Day Four - Part 1 Golf: The Masters

The great players in the world have done well at Agusta. Always a dream

to put on that green jacket. It has come true. There it is, a win for

the ages. You have to be a complete player to win the Masters, I think.

That is the way champions do it. Yes, what a man. Terrific stuff. It

will always stand out as the biggest achievement I ever had. What a way

to finish. Oh, what a shot! Never had a dream go this far. It feels

awesome. I had an experience I will remember the rest of my life. Oh,

yes ! . Cabrera takes the green jacket. This is to win. A life

changer. Finally a green jacket. There is something about it, it is

the Masters. Hello, the 10th hole at Augusta on,

this has been a career defining place, life changing spot. Bubba

Watson hitting that banana shot en route to play-off victory. Adam

Scott hitting a 15 foot macro shot here. Where will this year's masters

be decided. Hard to tell, we could crown the youngest, the oldest, a

European, somebody who has already won it. So many questions, with only

five shots separating the top 15 players. The green jacket, take your

pick? Sunday, at the Masters.

It is a day we look forward to, so much every year. Not much room on

this leaderboard, 14 shots separating the co-leaders from the

last man in the field. That close. This final day promises so much

drama. The rookie, Spieth, but the winner has not come from the final

pairing in the last three years. Will it be the chasing pack? Matt

Kuchar, Jonas Blixt. Miguel Angel Jimenez's stunning round yesterday,

he could be the oldest champion ever, 50 years of age. He is

alongside the dangerous Rickie Fowler, to macro shots behind. Might

it be Lee Westwood's chance at last? He is not out of it, Ian

Poulter either. There is the likes of Jason Day, out with Adam Scott,

the defending champion. Jamie Donaldson, four over. Rory McIlroy,

also four over. The former champion, Mike Weir, there is Sandy Lyle,

8-over, through 13 holes now. He began it all for British golf at the

Masters. Play began at 3:10pm. Let me show

you the look of the last five pairings to head out on the course.

Thomas Bjorn, 43 still believes that first major could be within his

grasp. Justin Rose winning the US open last year. Seasoned

campaigners, Lee Westwood, Jim Furyk. Miguel Angel Jimenez, playing

with a star half his age, Rickie Fowler. Matt Kuchar got under way

moments ago with Jonas Blixt. He has made more birdies here than anyone

else, 14 and counting. Just a few minutes until the co-leaders, Jordan

Spieth and Bubba Watson make their way to the first ten -- tee. Some

strong wind today. Could ask questions. We have 15 minutes until

full coverage begins. Keep in touch through the usual channels. You can

tweet us. You can get on our Facebook page. Also the BBC website.

Live coverage is available through our digital feeds. Here is how you

can access those treasures. Has the tournament reaches its

climax, we will have seven live streams available for your mobile,

tablets, desktop, and television. Get close to the world's best, CD

players through Amen Corner. Following ball by ball, or catch up

on Hulls 16 and 15. -- holes. You can watch their right now. You can

have a second screen if you are into multitasking. You can soak it all in

with us. You can do so in the company of my two guests. They have

both come back. Messieurs Peter Alliss and Paul Azinger. And you

assess drama potentially coming up? -- how do you. Very difficult, so

many pockets of joy and sadness. I was get quite emotional on final

days, this is one of the world's great sporting events, not just

golf. If you love the game, you know the sadness, the joy, the

aggravation, the pain, the luck. You try and put it together, explaining

to friends at home, very hard to understand, will be old boys do it?

The young fellows? I don't know. -- the old boys. How far back made this

green jacket be won from? I think the players to -- two under think

they have a chance. Amazing to go to bed thinking you have a chance to

win, and waking up. That night's sleep changes so much. The hard

thing is, when you tee off at 2:40pm, you cannot help project into

the future about what may happen. You think about the negatives, the

positives, not until you get inside the ropes, the sanctuary, you can be

wrapped up in the present. That is the key. The leading up, Peter, so

difficult. Tiger figured out how to do it better than anyone. Until you

were in that sanctuary, you aren't in the moment. For Messieurs Blixt

and Spieth a big day, we have a record crop of young players. These

are the guys making the headlines. He is the youngest 54 hole leader.

The last rookie to win, remember Fuzzy? My mission was to get back

in, I had accomplished my goal, I had won my first play-off. I had

nothing to lose. He thought I got to hit my putt, you think about the

times you have had that putt, practising as a golfer. I am one of

the fortunate few, what a great feeling. The galleries,

unbelievable. It was a dream come true. It sure does not feel like 35

years ago. The numbers are stacking up for the man in green. In 1963

Jack Nicklaus became the youngest champion, 17 years later, usurped by

Seve Ballesteros. 17 years on, Tiger Woods. Yes, it is 17 years since

Tiger's triumph. How likely is a Masters champion, 20 years of age.

It is his maturity. It is given to very few selected people. You can

see them if you are an observer of things. He has been quietly

confident. A good vocabulary, saying the right things. He does not say, I

feel, not things he has rehearsed. I'm going to say this, I'm going to

say that. It comes out naturally. He seems to be in control of things. As

we were saying before, we have to wait for another five or six hours

to see whether he can do it. Golf is a slow game, one of the curses of

the game, you have to much time to think. He has had a lot of time to

think. One old head, a two-time champion, Bernhard Langer, this is

at the 5th hole. A treacherous green. He has done it so many times.

Right in the thick of things last year. A runaway leader on the

champions Tour. There he years. An eagle at the 2nd as well. He then

full for Bernhard Langer, again. Level par, only five shots behind.

Warming up rather nicely. We were talking about Jordan Spieth, let's

get the thoughts of someone who has his own unique take on life in

golf. When it comes to Sunday afternoon, that is when he will get

phased. He may get a Z. There are some reachable par fives, not

exactly gettable. -- tased. Whether you can make a big boy's decision.

It can be a big decision to lay up. Really hard for these guys to do.

Leaving a very typical birdshot. Having said that, Jordan Spieth, he

is the real thing. The best young player I have seen since Tiger

Woods. It would not surprise me to see him get into contention. He is

perfectly capable of winning this event at 20 years old. Do you

agree? I do. He has to improve it today. Going back to what Peter

said, it takes forever to play this game, a golf swing only takes one

second, if you shoot 70, that is only a minute or two. The rest of it

is thinking. If I was counselling Jordan Spieth, I would tend to look

down the driveway. You are going to see these for 20 or 30 years, just

focus on them. It is about a bunch of guys you are going to see for the

rest of your life, and celebrate with. Get your mind off the

magnitude of this. These guys are just as nervous as he years. You

ready has a green jacket, his playing partner, Bubba Watson. He is

trying to put a second one in his locker in the Champions' Room.

The nerves are getting to Bubba. Get up there, Bubba. Oh, no. What a

shot! And why not? The first time in 25 Majors he has played where he has

been co-leader after 54 holes. A new experience, Ken has been analysing

his remarkable swing. Give us your benefit of wisdom about this swing?

He has been swinging with confidence, he shapes the ball a

mighty distance. He has been fading his tee shots. This is a very

idiosyncratic action. Huge clubhead speed. Just watch this in slow

motion. Look where his hips are pointing. His right toe, going

further and further back. Enormous turn. His hips are pointing to the

back of the tee. All the power on the ball, 183 mph. His feet, jumping

out the way. You cannot teach that. Watching that swing reminds me of

the quote that those of us make the mistake of thinking that the power

comes from your arms and hands whereas they do nails at the bottom

of your shoes to tell you where the power comes from. Look at his hips

as they Owen Coyle and then watch his feet. They look as if they are

pushing in two the ground. The arms and hands just carry the message.

Yesterday it was the story of Bubba. He looked a little bit tentative

early on. What were your thoughts on that? I can tell you from personal

experience, when I came up short, I got nervous. It is a problem in the

mind. You are thinking defensively, you are thinking about not leaving

yourself a long putt coming back. You get so cautious and so defensive

that you are sabotaging yourself to the point where you are leaving

yourself difficult second putts. If we look at the slow motion of this.

You would never hit a putt like that in practice. It is the pressure.

Joking is in your head. You just cannot let it go. If you could play

golf in real-time as you do in practice rounds, it would be great.

There is one man hanging around one shot further back and it is Matt

Kuchar. He has had 33 top tens in the last five years. He has always

threatened to win one of the big ones. I wonder how popular a winner

he would be. What would you say are the best qualities about his game?

He has had his bad times. He has played very consistently over the

last five years. The strange thing is, people say he must win, but he

is very successful. Most of us come in two sport to make a living. Not

many people can be the greatest player but if he wins he smiles.

This was at the 15th. This was an utterly remarkable chip. He said it

was one of the best of his life. I think he said it was the best shot

of his life. I love his quote afterwards, I think he said, golf

will be due up enough on its own, I don't want to help it along by

beating myself up. He has that great mindset that it takes to play well

in major Championships. I said yesterday, nobody temperamentally

weak can win this tournament. He was eighth last year and he was only two

shots off the play-offs a couple of year ago when Bubba one. Let's get

out to Rishi Persad and he is with a man, one of our colleagues from New

Zealand, who had a fourth place finish behind Nick Faldo in 1996. I

am sure you know who I am talking about.

Frank, a fascinating day in store. At the top, the Watson and Jordan

Spieth, they are sharing the lead, but with very different mindsets.

You have got a 20-year-old who does not seem to be affected by anything

which is absolutely amazing. Meanwhile we saw the frailty of

Bubba Watson which in some respects makes you very endearing. He made

two really good par putts at 17 and 18 which I think will bode well for

him today. It would be very unusual for Bubba to struggle to days in a

row but to have 14 guys within a few shots, Blixt might become the first

first time ever to win. It is perfect weather. Justin Rose and Lee

Westwood in particular, the person many people say deserves a major

win, what about their chances? They are in the situation with Nick Faldo

was in 1989. Only twice in the last few years has the winner come from

outside the last two groups but if you look at the last few holes on

this golf course, if they can get going through 13 and 15 and make a

birdie at 17 or 18, it is going to be in posing. They have got to get

to five or 6-under on a day like today. At the moment, it should be a

second shot golf course. All locations are more or less identical

to what they were last year so they should be no surprises. Justin Rose

has played well to days in a row. There could be encouraging signs for

a first European winner since Jose Maria Olazabal. In total, six

Europeans have won the Masters and three UK golfers. An Englishman, a

Scotsman and a Welshman. But of the names currently in the frame for

Europe, which one would you give the greatest chance to? I was very

impressed with Justin Rose and the way he won the U.S. Open last year.

But we often say, when we are chatting away over a cup of tee,

that it is just good fortune, you might hit a shot that goes like

that, or you may take a shot and get the result that McIlroy did. You

mentioned Justin Rose and unique situation where he should have gone

back in two the water. Perhaps that is the spark. He starts a few shots

off the pace. Paul, for you, the best chance for a European? Whoever

putts the best. You have got to make the putt when it matters the most.

Bubba Gables a field yesterday that he did not feel well. If he plays

well today he can overpower the course. I expect Westwood to be the

best European. His game under pressure is almost always

unflappable. It is around the green he gets in trouble. The fact it

always comes down to the putt is the only reason Westwood has not done it

yet. Interestingly it is Jonas Blixt and Jimenez from Spain are the only

players who have not had a three putt all week. M, that 66

yesterday, equalling Fred Couples as the best player -- oldest player to

make 66, he is just the kind of character that would be a wonderful

popular winner. Definitely, everybody loves Jimenez. His

demeanour. Anybody who can fire up a cigar at 9:30am in the morning, I am

a fan of that guy. A ponytail on the golf course is also quite cool. He

batted well, that can carry over. It is amazing what that eight hours of

sleep can do to your body. Golf is such a hard game. I think the fact

they have not had a three putt, that carries on so watch out. As we watch

Bernard Langer padding. It is interesting to note that Jimenez, 12

birdies this week, eight of them have been made at the par fours. He

really is playing very well on the ordinary holes and it is on the

other ones he seems to have struggled. You mention Lee Westwood,

how do you assess his chances? What is critical today? I think the tee

to green game is going to be good. I don't think he makes mental

mistakes. It is how he can do on these lightning fast greens.

Watching events very closely is going to be the European Ryder Cup

captain because events at Gleneagles in September and October are coming

upon us very quickly. Gleneagles Ryder Cup captain, Paul

McGinley, beside me. It has been a tremendous effort from the European

players. Take me through their challenge today. They have got a

chance. They are going to have to play well. But they are obviously

all playing well. Jimenez, the lowest score of the week, Sony is in

form. He was the standout player in the Asia cup. He has got a bit of

form at the moment and he has got a lot of heart. Three times he came up

the 18th hole and twice he birdied it. That is one example of what he

is like. You will be formidable but fingers crossed for them all. You

know so many of the players, guys like Lee Westwood looking for that

first major, Justin Rose. What would be your advice to them? They know

the game better than I do but the big thing is, with so many guys

around you, it is trying to run a race. If you are looking at the guys

around you, you are not looking forward. Keep your strategy, be

focused on your own game and try and run the race as fast as you can and

at the end look around to see how you have done. The back nine,

looking at the pins, there are some birdie and eagle opportunities. The

front nine is a little bit tougher. I can see few fireworks on the back

nine. That gentleman's workload as a Ryder

Cup captain, it will be tough, but Jimenez also looking to be the

oldest player to appear in the Ryder Cup. We are in the beautiful

surroundings of the driving range but let's get in two the engine room

of our operations at Augusta. It is the commentary box.

It is not all glamour at August in. Some people have got to sit in the

commentary box. It is quite a nice little cosy situation. We all sit

around in a circle and this is where I put all my commentary notes. The

scoring computer helps you with the scores. A nice clear monitor to see

the play. Your microphone. And then I have a few notes. I call it my

yardage card. I don't know why. It is a piece of paper with one or two

notes, the names of the hole, and then one or two extra bits and

pieces that I might find useful. I have kept them for the last ten

years or more and this is the group of the last ten years for the final

day. It gives me a chance to compare with the pins are going to be. Just

looking at the 18th hole, down at the bottom, the pain last year was

on nine and forth from the left. Nine and six from the left, nine and

five from the left, you start to get a pattern. All the way through, it

has been the same. I am just going to check with today's pin position.

Surprise, surprise, there is the 18th. It is nine and four, classic

final day pin position. I sit Ian White cosily, sometimes bits and

pieces collected around -- I sit here quite cosily. This is where we

announce all the action. Ken is going to be doing a Facebook

question and answer at 8:30pm your time answering questions on how to

improve your game. He has got a lot on his plate this evening, it would

appear. Meanwhile, a lot on his plate out on the golf course, Ian

Poulter. He began five shots off the pace and let me update you on his

progress by showing you at the long par-5/3, I beg your pardon, the

second. This is where Louis Oosthuizen got that remarkable

albatross a few years back. That has given him a chance at a birdie. I am

sure he will be trying to chase the leaders, starting from five shots

behind. This is the situation. A little bit of movement. John Senden

was in the leading group going out on Saturday. He is 1-under after the

first. Jordan Spieth is about to get underway. Bernard Langer has been

moving steadily. These gentlemen probably not going to be featuring

at the latter end of it unless something remarkable happened today.

Mike Weir grinning at the rear. The first lefty to win the Masters. By

around half past midnight, we should know who will be measuring up for a

Green Jacket. But what makes a champion?

What does it take to win at Augusta? Resolve.

Nerve and determination. If you have got those two working well, you

never know. Be the best thinking man on the golf

course. Now you know how to master the

Masters, from the menu have. So many qualities required, is this

final round and enjoyable experience? How stressful can it

be? The most stressful golf course in the world. We normally think

about that in the swing. Extremely difficult, the luck factor is

difficult, the pressure is mounting as the day goes on. The players are

nervous all morning. He does not build until later in the day. --

it. You can be sure the winner will be happy. If you ask them, honestly,

did they enjoy it? It is beautiful, organised beautifully. Did I really

enjoyed playing? The answer will be, not really. It is like putting on

the top of this table, they used to call it Fletcher's trolley. There is

no grip, if you putt on marble. There will be a few marble

staircases today. I wonder what awaits us today. In the commentary

box, Ken Brown and Andrew Cotter. Good afternoon, warm out there. Ian

Poulter, for par on the second. Nicely done. Just looking from the

UK point of view, we want someone to make a bit of a challenge today. I

remember when Sandy Lyle won, the N'Diaye played -- the only year I

played. This is his tee shot, 180 yards. Give us a chance to see that

Sunday pin. An outstanding tee shot, a bitter breeze about. Just

freshening a fraction. Well done, Sandy. -- bit of. Darren Clarke, he

has lost a bit of weight. Is that Andy Sutton? Looking at the tops of

the trees. This wind will have a huge effect on the final round. The

familiar Sunday pin position, 153 yards. He says, go, stick. It is

swimming. Very nearly a good shot, that sums up Agusta. Topple off the

edge, in real trouble. That is the leaderboard, Jordan Spieth and Bubba

Watson, friends, despite their age, on 5-under. Matt Kuchar and Jonas

Blixt on four under. John Senden the only one to go out on that top of

the board. Bernhard Langer doing well. Ian Poulter, par on the

second. Gary Woodland got it going yesterday on the front nine. Just

slowing down on the back. Jason Day ruled out by his first round. A

little bit rusty after his problems with his thumb. Rory McIlroy, after

Hicks -- six holes, is 4-under. A beautiful setting. Here is the young

man, does not do anyone think tremendously well, does everything

well. All friendly with his playing partner, Bubba Watson. A little bit

of fibreglass, just checking on his alignment. These two guys are first

and third in regulation, a lot of talk about how well you have to

putt. Very relaxed, see how we does on the putting services. All very

friendly. We will go to the 16th green, Sandy Lyle, yes! Back to

8-over par. Fred Couples. Well done, Fred. A rare birdie at number one.

Macaroni, in the trees. -- McIlroy. A loose tee shot, he had a route

through. Stops there, go back. Very close once it has finished, he has

read it well. Go on, keep going, make it easy for Rory. Well done,

currently 1-under for the round. We saw Bubba Watson driving, he likes

to fade it right to left. He has a draw with his short irons. This was

on the par five yesterday, going out to the left, judged very well.

That was his eagle chance, he popped it in. This is very friendly! The

last pairing out. Jonas Blixt in the background, the penultimate group

with Matt Kuchar. Jonas Blixt may well be a contender for the European

Ryder Cup team. Francesco Molinari, his third at the 15th. He's 12-over

par, that to get back to 11, a struggle. Just working on their

rhythm, the patrons come in at eight o'clock in the morning, putting

their seats into position. You have to do a comedy speed walk, not

allowed to run. Some of the finest beach walkers in the world! Ken was

having a look around the 10th. The pin is back left for the final

round. A reasonable spot. The key thing is to make sure you leave

yourself the easiest possible putt. Every difficult if you are too far.

You have to leave yourself uphill, a strict putt. If you hit it pin high

left. You don't want to go down the bank. Just going round the green.

You can afford to give that a go. The other putt that is reasonably

easy is this one, right to left. You would be happy to leave it here.

Quite a curve. On the Ben Crenshaw line, a bit shorter. Half a chance.

He start missing to the right-hand side, you have problems. -- if you

start missing. These are the ones, absolutely glassy fast. Now you are

coming down a velvet touch. It still wants to trickle, on, on, on. Beyond

the cup, coming down the slope, a real slider. This is a tricky one.

Probably the hardest one to hold. Not the pace, it turns so much. Left

to right. Sliding across the face of the hole. Number ten, left or short.

All day, you have to leave yourself the easiest possible putts. If you

leave yourself nasty downhill ones, so difficult. You think may hit the

green, you will be all right, but you have to get the right spot.

Darren Clarke, he was in the water. This must be his fourth. Looking

like a double bogey taking him back down to 10-over. The Dutchman, Joost

Luiten. Coming up the 18th. An ice chance to see how some of the

Europeans are playing. -- nice chance.

Four under for the round. That is a gem. A lot of people will take that

today. We got a glimpse of Stephen Gallacher, 2-under for his round.

The round yesterday really am doing him. Let's go to the third,

something has gone wrong for Poulter. Very nearly a birdie

though. Stevie. One of the most reliable swings in the game. Can

shake it either way. -- shape. Hurry. Oh. The wind is helping it

stop. Stephen was asking it to stop. A couple under today. That is what

can happen. Luke Donald chip to their a few years ago -- chipped

from their a few years ago. Francesco Molinari, lives in London.

Italian. Trying to hit this about five yards right of the pin. He did.

The line was perfect. These flags are starting to flatter, it is going

to be a treacherous afternoon. Maybe not as difficult as Friday, but the

breeze getting up to 15 mph. More than enough here. Rickie Fowler,

rising today, usually all in Orange. Those are his Arizona colours.

Certainly a trendsetter. The great Bernhard Langer. This is going to be

handy. Never wasted a single shot, playing, practising. Fascinating,

will be entertaining watching Bubba Watson today. We saw that slow

motion of his tee shot, it is miraculous. Golf is so heavily

coached, he has never had a lesson. He has been Masters champion, in a

prime position to do it again, another way of doing it. Poulter

opened with a 76, has come back well. The other thing about Bubba,

how much he works the ball, moving it through the air, 20-30 yards.

Molinari's birdie attempt. Generous applause. This is Thorbjorn

Olesen on the 15th. Very solid looking swing. That gets a nice

little shoot forward. Two time champion. Well it get

there? Like the short backswing, long follow-through, nearly made it.

First Lady Masters in 1982. John Senden. This for birdie. In she

goes. John Senden getting to two under. He moves up to a tie for

seventh. This is a par putt. Not a nice way to finish. There is his

card. Had a bad around around the turn yesterday. -- bad one. Jim

Furyk. That will go back. You can see the flag, going to be harder.

The pin positions on Sunday slightly more generous, to generate more

roars around the golf course. Still pretty tricky today. This would be a

great way to finish your week. 67, it can be done. One heck of a round.

Excellent front line. -- nine. As they finish, a reminder how they go

out in the next few minutes. Westwood and Furyk under way.

Finally this man alongside Jordan Spieth. The last three champions

have not been any final groups. Who knows? This will be an adventure for

Fred, trying to use the slope beyond the left. Up it comes, has he hit it

hard enough? It is trying. If he had hit it two feet further away.

Second shot of Senden, the short par four third. Just wanted that one to

hop up their step. -- hop up a step. Going back to the first, Jim Furyk

playing alongside Lee Westwood. Jim has played very steadily this

week. Testing one for his par. Thomas

Bjorn stays two under-par. 243 yards this one is playing. He says, be

right. Wrong. This was a couple of years ago, Bubba Watson, out of the

trees, watch it on landing. The spin on that wage, incredible. -- wedge.

A couple of holes later, he was the champion. I am down on the 10th,

where Bubba Watson played that miracle recovery. How on earth do

people get there? How on earth did he get it on the green? He had that

branch in the way, either under or over. An enormous hook, using his

middle wedge, his tee shot would have aimed at that tree, turning the

best part of 50 yards, hard enough to do with a 3-iron, with a

picture, -- pitcher, that is a miracle. Only a genius could do it,

perhaps only Bubba Watson, a special person, didn't he get a special

result? The Mechanic. Wherever he plays,

everyone loves him. Like his wine, likes a cigar, lots are two. At 50,

still going. -- likes his pariah Reid. -- likes his Ferrari. A lot of

applause. That is OK. About is the Rickie Fowler a brute of a par

three. 67 yesterday for Rickie Fowler. Bending right. If you are

lucky enough, the trees are not in your way. Darren Clarke, looking way

left. Settle down. Settle down, go in. Wonderful shot from Darren

Clarke. That for a birdie. Nice start for Lee Westwood he has come

close many times in the last few years. Playing alongside Jim Furyk,

this was his putt for par. Well held. He was there in 97, alongside

Tiger. Right said Fred, birdie at the 1st. Going down the slope. What

a perfect start! They love Freddie here. 3-under, two behind. What a

start to his round, three, four. Down the hill for John Senden. This

is electrifying Lee fast. -- electrifyingly. The ball almost has

a mind of its own. Jose Maria, or -- for a par. Precious for the former

champion. That is his caddy, started as an amateur. Gave up his teaching

job. Will going tremendously well. -- all. This would be a real boost

if he could hold this one. So frustrating. This fourth hole could

end up the hardest one of the course today. Let's see if Darren Clarke

can make his birdie. Yes, he can. Around Amen Corner, this is what

lies in store. Fred Couples making a move, to go to 3-under. Justin

Rose, level par after one. Having dropped a shot at the 1st. Adam

Scott, all went wrong yesterday, his defence of his title.

At the practice ground, a 200 yard walk to the first tee.

Not too bad for Jimenez. The difficulty is, he is standing in the

pine needles. Less stability under his natty shoes. Solid as a rock.

Stay right. Did not bounce. Non-English speaking people still

chat to the ball in English! He has been all, Ricky, a straight shot. --

all right. Well done. 321 yards off the tee. A

little bit of help from the breeze, from behind. Does that go with

green? Despise anything goes with a green jacket. -- I suppose anything

goes. Managed to get out of this one OK. This is the slope on the

seventh, you'd think that is not too bad, that it gets better and better.

Never give up on your shot. Hold fire on the applause until it has

absolutely finish. Look where he is aiming this putt, outside the hole.

Sometimes you think you are aiming to far, and close the club face. --

too far. He is aiming up there, and around she goes. Nicely done,

dropped a shot at the 1st, should get it back at the 2nd. If he does

roll that in, he will be four behind these two, still chatting. Jamie

Donaldson, perfect tee shot at the 10th. He has left himself high

right. Interesting watching the psychology of the two of them, so

close on the practice ground, so close on the putting green. They are

great friends, that fierce rivals today. You would never get Tiger

doing that, or Nick Faldo. They would keep themselves to themselves.

His first appearance, from Dallas, Texas, world ranking of 13. Texas

has had more winners of the Masters, 12, Hogan, iron -- iron Nelson,

Crenshaw. One of my favourites. From Thailand,

at the 16th. Not far away from being viewed. -- being good. Very nice.

Matt Kuchar now driving! 73, 71, 68. He went to college in

Georgia, lives here. Might it be his day? He always seems to aim right

with his feet and left with his shoulders.

That is far enough back in the bunker. It is a deep bunker. He

might have a chance. Jonas Blixt can give it a big old crack off the tee.

I think that is an absolute snorter. Top of the hill, not much run, good

drive. He has announced his debut. Hunter Mahan at the 12th. My first

look at the 12th, having just gotten any proof, a very difficult hole

location in the back right corner. He will probably go straight at it.

He has! What a shot! As you were saying, very difficult. A whisker

from A1. -- a one. The colourful Rickie Fowler. It is going in. What

a lovely start. I am not too sure about the hat. I think it was made

for giant haystacks or somebody. Here is Fred. A mammoth tee shot at

the third. He still takes it out to the right, playing safe all the way.

That is a clever decision, bailing out a little bit to the right. There

is no more than 12 feet between the front of the green and the back.

Donaldson at the 10th for birdie. This is so fast.

Jose Maria Olazabal at the 13th. Not an easy shot. Did he make good

contact? He did. A great shot. Fred Couples, after a pretty good

bunker shot, unlucky he did not get closer, nice putt.

Stadler, using one of the longest putters around. And it works very

well indeed. Well, well. The Mechanic. A portly shall, not a

very good second. A poorly hit putt as well. A tough start.

Donaldson at the 11th. He pushed 30 way back in two the trees at the

11th. -- the tee. That is a good drive. A dangerous hole, the 11th.

It all depends on the line here for Kuchar.

Maybe a few butterflies there. Watch for the pattern. He has missed two

shots in a row to the right. Sometimes it is hard to release it

when the pressure is on. Much of it is news. Adam Scott, getting away to

a poor start again. Here is his shot in two the seventh green. That could

be very nice if it keeps turning. Extraordinarily nice. It might go

in. It ran out of steam. But that is a certain three. Big applause for

the final period. -- pair. Absolutely perfectly shot for

Blixt, just looking right at it, get! There is a little backstop

behind the hole and it is well protected in front by a mound. That

will go all the way of the green. He would have known before he hit that

that he must carry and he just misjudged it. It was not 1 million

miles away. Furyk, at the second, for a birdie.

A very smooth putting style. Wouldn't this be nice? A wonderful

second shot. This four and evil. Always too high. -- any legal.

Westwood getting his final round underway. Here he is at the second.

This for a birdie. I hope that is not going to be the familiar pattern

of yet another day. Well struck putts just missing the hole.

McIlroy played a terrified shot and he capitalises. You never know.

Three in a row. A nice way to end the front nine. I always felt like

there were only a few occasions when your heart could be so strongly that

you could feel your pulse in your fingertips and Jordan Spieth is

probably feeling that right now. Let's go over to Fred on the fourth.

They have given the players a little bit more room. 245 yards. 243 today.

Here is the scene around the first tee. Interesting the style of

announcement. It is all very low-key. No microphone for the

announcers. It is a very simplistic name. Listen to this.

Jordan Spieth now driving! That is the announcement. Let's see

how his nerves are. The first 45 minutes will be crucial.

I saw him let go of the club several times yesterday towards the end of

the round. He may be OK there. Bubba Watson now driving!

Amazing style. Just watch the footwork. Fred Astaire he is not but

it is interesting. That either pitched in the top of

the bunker all over the top and bounding up the fairway. And so the

final period stride away. -- pair. Here is a list of people who have

won twice or more than twice. Ian Poulter at the fifth for a

birdie. Parra is a good score at the fifth.

Blixt ran back of the green. Not the best of chips. An awkward one

though. Having hit a SuperDrive, he has got a 12 foot putt faux pas. --

4-part. That is OK. That is what he was

trying to do. Kuchar missed the green. Chipping

back. He played it beautifully. That will calm him down a little bit if

he needed calming down. The new style of golf shoe

fascinates me. They are almost like carpet slippers now.

Rickie Fowler forced to lay after his tee shot at the second. That is

a little bit unlucky. That ball has been pitching forward ordinarily but

that is a super shot. Blixt at the first. That will settle

him. Only 17 more to go. Jamie Donaldson. A nice one. I think

the new players here for the first time should be very pleased with

their efforts. This is a big experience, coming here for the

first time. A difficult putt for Justin Rose. He

has not hit it. That is nothing more than about six feet.

Freddie at the first of the short holes. He has got a nice touch.

Don't underestimate Freddie. He has been able to win regularly on the

Champions Tour. If you get used to winning, you can carry it in two

these events. Thomas Bjorn gets to 3-under.

Jordan, can you squeeze one this to the front of the green? I think he

can. Just a nice little bump. Use the fairway.

He has got a very lofted club. Bobby Jones says this course is supposed

to be played along the ground. Modern golf dictates it is very

seldom played along the ground now. That could be very nice if it just

comes over the top and stays. Will it come back? It is just going to go

too far. No, it is going to be OK. A good result. Some of the Texas

heritage, being able to take a lofted club and hinted that no. That

is how he grew up, playing in the winds of Texas.

Now Bubba Watson playing a ball slightly above his feet. If it is

below your feet, then heel catches. He may catch this cleanly.

It seemed to be a good head. Yes, it was. I think he loved the fact the

ball was above his feet. Well done. That will steady venues. Absolutely.

Ian Poulter at the sixth, the second of the short holes. The flag back

right. Steady. That has gone. Cruel, cruel, cruel.

Rickie Fowler's birdie opportunity. Not a lot of movement here. He can

be aggressive. That was a bit unlucky. A confident stroke. That

would have been a nice birdie. McIlroy at the 10th. Very nice first

nine holes. In 32 or 33, young man. That is scampering. Look at it go.

Goodness. Now he has still got four feet left.

Ian Poulter came back off the green to hear. Deciding to put it up the

hill. -- putt. Very good. This will jangle your nerves. You

are going to face those all day at Augusta National, especially on a

Sunday. He has tickled it down. Turn, turn.

No. He made it look easy. He played that

quite beautifully. He did not rely on the slope behind the hole.

Back to the first, the final pair. Jimenez tapped his putt in. Level

par for this round so far today. A good line. It ran out of gas. That

is not bad, considering where his tee shot ended up.

Ian Poulter made that look easy. Another couple of yards off the

tee, he might have had a ten foot putt for birdie. Indeed.

Bubba has got this for a three. A fairly straight at -- putt.

Sliding across. It was always edging away to the left.

Well, this is where you do not want to be. Way over the green on the

food. I don't know how he misjudged this so badly. Anything can happen

here. Look at this shot! Are you kidding me? He will take that, trust

me. Jamie Donaldson, 80 shot at the

12th. -- a tee. That is OK. I think that will likely be the pattern.

Taking it over the bunker. One of the unwritten rules is not to go for

that hole location. Here is a teaser. Good strike.

Unlucky! A good putt. It did not go in. He will be cross with himself.

He drops a shot. A 3-wood off the tee and he has

taken one hand off again. What a break. That is a huge break. That

ball was heading towards no man's land. There is no stopping the ball

once it hits the bank. It could have landed on the road and gone

anywhere. There is a little bit of concern for him right now because he

is letting go of a lot of shots. What will Bubba do here? Will he

take on the bunker? That is nothing but a wedge out. And

being left-handed, that could be awkward.

Rory at the 10th. Blixt. He needs to be careful in

there. If the ball rolls now, no matter what, he will have been

deemed to have caused it to roll because he is messing about within a

club length of the ball. He has taken a drop to that position. Maybe

not. The handbag. The sandwiches. I think he is going to be OK. He

actually has a chance to get this close. Everything will final to the

right. If he can finish somewhere right centre of the green. It could

come around nicely for him. Just hoping to get the distance right

here. Watch his feet and see if he slips.

Thomas Bjorn. This is for par. Hello.

Well, well, well. You never know what is going to happen.

Rory has this big putt across the 10th. Lightning fast. Easy. That

will be an easy to putt for Rory, I feel. If he shoots four or 5-under,

he can still win. Freddie going boldly. He is playing

very nicely for a man played with a bad back for donkey's years. I am

not buying all that bad Baxter. That is the best bad back I have ever

seen. Justin Rose for par at the fourth.

Confidently struck. Never in doubt. Kuchar. Is he going to use the

slope? That could be very nice. That was close. Just a few inches

too far away to be a gimme. Westwood. You have got to go either

a little left or launch it straight up in the air. It is not enough.

Spieth at the second. A lucky break to clatter in two the trees and come

back onto the fairway. That is not too bad. It is the old saying, the

shock that gets you in two trouble will usually get you out.

The crowds on the green. Look how much break he is playing. Keep

going. It is too high. A very good effort. That is OK.

This time the ball below Bubba's feet. The fact that he hit a hole is

helpful. Just trying to get it down the fairway. -- hook. It should be

OK. Stadler for a birdie. Level par. It

could be. It is! Those are the kind of birdie putts

you like to have. Tied for the lead, I'm sorry, just one back, no,

that got into five. The best man out there, Fred Couples, two under for

his round. Trying to become the oldest winner of amen's Major.

Freddie has stayed the course many times, has been here for 30 years.

This one for a par. He is doing very, very nicely.

Westwood, with the difficult second. We have not seen anybody get this

close. Ian Poulter. At the 7th, well done. We are not sure whether that

was a three or four. We will let you know. That is a well holed putt.

That putt was indeed for a birdie three for Poulter. This is needing

precision. As room, by the flag. -- he has.

Ken Brown's return, warming up? It is, extremely interesting. A nervy

start from the last pairing. It is off the right? Just a hint.

Just listening in. Those are the numbers. You start to wonder how

they feel, then you wonder how they are swinging. Should be a great

number for Jordan. Really does pinch the ball, pretty

good. Justin Rose. 455 yards at the 5th

hole. That one will test him. The pin is that the narrowest part of

the dream, he is OK, a good break, heading down. Now Westwood. The

close, but no cigar award. Not that one, two beauties straight out that

did not go in. Jamie Donaldson, the pine straw very skiddy under foot.

Go on, be lucky. Terrific shot. Just clipping it off the top of the

straw. I wish we had a heart rate monitor on somebody hitting that

shot. I bet it goes up 25 beats per minute. Though D4 Westwood. That is

the nemesis! -- bogey for Westwood. Double bogey, will lack in his dream

of wearing the green jacket? We have seen some saw moments and

some great moments. -- sore. It has produced some of the best moments on

BBC Two. You can relive some of them soon.

Sports on BBC Two, 15 not out. Both's Ashes, a moment of genuine

glory. I remember the last ball. You wanted it not to finish. How can you

get 18.5 million people to watch a game of snooker? Join me to

celebrate 50 golden years of sport on BBC Two.

Another documentary about one of the great prospects in British golf,

Charlie hole, who almost nabbed the first women's Major of the year. A

heroine the Solihull cluck Daly two cup -- a heroine in the Solihull

cup. Rory McIlroy, at the 11th. Time to

get brave for Rory. He knows he needs to post. That is really good.

That is a beauty! Lots of scoring opportunities coming in, and Rory is

about to post. Bubba. Just tiptoeing onto the green. Surely not? A

brilliant effort, almost got snagged on the fringe, I thought it was not

going to make it. He will wriggle out with a par at the 2nd. Furyk

with a par at the difficult fourth. No.

Spieth, this to take the outright lead. A sliding left to right,

turning as it dies. What a putt! We have a new leader. 20-year-old

Jordan Spieth, 6-under. Leading by one. Not fazed at all. He did not

even have status, missing the second part of Tour school last year.

Leading the Masters on the final day. Kuchar, you have to be careful

here. That has gone long, tricky, really tricky down there. The wind

will make that even more difficult. Freddie, on the six, difficult shot.

Needed a fraction more. Starting to see some misjudgements because of

the wind. Kuchar selecting to pitch this one.

He has landed it. What a miracle! There are cries of Kuch! What a

brilliant shot, he knows it. The most bunkers, this hole, shortest

par four. I suppose the perfect spot is spinning your second shot up this

right side. Thomas Bjorn now, only three back.

Just a little more. This have to stumble on the green,

as well. -- has to. Freddie, Freddie, what is it about Agusta

that liked him up? Every year. We have heard some amazing roars

through the pines today. Jonas Blixt. Deep breaker, lightning fast.

Stay up! Man, that is total defence. The close-up of the grass,

so tightly cut. Almost French polished. A nice tidy start. Some

breeds helping here. -- breeze. Look at where he started that. Right over

the pine trees, bringing it back in. The further right years, the

better. Stay up. -- right he is. That is ideal, he could get this one

within ten feet. Giving himself a chance. Rose. I saw his mum,

Eileen, hoping Justin would put a good closing around in. Reid, --

Rory. Look out much that one broke, not more than three feet, he played

it about one foot outside the hole. The scoring opportunities begin, how

brave will he be at the 12th? Trickling back down for a brave

second, a straightforward putt. Up the hill. He pushed it a little bit.

His first Masters, doing pretty well, some brilliant form in the

last 18 months. This is this man's 100th round. Plus nine. You brought

up a century of rounds today, reflect on that achievement? I was

told that yesterday by the press, today would be my 100. No idea I had

gone that far. Still a few more to go. Let's hope so. What is it like

out there? How tough is it? Never easy, good conditions, nice and

warm, the ball is going a long way. The greens are pretty smooth holding

certain shots. A bit of wind, yesterday died down, today, ten mph.

Players will be thinking about club selection. On the 12th, and 11.

Thanks for chatting. Going to be green lights all the

way, Rory going straight at it. This is where healthy aggression comes

in. That is OK. Did not want to end his hopes on 12. Maybe played a bit

say. -- safe. Have not had many pars on this fourth hole. The old

man, well done. Two in ten are finding this green at four. A big,

high cut would be ideal. Looking anxiously at that. Settle. OK.

Passing right up the hill, should be straight. This is a nervy little

shot. Elevation, 114 yards, far enough to spin it. As to make an

intelligent decision. -- he has. If you just work it down, the down

breeze will not help. It is only 18 feet from the back, perfect yardage.

Such a dangerous shot. Oh, my goodness! What a state. -- stay.

Pretty good shot. Ian Poulter, on the eighth, six behind, has two

start ramming the birdie chances in. -- has to. That is not like him.

Freddie Couples, at the 7th, we have seen a lot of balls get close today.

That is to the right, maybe. Is it? Comeback. That will feed. Oh, that

will be a fast one. These need all your attention. We

have seen Westwood struggled on the greens. This will take a bit of

magic. Well, you see how scared he was, never got the drive far enough

left. Maybe, Ken, he should have laid up? He could have got closer,

to make life easier. 16th, Thomas Bjorn, 180 yards. Using

the bank on the right. That is OK, the crowd knows it. Westwood,

something have to happen for him, pretty quickly. We have to make a

long one. Coming off double bogey at the 4th, that is not going to make

it. Oliver Goss, he will win the silver

tray fee for low amateur. Naturalised Australian, well done to

him, the only amateur to make the cut. OK, Rory. Will that reach? We

have seen a lots of layers come up short on the 12th, right online.

This have to be hit perfectly, Ken. A brilliant, brilliant effort. He

has left himself a snorter of a putt. His club facing the crowd, the

patrons. A little more laid off. Is it hard enough? Feeding all the way

back down to the front. Justin Rose, the par. That is a nice

effort from Justin Rose, you had to have that. Really had to have that

one. Spieth, on the front of the third green. He has a little bit of

chicken on the bone, left on that one.

Blixt, second at the 4th, oh, boy. That is a good spot to leave it, he

would have liked it closer, as you would. Pretty straight, up the hill.

Here is one that you fear the most, you lose sleep over this one. Being

bowled. Bold. Only 35 yards from the pin, taking

him four to get there. Back to 4-under. Thomas Bjorn. Needs to

clean up this little mess. Has that one of the par. Three shots off the

pace. A reasonable leave from Kuchar, not running away. You wonder

why they are leaving them so short, but the fear is getting past the

hole. Jimenez, seven. Tough hole location. Really hard to get close

to. That is about as well as we have seen anyone go. You see what

happens, it just carries on. Another few inches, it is another 12-15

yards. Well done. A triple four start. The fourth hole is playing

283 yards. Freddie, for birdie. Surprises ball did not go down the

hill. This is, maybe! Oh, my goodness! What a cruel result. That

looked so good, for so long. Stay there surely it is not going

to. This putt coming up will be a real knee knocker. Only one place to

weigh in. That one is gone. -- only one place to aim.

Making me nervous. Spieth, seeing this.

This is his fourth putt. Four putt double bogey, wow. Now a 20-year-old

with a two shot lead. Quite a big bluff. The model was the old course

at St Andrews. These bluffs at the front of the green. Blixt, for par,

he is really looking good on the greens. No three putts yet. Jimenez

and him are the only players left without a three putt. Let's see what

Spieth can do at the 4th. He has been right on the limit of

the iron. We have seen a lots of balls in there. To miss it long is

so penal, you cannot expect a par. The players feel is the best place

to miss is short. Bubba likes to hit a big swinging draw. Room for him to

hit it, and feed around, if he can pull it off. Just checking the

flag. Checking where the wind is coming from. He is one of the few

players who can carry high enough to land it softly on the green. To say

it has to be pin is an underestimation. -- pinpoint.

That is unbelievable, landing it on an area the size of a tee towel.

Beautiful shot, high, perfect shape, coming down softly. Back up the hill

he just came down. Westwood. Well played.

A fairly generous driving area, a couple of bunkers down the left. He

has gone right. Jimenez, at the 5th. Thought he had

a good one, watching that ball in the air, ending up on the back of

the green, he has left himself with a long one. He has putted well, but

these ones test you. Westwood, very nice up and down. If you missed the

right-hand corner, tricky to save your par.

That's one deserved better. -- that one. Just skidded forward, a stroke

going. Poulter, second shot at the 9th, ball below his feet. Tucked up

against the bunkers, difficult angle. Just long. Ken Brown, I know

you were down there at the night. -- ninth. Just wondering up, the pin is

a different position. The ball below your feet. The wind swirling around.

If you look at the putting macro study macro surface, you cannot

afford to come short, on the left, in trouble. Anywhere in the left, a

no-go area. The amber area, this area half a chance of getting down

in macro, very tricky. The green area, unbelievable. Just a patch of

green, pinpoint accurate. Anything short, cannot get back, a difficult

two putt. You are aiming at next to nothing. Coming up short, well, a

big bank. The pin is probably only three yards to the maximum. We saw

Greg Norman coming up short on the final day. Going to roll a couple of

balls down. Watch them go. They are gone. They just keep trickling. From

there it is very difficult to get down in two. The only little area

you can get the ball in his way these speakers are. This little

platform. Get it right, you have got a birdie chance. Mrs anywhere else,

it is either impossible to get down in two or very difficult. It is not

much bigger than a bath towel. I would say it was impossible. That

is lying well. This does not look all that difficult actually. It

appears to be very hard. Maybe not. Maybe not at all. That is what wins

and loses Championships, little miracle shots like that. A wonderful

break of good fortune. Bubba's face remains impassive. They love it. He

moves in two the lead but for how long?

Now is the time we see whether his head matches his physical ability.

What a shock this was. The rhythm was nice, the speed was good, the

direction was not bad. It disappeared. What jubilation. Worth

another look. He has got to get it onto the green. Magic. A bit of

golfing magic. Now Bubba. Having played that sensational shot to

hear, has this to match Spieth. Which he does. Well done.

STUDIO: It is all change and just at that very old which caused problems

yesterday. There was not a single birdie there yesterday. It has

produced two magnificent ones there. Bubba had to hold his nerve having

had to stand and watch Spieth put his name. It really is shaping up

beautifully. This 20-year-old who is trying to become the youngest

Masters champion in history. Ken Brown is going to be a very busy

man. You will be keeping an eye on the golf but he will also be

answering questions on our Facebook page so feel free to quiz him all

you like. Fred Couples at the eighth. The

green is hidden away over the top of the hill. Yes, sir.

The heart races, breathing quickens. Jordan Spieth. 3-wood

year. -- here. That is the perfect look to go in the bunker but that is

a bad miss. One place you want to avoid is in the sand. It did not

hurt him on the last hole. Fair point. Bubba. Watch him crack this

off the top of the egg. -- peg. Hello! That could be down Washington

Road. No, it is all right. That was operating at a low level all the

way, that drive. I wonder if Rory can put in a

steering finish yet. Now in the water. How many have we seen down in

there? Curtis Strange back in 1985 when he drew with Bernard Langer. He

knows that is the end of things. But for another youngster, a different

story. He has won before. Back to the old timer. We have seen

a number of balls, short and go back down the green. Not him, though. It

is a good shot. Thomas Bjorn, this for a birdie on

the seventh. Low. Still far from out of it but those

chances have got to be taken. Still just a couple behind second

placed but for adrift of Jordan Spieth. Four shots around August

though is not a lot. They can go in the blink of an eye.

I wonder where he is aiming. Bottom left.

Kuchar of the fifth. Back she comes. Beautifully judged. Beautifully

read. And executed. Couples at the eighth. On in two,

this big par five at the hill. Has he hit it? Nowhere near. Nowhere

near, Freddie. A drop for Michael Roig. This is his

fourth shot. -- McIlroy. He is going beyond the flag and then

we'll come back. The challenge disappearing. It was a long shot

best. Back to the fifth. Blixt. Running,

running, running. Of all the players, he has looked

most solid. It has been spectacular stuff from other players but he is

moving along quietly. This for Couples. Disappointing. And

he can sit in. Well done, Freddie. There will not be that many golf

clubs celebrating their centenary is in the next three or four years

because of the First World War. McIlroy with a putt that simply has

to drop. Not the last to pay the price chasing a score on the par

fives at Augusta but Michael Roig gone now. -- McIlroy.

Where is that going to end, in the back bunker? Yes. That must have

settled in a little depression. From the other side of the fairway,

Bubba Watson. Trying to get it and then to run

back. Off she goes. It is going to miss on the left but

it is very good. Again, the imagination you need around here. I

am not sure Mr Jones would approve but that is another story. Bobby

Jones never played golf like this, in conditions like this, on courses

like this. Bubba.

Steady. Bunker. Lucky boy. Lucky he is left-handed on this occasion.

One thing I would say about Jordan Spieth, a couple of birdies, but

they have come when he has got out of things. He is not quite as steady

as his scorecard suggests. A 7-iron for Jonas Blixt. I think it

has gone left. It is a monster putt at a very steep

slope and the flag just at the top so the judgement of pace is going to

be slipped -- tricky. Donaldson for an eagle. He usually

putts quite beautifully. Kuchar's turn on the sixth. There is

that very flat swing. All sorts of approving noises. Very well done.

Happy chap. Jose Maria Olazabal, the last

European to win this splendid event. He has had a few birdies today. A

few miscues as well. But back in the old routine. Very well done. 73.

That is good playing, playing with Vijay Singh.

Jamie Donaldson in for his birdie, back to level par. A man who missed

the cut on his debut last year but heading for greater things this

year. No, it was not a birdie. Let's see if Westwood can get his on

the seventh. The number of times he has been short with his second shots

today. He was short on the seventh. Can he do it again? Not 1 million

miles away from the hole but that might come back. Will it?

That was a couple of feet away from looking like a double bogey. He has

made a couple of birdies but it has been a lively few holes. There is a

long way to go yet. Much can happen. We were seeing how Bubba was

fortunate being a left-handed player on this one, but if he was standing

on the other side of the ball, it would be very awkward. He is going

to land it upon the slope. On the edge of the fairway somewhere.

Donaldson. A hole in one last year, I think.

It is going to be good but not quite far enough. A lovely tee shot

though, from the Welshman. Blixt. A long putt. And she goes.

No, it is not enough, but it is not a bad effort from down there.

Spieth. Settle down. It is a bogey at least. He is a very demonstrative

young chap. He talks to the ball, talks to himself. It is going to be

his first bogey of the day. Perhaps worse than that.

Very easy to become frightened on these greens. It is a long time

since I put it on them but you can feel for them once you start losing

your nerve. It is horrendous. Spieth by two.

Couples never had a glove. One sad when ruined in the rain as a

youngster. He has not used one since. Saves a lot of money if you

can do it. Not that they pay for them. Is it going to do what Ken

said it would? Just in. The first dropped shot. He

comes back in two the pack a little bit. He has had a magical bunker

shot so I don't think he has got anything to complain about.

Thomas Bjorn at the eighth, third shot.

Donaldson, his putt for a two on the 16th.

It was a birdie on the 15th, I think. I am getting confused

messages. This is some shot. He has got the

face of the club wide-open. This is a Mickelson special or Tiger Woods

special. There she goes. A great result. What a bold shot. Eight

horrific effort. -- a terrific effort.

STUDIO: We have seen some very special things from Justin Rose over

the last few days. You have got Justin Rose, McIlroy, Donaldson. But

at the sharp end, Jordan Spieth coming back a bit. In trouble on the

fifth. Matt Kuchar is still there and Jonas Blixt is not going away.

And here is confirmation of the British challenge. Back we go to the

2012 champion. It is Bubba. On the sixth.

He likes it, you know. And why not? That is a little bit unlucky but it

could have so easily moved down and gone within two or three feet of the

hole. So much of it is good fortune or luck. One of the only straight,

straight holes at Augusta. Jonas Blixt.

In the lap of the tree gods. I think it might have nestled behind a

truck. Spieth needs to settle down, a

couple of deep breaths. What a question to ask your caddy.

Is it hurting? Meaning, is it against me? He hopes he gets it

right. He has not hit that either. Everyone

has been short on this coming up the green, pitching and hurting from

that side. -- putting. Justin has this nine footer for a

birdie. He needs a little bit of

inspiration, there's Justin. -- does Justin.

To a brightly coloured one, Rickie Fowler. A different way of doing

things. We saw Westwood coming up to the back of the green and rolling

back down. Fowler slightly more conventional.

Ninth hole for Couples. Not a frightening putt from this side.

A good effort, Fred. That is all right.

Two very impressive tee shot on the sixth. Jordan Spieth the better.

They both got you on the fourth and it would be interesting if they both

got too on this one. It is not quite Match Play but they are helping each

other out more than anything. It is on the way. I love watching the

faces of the crowd. They all have their own thoughts.

There is a touch of the Cabrera in that. They acknowledge each other.

That is rather nice. Ian Poulter in the trees on the

11th. Is this his second, I wonder? Down the hill. That could be all

right. Steady, steady. It wouldn't! It has. So nearly a brilliant

effort. Nine more holes to go. That is the

state of it now. Jordan Spieth ahead by one. But all those down to Furyk

or even Jimmy Walker with a chance. The two par fives on the inward

nine. We have seen people get a couple of eagles there. All sorts of

things can happen. The Open Championship is coming up soon.

Lee Trevino to win the Open. Arnold Palmer in the middle.

The Irish! Greg Norman, the champion for 1986.

He has got its! Those cold black eyes. A birdie.

Jack Nicklaus once again. Would you believe that?

Ian Poulter's fourth shot after finding the drink. Such a busy

corner, that corner of water on the 11th. It has seen some action.

Jason Day. A wonderful second in two the 13th. -- in two.

Bubba, like the 18th, he does not like this tee shot. He tries to move

it around. Not too bad there but this one is

dead straight, this hole. Kuchar. His third shot at the

seventh. Steady, steady. Will it come back of this low? It could do.

Jonas Blixt. Just a little bit too far, will feed back down. The

seventh is a table top green. For pars for Blixt. -- all. Spieth, at

the 7th, this is moving to the right. It is going to be OK.

We will see Blixt on the green, trying to save his par. His first

blemish, the Swede will slip back, four adrift.

The seventh hole, they have lengthened it over the years, I

don't feel it has been improved, much more difficult. It used to be a

two iron, the dream has not been altered that much. Some of the

players trying to hit it with a medium to long iron. As Kuchar lines

it up, Ken is back. Thank you. Nicely done, Matt Kuchar, good

up-and-down. Three behind. Cries of Kuch! Interesting, there is 90 yards

between the longest and second longest hole. McIlroy, the ugly scar

over six on the 13th. Another birdie, number five today. Just a

little bit too late. Just fine in the creek on 13. -- of a six. This

one will take the touch of a pickpocket. Not bad. I'm not sure

how his second shot finished there. Poulter, on 11, this for a bogey.

Well holed, he knew it was a touch too far left.

The 16th, Bernhard Langer, still as competitive as ever. Has tried so

many ways of getting the ball into the cup, he won his first Masters

with a putted that originally belonged to me! -- with a putter.

Down in that very well used bunker. Baffled by the breeze. Just look at

the body language, that two has settled him. Looked very intense

earlier on. A little uphill this one. You can

use the slope, beyond the flag. It is a little right, he brought it

back beautifully, right over the flag. Does not want to find a pitch

mark, lovely iron shot, right over the flag. Thomas Bjorn, after that

nasty, nasty first putt. That is for a bogey. A bit of trouble before the

green. They shot goes for Bjorn. -- a shot.

He's just trying to chop one end, Ian Poulter. A funny bounce,

bouncing against the spin. 153 yards, the 12th. Jason Day, his

first round, 75, a bit of rust after his thumb injury. Ruling him out of

contention. This would moving back to level par. Move it. Kuchar at the

par five, not the longest hitters. A big hit reaches the green into macro

from there. Let's look at this hole, the lonely bunker on the right

hand side. A big stretch of Fairway uncovered. Bubba may take it out of

play with a big hit. Over 200 yards. Completely unsighted to the green. A

little mound, into a valley. McIlroy, the second shot into 15.

Looks like he is laying up, maybe not. That is a huge tee shot. A

fairly sizeable second. He got a flyer, the car much green he have to

work with. -- look how much. You can see some juicy grass cuttings on his

face. Where is Bubba going? I can't believe it came out that softly.

Unbelievable. No! How he got it to come out that softly... A stellar

shot. Stunning, in fact. The wonderful shot. An American

dominated leaderboard, Spieth, Watson, Kuchar, couples. -- Couples.

Freddie, Freddie. On it goes. 15 of the top 25 are American. What can

Rory du? -- do? That is a better miss than the other one going into

the water. This green is sitting around trees. Not drying out as

quickly as number 12. The par five not being kind to him. He would not

have expected that. This is straight downhill. Like putting down a marble

staircase. Another gem! He is nerveless. Taking such a wonderful

touch, just to send it rolling like that. Look at that. 8-under. Leading

by a couple. The final round of the Masters, you are in the final group,

making four birdies in the first seven holes. The last two holes,

Felix resettled. -- he looks very settled. Beginning to feel like

these two R Julian with each other. -- are duelling. We have seen some

stunning goal, you par five to come, you know that Bubba can reach

it into macro. A bogey four McIlroy. -- a bogey for matter way.

Put together someone the full golf, but struggling on the par five. --

some wonderful golf. Kuchar, the ball sitting on a 45 degrees angle,

trying to move it in. Right in the throat of the dream, that is pretty

good. Rory, a bit hot under the collar, knows he has had a chance,

13 and 15 painful. I think it kind of likes it. Write down the throat.

-- right. Rory's time will come their, -- here, he has too much

game, too much quality. Hoping this one breaks. The right weight. Now it

is Sandy Lyle's putt. Lovely touch. We first saw this man at the Walker

Cup. Undefeated. Going with a 3-wood, Sony doesn't reach the

right-hand bunker. -- so he doesn't. Jack Nicklaus said he is the best

young talent since Tiger Woods, bearing in mind what Rory has done.

He will enjoy this one. Watch the foot action. Beautiful. He has

absolutely mullered that. Oh, my, goodness gracious, 350 yards to

clear the bunker, he is still rolling. Mullered is the only way to

describe that. That is another birdie format array. -- another

birdie four Roy. -- another birdie for McIlroy.

Well done, good up-and-down. A round of 76 doing the damage yesterday.

We have seen some fantastic shots from Spieth. Such a long time to

choose the club, pinpoint accurate. Magic. The second shot into the

seventh, leaving him this. Full. -- that was dead weight, deadline,

looking like a young master in waiting.

It is all very friendly, you can bet that the intensity will notch it up

as we reach the important back nine. It is Spieth, by two. There is

Donaldson, offered special temporary membership of the PGA Tour. Let's

hear from the Welshman. Jamie Donaldson, missing the cut last

year, much better. You can feel proud? A decent week. Not really

played fantastic, from the start. Scoring great the first couple of

rounds, a bit slow yesterday, disappointing. So difficult around

here, hit quite a few good early shots, did not get anything. A few

tough up and downs. Played well today, the best of the week. Happy

with the way I played. Hopefully better next year? Thank you.

He has been some fantastic form, Jamie Donaldson. -- in some.

The corner of Amen Corner. Wondering if this is becoming a two horse

race. You have all the fun, the danger of the back nine. Spieth and

Watson looking very impressive. Settling into it in the last couple

of holes. Send us your thoughts. Ken Brown, have you been on

Facebook? Only just getting used to the gas! Here is Bubba's tee shot.

He can chase this one with the breeze. Look at the decent distance

between their drives. He may be able to chase this one onto the green.

You can see the top of the TV tower. That is the green. Over to Jonas

Blixt. Just behind the green. I am not sure there could be a better

partner for Jordan Spieth and Bubba Watson. Bubba not likely to

intimidating, too much of a cuddly character. Amazing clubhead speed.

Kuchar, on the eighth, we have seen a lot of players come up short. And

add another to the list. Jordan Spieth is waiting, suggesting he

thinks he can scare the green with his second shot.

Four under two Kuchar, 8-under for Spieth. -- to Kuchar. In the water.

That is a dark and terrible place. That is a water hazard. I know there

is a Boom Drop. -- ball drop. We saw Justin Rose rattle it in for his

birdie. Very well done. First birdie of the day. Straight back after that

dropped shot. The leading non-American, doing very well. There

is a look at the green. A crumpled duvet. Back to our leader. If he

gets this flying high with a better draw, he may be able to reach. The

wind is helping. Just aiming a little right. Settle down. A little

bit of room, waiting out of courtesy. Trying to turn it over.

Bubba, a middle iron. 232 yards, he has some spin. Unlucky, Bubba. Just

hitting it up to the green commerce winning -- up to the green, spinning

away. 45 under on the par five holes. A nice shot from Lee

Westwood. Miraculous things have happened on the back nine at the

Masters. Jimmy Walker, twice a winner this

year on the PGA Tour. Has had three birdies on the last four holes. 35,

his first Masters, hanging MNA sons. -- having a renaissance. Just over

the bunker. The wind is picking up. Things are hotting up.

He is in the trees, the pine straw. Oh! A flicker of life, then it went.

Oh, hello! He is fine! Does not know it! This will test you out. Gone a

little too far. Nice judgement of pace. How is the lie? Ricky! Ricky!

Fantastic. That is just for a par, still a great putt. He would do it

again, whatever it is for. Birdie at the 1st, bogey at the 2nd, all the

rest, par. Some, quite Matic. -- quite dramatic. Jonas Blixt, like

this one. That is nice. -- likes. You want to get the shortest

possible iron to the flag. Watch this win, a tall man, very flat. --

this swing. Quite low. It all adds up, a big

hook into the trees. Freddie, taking a drop. We said there was a bit of

green tee play with. -- to play with. It just slides underneath.

Going quite low. I don't think he can believe it. That stopped right,

at the crest of the hill. 17, McIlroy. If you want to watch Rory

McIlroy, and Jimmy Walker, you can watch it on our special feed.

Online. It is worth seeing again, a fantastic effort. May not catch the

slope, you look like a fool. Perfectly judged. The ball never

leaving the surface, you can hear the crowd. Very popular, Rickie

Fowler. These rules, Jordan Spieth will hear them all, all part of the

Masters. -- roar. Just looking at the computer, remarkable rate has

been levelled par -- Rory McIlroy has been levelled par for the week

on the par fives. Quite remarkable. Before we go to Spieth, let's go to

Jimmy. That is not to be. Spieth, Kuchar, Blixt, Fowler. This is not

easy. He's going down the slope, quite slippery. It would not scare

you. It needs a bit of touch. Can he get it to the hole? I wonder what it

is that is fooling them? You are on a high spot, the grass looks a bit

shy. Fingers crossed. Peter Alliss is just putting on his

headphones and getting his trigger finger ready. It is getting more

exciting. That is what we expect. Touching one down the hill.

What do you make of it all, Paul? So far, nerves of steel. Jordan Spieth

shocked that his third did not get closer. Everybody has left this putt

short. Bubba is sitting well for a birdie. It is very situational now.

It is almost match played in their mind. They could be level in a

minute. That is his first three putt of the tournament. I don't think

that is a sign of nerves, it is more a bad break and a misjudgement.

Everybody has left that putt short. It is a nasty one. Now Bubba has an

opportunity to tie for the lead.
