:44:32.:44:40.

15. Two hops, on the green, well judged. You've got to hand it to the

:44:41.:44:52.

young amateur. Man, straight up in the air. Magnificent shot. We saw

:44:53.:45:00.

Sergio play a beauty and you can hardly do it any better than that.

:45:01.:45:12.

That is an absolute cracker Jack. Downhill, Spieth for an eagle

:45:13.:45:15.

That is an absolute cracker Jack. 15th. We've only seen one here so

:45:16.:45:19.

far today. He's got the line right, has he got the pace? Go on, go all

:45:20.:45:26.

the way. Good effort, high-quality well played hole. Good tee shot,

:45:27.:45:28.

lovely iron. Chris Wood, well played hole. Good tee shot,

:45:29.:45:38.

approach, pin high at the 18th, good angle to putt from. Turn, yes. Like

:45:39.:45:45.

a lot of rounds it has been up and down for Chris Wood but he's

:45:46.:45:52.

whacking the clubhouse at 1-under, 72, 73, good effortful stop Paul

:45:53.:45:58.

Casey to save par at 15. That is not going to move. Disappointing six

:45:59.:46:03.

here for going to move. Disappointing six

:46:04.:46:11.

Championship. Coming up the final hole, Tom Watson. This, we are told,

:46:12.:46:17.

will be his final appearance in the Masters. He won it twice. This

:46:18.:46:28.

probably never happens in any other form of sport, because they don't

:46:29.:46:33.

play the game that late. Time to enjoy a past champion and relive

:46:34.:46:46.

memories of days gone by. DeChambeau into outright second place, two

:46:47.:46:51.

behind Spieth. What a round of golf, my goodness. Wouldn't it be nice,

:46:52.:46:56.

Peter, if he Holding this all the way down the green for a birdie. It

:46:57.:47:00.

would be a miracle. He is aiming way off, just tickles it to the top of

:47:01.:47:05.

the hill. It looks as if he's made an awful mistake. Until the old sat

:47:06.:47:13.

nav cuts in. You may be right, he couldn't... That is a brilliant way

:47:14.:47:19.

to finish. couldn't... That is a brilliant way

:47:20.:47:23.

Sunday, not Saturday, Friday, that would have made a complete. At a

:47:24.:47:25.

great finish, just a would have made a complete. At a

:47:26.:47:31.

many. The course was too big for him really. But he played some beautiful

:47:32.:47:37.

shots. And he had some fun on the seniors Tour. There is his wife. In

:47:38.:47:48.

she goes and that's bit. The end of competitiveness here at Augusta. 66,

:47:49.:47:56.

about the right time to call it a day, clickety click, not too bad at

:47:57.:48:01.

all. Spieth on the right level. Putting

:48:02.:48:12.

along but a big misjudgement. He has not had his a game on the greens as

:48:13.:48:18.

greens as far as touch is concerned. Matsuyama at the 14th after that

:48:19.:48:28.

beautiful second shot. Slowly back, follow-through, in. Beauty. Not too

:48:29.:48:36.

many threes at the 14th today. Casey, his putt straight up the

:48:37.:48:42.

hill, judging the pace is not easy. Oh! It's gone back to his feet. That

:48:43.:48:50.

is a serious mistake. He dropped a shot at the par-5 15th after a

:48:51.:48:57.

good-looking second shot. That is not good. It does make you look

:48:58.:49:06.

rather foolish. The final scenes for Tom Watson as he moves away, shaking

:49:07.:49:13.

a few hands, a hug from dear Mrs Watson. Well done. Twice a winner,

:49:14.:49:23.

three times a run-up, the open champion five times, the old Kansas

:49:24.:49:29.

City kid has done well. Spieth has holed these time and time again.

:49:30.:49:36.

Yesterday he holed everything, here is another one on the right edge.

:49:37.:49:43.

He's pushed it. It has been a different day on the greens today,

:49:44.:49:46.

Peter. He's been much quicker and he's looked a bit jumpy. Very quick

:49:47.:49:54.

motions, movements, and agitated. A different player from yesterday.

:49:55.:50:01.

STUDIO: That is a third Ogita go with a double bogey for Jordan

:50:02.:50:05.

Spieth, he still has a two shot advantage but it is proving a very

:50:06.:50:09.

different data -- third bogey. The older generation the last few

:50:10.:50:13.

moments have been all about, as Tom Watson says farewell at the end of a

:50:14.:50:17.

43rd Masters campaign. Mr Watson, thank you for coming in.

:50:18.:50:22.

Can you describe the emotions as you walked up the 18th fairway? I didn't

:50:23.:50:26.

think I would have any tears but when I talked to my caddy, Niall, I

:50:27.:50:32.

said you are a great part of what I am, who I am on the golf course, you

:50:33.:50:38.

are a big part of my life and I started to tear up a bit. He is such

:50:39.:50:44.

a fine man. I was here with my friends and my family for the last,

:50:45.:50:52.

not the last go at Augusta, I didn't totally stink up the joint but I

:50:53.:50:55.

could have done a bit better and maybe made the cut, it would have

:50:56.:50:59.

been nice to do that and make the weekend. But the course is big for

:51:00.:51:04.

me. I said I'm glad I don't have to play the 18th hole, 495 yard up the

:51:05.:51:12.

hill par-4, I hit driver and 5-wood, really good driver and 5-wood and

:51:13.:51:15.

the other guys are hitting seven and eight I ams in there. It's time for

:51:16.:51:27.

me to say no mas.. Well above Rose's feet, good to get to the flag from.

:51:28.:51:35.

Don't, that is cruel. I think there is grass down there but it went over

:51:36.:51:39.

the edge at speed. I think it is in a little brook. Spieth is going to

:51:40.:51:49.

play this one. Got it a little bit high, pitched on the upslope and it

:51:50.:51:53.

sat up on him. He is therefore three. Parting for par, putting to

:51:54.:52:04.

remain level. It is a town short. He has not putted well at all today. --

:52:05.:52:08.

it had short. Spieth at the 17th, this is for a

:52:09.:52:22.

par-4. He dropped a stroke at the previous hole. And he has dropped

:52:23.:52:29.

another one here. How they slip away.

:52:30.:52:38.

STUDIO: Jordan Spieth beginning to leak shots, another one gone and now

:52:39.:52:47.

the gap is only one shot. Rory Mcllroy and Bryson DeChambeau firmly

:52:48.:52:54.

on his tail and DeChambeau still placed to post the best score of the

:52:55.:52:58.

day if he can safely negotiate the 18th.

:52:59.:53:00.

COMMENTATOR: At the 18th, DeChambeau is looking very good at the moment,

:53:01.:53:06.

3-under, drives it. Hello, he's given that a twist of the left into

:53:07.:53:10.

the big trees over the top of the crowd. That is a very bad area to

:53:11.:53:15.

hit the ball. It may never be seen again. Nicholson at 15. Uh oh! Uh

:53:16.:53:34.

oh! That is gone. He's just got to get it past the front bunker. Don't

:53:35.:53:42.

drift right, the lucky. He's not lucky. It is all falling to pieces.

:53:43.:53:46.

That is a treacherous shot out of that bunker. He had all sorts of

:53:47.:53:53.

problems in the rough behind the hospitality pavilions. He's had to

:53:54.:53:58.

drop out, now this is his fourth shot with all the penalties and

:53:59.:54:01.

drops, and it has taken about ten minutes. This is a difficult one,

:54:02.:54:06.

he's got to slide it up and cut it over the trees come and try to get

:54:07.:54:14.

it in front of the green. Which he has done in fine style. That is

:54:15.:54:19.

almost a miracle shot, he is there, sadly in four. He's going to have to

:54:20.:54:24.

call on all of his talent here to get this close.

:54:25.:54:39.

This is to avoid double bogey at 15. No, Mickelson.

:54:40.:54:55.

Jordan Spieth to save par and to retain a 1-shot lead. He buries it,

:54:56.:55:00.

and he will be the clubhouse leader. After round two, that is quite an

:55:01.:55:08.

achievement. Six consecutive rounds that Jordan Spieth has held or

:55:09.:55:13.

shared the lead, and that ties Arnold Palmer for the most rounds

:55:14.:55:16.

out front. This is for triple bogey. That is a

:55:17.:55:30.

shame, Peter. He played so well all day long, a couple of mental errors

:55:31.:55:41.

and a double-cross on 18. Home in 38 with seven at the last.

:55:42.:55:47.

It is all to play for over the weekend.

:55:48.:55:55.

STUDIO: It's been another day firsts for Jordan Spieth but perhaps

:55:56.:56:00.

not the kind he wanted. The first four putt in that round ever at

:56:01.:56:06.

Augusta and the first round he's been over par here at Augusta

:56:07.:56:07.

National. 74 lots of fun for both of us even

:56:08.:57:14.

though it would be a grind. Hideki Matsuyama's second to the

:57:15.:57:21.

18th of the best iron players in the world, and he was here 1-under for

:57:22.:57:24.

the round, but this one wasn't enough and it would creep back off

:57:25.:57:29.

the fringe and he made bogey for an even par around. He is one of only

:57:30.:57:34.

seven men now under par at the half stage of the Masters and Jordan

:57:35.:57:37.

Spieth has gone backwards but still holds the outright lead at 4-under

:57:38.:57:41.

par, one shot ahead of Rory Mcllroy with Danny Lee and Scott Piercy

:57:42.:57:46.

within two shots. Further down Bryson DeChambeau will regret the

:57:47.:57:50.

events at the 18th, or there will be a few more regrets amongst those who

:57:51.:57:54.

didn't make the cut, including five former champions. There is Phil

:57:55.:57:59.

Mickelson, his first-ever round -- West of around. Ian Woosnam's last

:58:00.:58:03.

time round Augusta 25 years after his victory here. We say farewell to

:58:04.:58:09.

Ian in competition. At the head of the field it's going to be Rory and

:58:10.:58:13.

Jordan, never paired together at the weekend in any event. We are getting

:58:14.:58:17.

ready for live coverage of round three getting underway very shortly

:58:18.:58:21.

today. A whole host of live streams come online from around 4:45pm,

:58:22.:58:26.

including Amen Corner and then we will be on air on BBC Two from
