Day Three Golf: The Masters

Hello. Glad you could join us. Your timing is perfect, because something

special is brewing here at The Masters in Augusta. We have got what

we wanted - two of the game's young superstars head to head in the final

pairing in round three. Between them they have won four of the last six

Majors. Jordan Spieth is only the fourth man successfully to defend

The Masters title. Rory McIlory is chasing something even bigger - a

green, either,, and with it, a career Grand Slam. Only one shot

separate them. Only seven men are under par in what has been a very

breezy week. For a while it look like it would never get that close.

For some, the drive up the famous Lane must feel like coming home.

Jordan Spieth arrived short on form but was then transformed as he put

in a 66, a round, like this place itself, without blemish. Rickie

Fowler shot 80, and Ernie Els fell to the putting madness in his head.

Then there were those two would rise to the challenge. Shane Lowry would

finish with a 68 - four under par. And what of Rory McIlory? Some good,

some bad. Stumbling over the final three holes, but 70 - a solid start,

four shots behind the even younger master, leading The Masters in this

extraordinary place. In round two, McIlory was on the move, initially

with steps forward and find before getting birdies on 13 and 15. And he

had to move, because Spieth had started well, at one stage getting

to eight under. Was this to become another Spieth parade? Tom Watson,

one of the greats, took his leave. Ian Woosnam would also say fell

well. But today's generation was struggling. Paul Casey, Ian Poulter

and others faded on a day when no-one would break 70. On the back

nine, Jordan Spieth started to flap in the wind. The best golf was

coming from the precise engineering of a matter Bryson DeChambeau, until

his machinery broke down. Which left Spieth to recover his poise and

retain his lead - now a slender lead. And to ensure a meeting with

McIlory on the weekend at The Masters.

At one point, McIlory was eight shots behind, but they start today

separated by only one shot. Spieth having shot the first over par round

in his Masters career. McIlory did well yes, today on a brutal day for

scoring. Danny Lee is tied for third with Scott Piercy. Three shots back,

Soren Kjeldsen and Brandt Snedeker. Sheffield's Danny Willett is another

of nine UK players to have made the cut. Australia's world number one

Jason Day is not that far away, either. The halfway cut fell at six

over, four shots higher than it was last year, in maddening winds. Phil

Mickelson posted a 79, his worst score at Augusta, and he misses the

weekend, as do many other former champions. Tom Watson bids farewell,

as does Ian Woosnam, also announced that this is his last Masters as

well. We will be hearing from him later. But look to the wind has

blown into our studio today. Could this weekend be even better set up

vanities? No, I don't think so. I have been coming for more than 40

years and I have seen it a lot worse than this. But it is risky. The

course is in very good condition, as always, even though they knew the

wind was going to blow, 90% of the flags are in almost impossible

places, so they have not become soft-hearted overnight! We have all

the best players in the world here, so there will be something for

everybody. Paul, when we look back at that round from Jordan Spieth

yesterday's, going over par for the first time here, but it has opened

up this tournament? Yes, and he was not the only one who'd struggled.

There is a lot of pressure here at Augusta National. You think you have

hit a great shot and it does not quite stop, and the next thing, you

are on the other side of the lake. It is a terrifying golf course,? Is

difficult to be comfortable on at any moment. It brought everybody

into a big cluster. What for you, Peter, has been the most difficult

aspect of the conditions? They must be the worst in almost a decade? I

don't think we should get carried away with how strong the wind is.

Players have been out in a lot worse than this. It is the condition of

the greens, the speed of the greens, the position of the flags, the

contours, the way they cut the grass, all sorts of things, which

normal folk do not take into account. As Paul just said, you can

think you are safe by 12 yards on the 15th, and suddenly, it is down

there. It borders on unfair, sometimes, in my opinion. A very

frustrating golf course to play everyday, I would think. And if you

play poorly at Augusta, it seems to linger longer. If you miss the cut

at the US Open, you go back out there the next week... But at

Augusta, it feels like it exposes all of your weaknesses to me. If you

are not a high ball hitter, cannot play at Augusta. If you do not know

how to clip it off the tight grasp on to us if you play poorly here, it

has a long-lasting effect, I feel. And it does not help when you have

got 80mph winds, north-westerly,, which will affect them at the par

fives. Gusting at 25mph, as it has been. This is at the 7th. Justin

Thomas has got something like 8ft for par, and the wind just takes it.

And it goes about 45ft past. That is the danger, just as we saw last year

at the open championship. The 11th at St Andrews last year, out on the

peninsula, was really exposed to the wind. And the 7th as well. Straight

downwind today. It is a game of degrees. Could be fun! If you watch

that picture again, I am not saying it is easy, but he hits it, and he

is like this before it has gone that far. So really, if you just... If!

It was one of those, to start with! Your ball flight has to be

predetermined here at The Masters. Great wind players do not

necessarily excel here. Most of them think they can change the trajectory

of their ball flight, but here, you are required to hit the ball in the

air, in most cases, up wind or downwind, does not matter. Jamie

Donaldson had four putts on the same green, by the way. We are about 20

minutes away from the start of coverage. We have about 15 minutes

until the leading pair of Spieth and McIlory go out. This is how it looks

right now. There is not that much forward momentum on the leaderboard,

as you can see. We have got Matsuyama level, having played the

first. Jamie Holmes -- JB Holmes has picked shot, as has Bernhard Langer.

Smylie Kaufman has been doing great things on the PGA Tour. But Jordan

Spieth is ready to go out. He has known nothing other than the final

pairing at the weekend here. He has been the outright lead in each of

the last six rounds, but he had a torrid day yesterday's. These were

his reflections on that round, with Rishi Persad. Jordan, a different

day today, how do you look back on that 74? Not as a 74! We kept the

lid, but I need to learn from what I did on number five, a few different

holes, where, even though we caught tough breaks with the wind, compared

to what it should have been doing, I then kind of shot myself in the foot

and gave away two or three shots today from my decision-making on the

next strokes. There is nothing you can do about gusting winds. You hope

you are on the good side of it more than the bad. But I did not leave

myself are correct leafs after that. I learned from that, and I will do

so again. Bound to catch the wrong side of some gusts tomorrow. I will

do my best to make four in that situation. Difficult to control the

emotions when you are being tested like you were today? Yes, of course.

And when you still have more difficult holes left and you're

trying to figure out how to keep the ball on the green... I mean, I did

not hit many greens at all invigilation today. When you are

trying to chip onto these greens, it is just so challenging. It can wear

on your bit. Leading The Masters going into the weekend, what are you

feeling right now? I feel fine. You should never say you are

disappointed, because I am not. At the same time, I have the chance

today to separate myself a bit - and I didn't. It is going to be very

much a battle these last couple of days. I want to find a nice

consistent ball flight that I can play in this wind and just do what I

can to hold the middle of the greens. We spoke to Rory today and

he said how much he enjoyed the prospect of locking horns with you.

What do you think about that, no disrespect to the other players?

Yes, I think it will be very exciting. Hopefully the next couple

of days bring out one of the better battles that have ever happened

here. That would be a lot of fun if I was a part of that. Rory has

proven himself in Majors. I think it would be a lot of fun for both of

us, even though it will be a grind. Look forward to it.

Still only 22, behaves like a veteran. What characterised his

round for you, Peter? Well, he just hit a few shots, which did not go in

the right place. Golf is more simple than a lot of us, and then, try and

make out. The conditions can make it difficult. If you hit the fairways

and the greens, and you don't 3-putt, you are a very good player.

That is where I disagree with my darling friend here, 70% of the ball

to have won The Masters never hit the ball more than 20ft above the

ground. People laying up on the par fives and pitching up. Only about

eight people in my memory have ever hit it up there. They have links and

the course over the years -- they have lengthened the course over the

years and it has become more obvious that if you can do that on some

holes, then it is very good. But you only have to look at the list of the

winners. Not big ball hitters. If you go back 30-40 years. But this is

the fascination. Spieth appears to be, as I said before, from another

world. There is a calmness about him, almost as if he has got the

genes of about ten geniuses from a thousand years ago! Very true! We

are so used to seeing him in control, but there were a couple of

moments, particularly with his caddie, which we have not seen a

great deal of. I know they can pick a, but this was on a different

level. That is not the question I asked you. When you fall out with

your partner, I usually give him the silent treatment, but there was none

of that! This is a new Jordan Spieth. Two years ago, he did a lot

of chirping with his caddie. You do not need a broadcast team when

Jordan Spieth is playing - he will give you all the analogy you need.

It is not new to him. People thought he acted like a spoiled brat here

two years ago. Last year he won it and followed up with the US Open.

That is just kind of the way he is. He likes to deflect. It is about we,

it is not I, it is we. That is just the way his mentality is. He has

surrounded himself with the people he trusts, and for him, it is a we

philosophy. And here he is on the range. About six minutes before him

and Rory go back out. A really fighting performance once again from

heat, particularly with that saving putt at the 18th. It is a vicious

mental battle out there. You do not get much silence. As soon as you hit

the shot, you look up and you have an interest in that shot. You have

got to win these mental fights. Jordan Spieth, he wins a lot of

mental battles. When you are standing over a putt like that, and

you have got to make it, you have got to stroke the putt with

certainty. Commitment is not swinging harder. Rickie Fowler said

it - it is swinging with more certainty. That is what the best

players do when they are playing their best. There is plenty of

conviction as well with Rory McIlory, Newsround yesterday's was

only one of four under par. As tough as conditions were today,

how much did you enjoy playing those 18 holes? I enjoyed the back nine,

for sure. I had a bit of a wobble on the front nine, but I kept my

composure. I had a go at trying to play the front nine under par. I was

not able to do that, but I knew there would be opportunities coming

up on the likes of 13 and 15. I knew I would have some chances on the

back nine, and thankfully I took some of them, to leave me in this

position. Obviously, very happy with that going into the weekend. The

round was dotted with some superb moments, the big birdie on 16... But

how important was that par putt on 18? It was huge. 18 is playing

tough. The last few holes are really playing tough. 17 downwind, and 18,

cannot aim your ball far enough to left, because you will just hit

trees! So it is a tough tee-shot. Thankfully I was able to make par

there. I was disappointed coming off last night, but feeling a lot better

today. Fans everywhere would love to see you locking horns with Jordan

Spieth over the weekend - how much would that get the juices flowing

for you? Obviously, Jordan is the defending champion and he is playing

great here. He is very comfortable on this golf course. I feel like I

have got some unfinished business here over the past few years. I

would look forward to it. Jordan is playing very, very well. If I were

to have a battle with him over the next two days, I would enjoy it and

hopefully I could just come out on top!

It is fascinating to think that Jordan and Rory have played together

here before but never in any tournament on the final weekend.

Doing the maths, looking at this, Rory has outscored Jordan by 28

shots when they have been paired together. Does that interest you? It

does. It makes a difference. There were guys I played with in my career

and I played great in front of, and others I did not play well in front

of. That can have an effect on the player going into a situation like

this. Here comes Rory, making his way from the practice area, up onto

the tee. They are squaring up here for the first time ever worldwide on

the final weekend. Rory McIlory will need the golfing weekend of his life

to claim one of the greatest prizes in the sport, and making it the

career Grand Slam. Coverage will be beginning fire our host

broadcasters, within a few minutes. Rory and others are trying to bridge

the gap back to a golden era of European success, when we had 11

winners in 20 years. It is 25 years this year since a certain Welshman,

Ian Woosnam, had his finest moment here.

Seve Ballesteros, Sandy Lyle, Nick Faldo, if I can beat them, I can win

a major. All of a sudden, this is your big chance, what you have been

dreaming about all your life. I just aimed it down the middle and hit it

as hard as I could. It carried straight over the top. It was the

safest place to go. They could not move the crowd. So in the end, I

said, how far is it? He says, I think it is 146. At the lie and hit

it. And I was surprised to see how far right it was. I actually thought

it was upon the green, I did not think it was there. But the best to

do was just to try to putt it. I was very nervous, but with confidence as

well. I knew if I missed it that I would be in the play-off - and I

think that made it easier for me. PETER ALLISS: Yes, what a man!

Fantastic stuff! And a quarter of a century later, he

has played his last Masters here. He announced it yet today. But they can

never take that jacket away from you. I understand it was quite

tricky getting hold of it today? Yes, obviously, I missed the cut,

and they take them away and store them somewhere. Of course I came

back, I knew I was doing the interview today, I thought I would

wear it, and they managed to get it in just-in-time. It looks

resplendent, as ever. All these 25 years since winning it, what is the

one moment that you always recall when you walk up 18? Barry Island on

the 25 years ago, but I think the most special moment is when I drive

down Magnolia Lane and you think, you are back. Hopefully I will be

coming back for another 25 years. Was it a difficult decision to say,

that is enough, competitively? It was difficult. I have been

struggling for a few years now. I was playing beautiful before I came

here and looking forward to it, but I had a couple of practice rounds,

and my back got really tired. If you are not using your legs right around

this course, you will not go anywhere. Peter, you were

commentating obviously, and Ian was number one in the world. It was the

first week you had come in as world number one - what stays with you

about his performance that week, Peter? Just that he was youthful and

buoyant, and he had a very interesting caddie, which was very

much part of the game of golf. Together, they were joyous and

happy. And he was one of ours, and he had won. It was a happy time,

that is what I remember. Was a dominant time for European golf. And

it followed... For you, is it close, for such a period of European

domination to be beginning again? Yes, when you watch these guys,

McIlory and Spieth and the others, it is wonderful. What gets me is how

they speak in front of the public and in the media. We had the dinner

the other night, and he was just sitting there like he was a

choirboy. I cannot believe it, 22 years of age and just spoke

beautifully. What is your opinion of the way it is set up, and indeed of

how difficult it has been playing the last couple of years, you know

this place better than most? I was in the studio just earlier, and Paul

was saying, you have got to hit the ball high. Peter says, you have got

to hit it a bit lower. You have got to do a bit of everything, if you

ask me. You want to hit it high down the wind, and lower into the wind. A

good player has got to have everything - lowball, high ball,

fades, draws, everything. With this wind today, it will be very

difficult. Is this perhaps some of the most challenging conditions you

have seen at Augusta? I think it is passing as you get older, it is more

difficult. On the greens, you just see the slopes more. You know what

is going to go wrong. With these youngsters, they don't see that so

much. They can hit it 6ft past and put it in. They do not know what it

is like to miss yet. It is exciting. I know you should go back a long

way. Did you not caddie for Ian at some point?! Yes! Hill Valley! I

will never forget it, Peter and David Thompson, Hill Valley in

Shropshire, and I caddied for Peter. I was 16 years of age, and he had

got this leather bag, it was so heavy. I was as strong as an ox. I

am sure he put bricks in it! It was a grand occasion! I gave him a

couple of... They were not new, but I gave him a couple of not too bad

golf balls. He look at them like that. He was expecting about three

quid, I think! He has always been a bit tight, Ian, that is for sure!

One thing I know that is missing from your CV is an entry to the

world Golf Hall of Fame. I am sure it will not be long before they put

that right. Long may you continue to wear that jacket. This afternoon,

our leaders are just about to go off. We can have a look now and see

Jordan Spieth, the defending champion, at the first.

This was playing one of the most difficult holes yesterday's, but

that was straight and true. He has been leading here for the last six

rounds. Now, Rory McIlory, who got so close in 2011. One shot behind,

starting his round today. COMMENTATOR: Beautiful. Beautiful

swing. HAZEL IRVINE: This looks good. He

has gone well past the bunker. No trouble, and we are off and running.

So, let's get an update on the conditions. Ken Brown has been out

on the course today, and this is really a day when a can of her spray

makes no difference at all. At the back of the range, the wind

is whistling about at the moment in all different directions, probably

25mph and gusting. As we look at the lads on the range, they are really

almost out straight. The flag to the left of the green, you can see where

it is blowing. A lot of the players will take what I call a wind map, a

plan of the golf course, in the back of their yardage books, to mark the

wind direction. On the practice ground at the moment, it is blowing

virtually straight into you. And then you look at the other holes and

they will be able to have a guide as to where the wind is blowing. Today,

the 1st, if the wind stays as it is, it will be virtually in the same

direction as the practice ground. So, the first hole will be straight

into the breeze. And it is whipping around, changing direction.

Selection will be very tricky. This should tell us how strong the breeze

is. It is gone. So it is going to be really tough. A par on the first

would be a great result. Bubba Watson was the last of the 57

players to make the cut, on six over par. We can show you some of the

headline groups this afternoon. Shane Lowry made such a

scintillating start to his second campaign at Augusta. He started from

four shots behind today, alongside the fascinating leading a matter

Bryson DeChambeau. The leading Leishman this year is Sheffield's

world number 12, Danny Willett, out with Sergio Garcia in the Spaniard's

70th Major. New Zealand's Danny Lee plays alongside America's Scott

Piercy. Both won titles on the PGA Tour last year. And as you have just

seen, the top attraction, Spieth and McIlory, with six Major titles

between them. They went off minutes ago. They are not the only ones we

are talking about. I just wonder what other players these gentlemen

might have their eye on... I am not one of these folks to predict all of

these things. If you look down the list, there are ten-12 people within

a couple of shots. This event has been won by someone, who has been

six shots behind with nine holes to play full stop not 36 holes to play!

Gary Player said, many moons ago - if they covered the greens with

lumps of coal, somebody would go round in 66. Now, that is possible

today. All sorts of things can happen. You could get someone from

eight shots behind suddenly... It can all go like this. I have always

fancied Henrik Stenson. I think Joe is a magnificent player. The years

have gone by and he has not managed it yet. But these should, everyone

says you have got to get off to a nice start. You do not want to mess

about on the first two or three holes. If Rory is level par after

four, at worst, he will become to. There are some fascinating

characters in the chasing pack. I know you have your eye on Bryson

DeChambeau, and he has the potential perhaps to change the way we think

about playing the game of golf? He is probably the most interesting

character in the game already, and this is the first time he has been

on the world stage. He won the United States amateur,, which is a

rare feat. I think he is one of the few people who comes out onto the

Tour, completely secure in what he is trying to do. That is supposed to

be the weak part of his game! He plays his grubs extremely upright.

-- his clubs. How many physics Majors are playing the PGA Tour? Has

been able to converge the artist and the engineer. And for me, I think he

is on a high trajectory. Years ago, there was a man called import moody

Blake, was a member at Wentworth golf club. He had these ideas.

Fascinating for me today to discover that he went into the clubhouse

here, and there was a set of clubs, which Bobby Jones had used, and they

were all the same length. That is fascinating, because the clubs he is

using, all of the irons are the same length. He calls it zero shifting

motion. It is not just the length of the clubs, it is the positioning of

himself, with very few swing plane changes. A very simple action, but

so effective. It was discussed a few years back,

it was a fad. He was asked how many guys swing on one plane, he said he

was the only one. He's the artist and engineer and I fancy his future.

If there hadn't been for that seven at the 18th last night he would be

in a better position setting off. Let's take you act out onto the

course because this is Jordan Spieth's second to the first. This

hole is on the backlift portion of the green, it is one that you cannot

be left and make par and you don't want to belong either. That is a

wise shot. He made a rare birdie yesterday, it was playing one of the

hardest holes on the course. This is Rory's answer. Once again, left is

dead here. He's held something off against the wind. They are not going

to flirt with the left side. Up ahead at the 2nd, which played the

easiest of all of the holes yesterday, yielded quite a few

birdies and eagles. This is Hideki Matsuyama trying to become Japan's

first male winner. This is for eagle. He is a terrific ball

striker, putts well, has a couple of wins under his belt here recently.

Wouldn't it be something if a Japanese player won the Masters

one-day? It would be wonderful for the game of golf if you are a bit of

a romantic which I occasionally am, Japan has put Summit into the game

of golf, technology, clubs, golf balls and things like that. This is

Jordan for birdie at the 1st. I should tell you Matt Siame made that

tap in for a Burdisso he went 2-under, two behind Spieth. This is

the overnight leader, and that one falls short. -- Matsuyama. He looks

a bit different than he did last year, he looks a little bit further

away, his arms are just a little bit higher, don't know if that is a

conscious effort, he said he has been struggling with his putter.

Last week he said he had to find something magical this week. He has

five fewer putts than Rory and he is ahead of him. The third from the

sand at the long par-5 2nd and that looks like a gimme for him, he's

been very close, he led going into 2013's last day only to be overtaken

in the end by Adam Scott and an hell Cabrera who fought out the play-off.

He's played well over the last few months and has already won at pebble

breach. Some pretty high winds that day as well. Snedeker also in the

thick of things. He has moved to two under and he too is just two shots

off the pace. He would have been a good guide to pick for the previous

question about who you would like in the back of the pack because

Snedeker camera and the tables. Back to the first, this is McIlroy with a

birdie chance. And as he lines up the putt, we can hand to our

commentary team. Something to watch for with Rory too is how he does on

the greens with respect to speed. You get an indication when a player

continues to come up short, he's misjudged it badly, when they come

up short a lot he is a bit nervous, this is the first time he's come up

left-hand lower cross handed and come up short. He's got to win the

mental battles on the greens and trust what he's doing. This is new

to him. Two very big putts. I will let you skedaddle back to the

commentary position. Thank you very much, we are now officially underway

with our host broadcaster's coverage. I will hand you to Andrew

Cotter and Ken Brown. Enjoy, everyone. COMMENTATOR: Good

afternoon, good evening everybody in the UK. This is a big putt, McIlroy

to putt first, so much talk about putting styles. This is a big one

for McIlroy. Very nicely done, he left himself a virtually straight

uphill shot, par at the 1st is a good score because it is just a

couple of birdies, and a couple of bogeys too. Nice one to start his

round. 25 putts in the first round, Jordan Spieth. He has not had a

great season by his high standards. We are talking about second syndrome

season. This is just too far. When he gets to the close ones he will

look at the hole as he plays the shot. Let's have a look at him.

APPLAUSE Two fours for the final pairing.

Par-5 to come. It is bright and sunny but there is a real spring in

the air, blustery Brees. STUDIO: That is how it looks, with the 1st

hole safely negotiated for Jurgen Spieth, the leader, and Rory

McIlroy. Hideki Matsuyama it has made ground and so has Brandt

Snedeker, in the trio at 2-under par. Bernhard Langer, great to see

him still going well, 1-under, Smylie Kaufman still on the first

page, Dustin Johnson level through five, Jason Day, world number one,

level par today, 1-over for the tournament. Daniel Berger, who was

the PGA Rookie of the Year last year, shot one of the four rounds

under par yesterday, 71. Also reasonable progress for him, 1-over

today. COMMENTATOR: See the record, six

consecutive rounds with the outright lead, Arnold Palmer had that, one of

his rounds was the share of the lead, back in the early 60s. 3-wood

to try and get it moving right to left down the par-5 2nd, it swoops

downhill to the left. Sit. Sit. It doesn't sit very often when it

swings down there. It will just be all right, blocked out from the

trees. There is a bunker down the right side, 300 yards to reach it,

A320s5 to carry it. Rory might be able to do that. The wind is off the

right, slightly helping, so he will go for one of his bazookas. -- 325

to carry it. By a matter of yards. He birdied it in the first and

second rounds but he will struggle to do so here. First look at Ian

Poulter. Plus ten. Third shot to the 15th, pin at the front of the green,

don't want to put too much spin on it. That is definitely in the water.

Very tough, demanding day. Paul Casey, sizeable 4-iron of Casey to

the 11. The pin on the right. If you get a cruel bounce like that it

might be in the water. Stay there. It might hang on, Spieth's did in

the first round. Quick, Paul! Lee Westwood going along quite

nicely at just 5-over par. Down the hill. He's got the same problem, but

hasn't got quite so much speed on it, should be all right, the greens

are so fast this morning. STUDIO: They are. Perhaps we can get a

measure of how quick they are, Louis Oosthuizen has come in with the

first under par round of the day, 71. He has battled through the winds

and slick greens. Let's get his reaction down in the interview area.

Louis, how good a round was 71 today? Yes, it was tough. I felt

like I've probably squeeze everything out of the course. You

know, it has firmed up and I was starting on the back nine and it was

chilly this morning when week T-Dot. We were going with 4-irons into the

first. It seems the 7th hole is causing problems. -- when we teed

off. Was that significantly difficult today? I have not seen

that pin there. You're going with a lob wedge or a sand wedge and you

are thinking there is a lot more wind. Me and Patrick did the wrong

thing leaving it short in the bunker. The best we could do was 40

feet away and made five and six. That is tough, it feels like you can

take it on but if I have to play it again I will make sure I am long

left. Looking at what is happening, the wind is blowing everywhere, are

there any spots on the course where there is a little respite? No, it is

tough. The golf course is playing really tough, the last three days.

Today the wind is a little bit more north-west. Yesterday it was more

West. So a few different ones. 18 is 4-iron, 5-iron today, it is a proper

golf course. You need your ball striking to be pretty good today to

manoeuvre it in the wind. Thank you for your time and good luck

tomorrow. Thank you. COMMENTATOR: McIlroy on the second, reasonably

far back, bit of an upslope, how far can he get? A bit of wind here.

Laying up just short and left of that, there he is. The only one of

the par fives where the wind helps today. That's why the wind direction

is said to be most difficult because three of the par fives you are into

it, par fives usually give you something on this course but they

are more difficult. Snedeker up near the second green, good angle for the

bunker shot, up the slope and he has played it well, very well. It might

even start to run back, to give you an idea, they can sometimes trickle

back. Delightfully played. Scott Piercy, the man from Las Vegas, just

feathering it down there. It can lag from four feet at Augusta. Slightly

longer than that but he will tap it in, I'm sure. The ball is well above

his feet and the green around the time those left behind trees -- pine

trees. The gap between the green and the bunker is about 80 yards. That

is a marvellous shot, really terrific, the gap between the

bunkers is about eight or nine yards and that is a delightful shot.

Perfect spot to leave the putt, going straight uphill. -- eight

yards. It is Jason Day who is far from out of this. Is this the 7th

hole? In it goes for Jason Day. That was just for a par, but pars are

golden today, almost like US Open style scoring today. Jason Day has

had problems but not too far away, Jordan Spieth five shots better than

the Australian at the moment. It will be worth keeping and I on the

seventh pin, it is an absolute honey, so difficult -- keep an eye

on the seventh. Rory's third, zipping this one away, must not go

past the flag, most stop at the flag. Nice, very nice. Only four

yards beyond the flag. It's like greased lightning. High-quality. One

behind at the moment. Jamie Donaldson eagled the second,

he holed a huge putt they're playing alongside Justin Rose. Wonderfully

done by Donaldson. It's going to be a birdie. It will take him back to

3-over, so just inside the top 20. Paul Casey will not be grounding his

club to hide because it could easily roll back into the water, the 11th,

his third shot to this tricky par for. From this angle he is actually

putting up the hill. It is a pretty slow putt. -- pas par four. It

popped off the putter face and it was a big quicker than he

anticipated. Poulter has been in the water here at the 15th, so this is

to drop just one on the par-5. Something. Two bogeys and a double

bogey on the 14th for Ian Poulter. Quick, quick greens out there today,

even quicker perhaps than they usually are. Ken has been out having

a look. I've been to Augusta a few times and

I don't think I've ever seen the greens looking so smooth and this

morning they are unbelievably quick, with the wind it will be very

tricky, the quality of the grass is amazing. It is like a parquet

flooring with a green covering. It is superb. But they are so quick

this morning and with wind this about I don't know that the ball

might not blow about on the greens are bit if it gets any stronger. Let

me give you an idea, this is 40 foot, more like 50 foot, how far I

swing the putter to get the ball to trundle down the green. I will hit a

couple. It is electrifying Lee fast. Little nudge like that, another

little nudge like that and watch them going, you might think the ball

would have stopped by now but they keep trickling, trickling,

trickling, incredible, I almost putted it into the water, these

greens are spooky, scary fast this morning and they will dry as the day

goes by so the late starters, one or two of them, could be so difficult,

they are fiendishly fast and so slippery.

You looked troubled. Rose for an eagle on the 13th. That was this

morning, they are drying out with the wind command by the end of play

they will be very, very difficult indeed. -- with the wind, and by the

end of the day they will be very difficult indeed. Justin Rose up the

slope. Just a little ledge on the back corner of the green. Started

with such promise but struggling a little bit. Now, Westwood, all the

way across the length. One of the slower putts on the course uphill,

and still didn't have to hit it too hard, lovely judge of pace.

Using this pencil grip this week with his right hand, unusual grip,

Garcia, and he gets one back. 5-over. It's not a good sign coming

into the Masters and changing your butter and grip. With his coach

David that is a big decision in the week. Good brisk swing of the

putter, but the slope, this is for an eagle. He was dead I kick on the

first day. Not as accurate yesterday on the greens. He has left himself

not a terribly fanciable one. That is 4-under half, five feet on the

wrong side of the cup I'd rather have Rory's putt rather than

Spieth's now. Colourful galleries. Colourful galleries, great players,

although Rory has gone slightly more figure hugging. You saw the way that

Spieth's putt moved at the end, tailing off all the time once it

went past the hole. This is slightly more appetising. It is not one to be

brave at. Still pretty quick, there was a break to the left. I watched

him on the putting green and he was going round the clock, putting five

or six balls around the cup and starting from a yard and moving

further away. It needs a delicate touch to send a message to his

playing partner. GROANS FROM CROWD

I don't think that was a bad putt. He quite liked what he had done with

it. But look how far it has crept on. At this stage you think he has

got it but somehow or another, oh dear, the wall of death. Back there

in a moment, we will go to Matt Fitzpatrick, nobody coming into the

third round had hit more greens in regulation but he was bottom of the

putting stats. Third shot of the par-5, we will see lots of pitches

up to this green. Yet of lead, difficult to reach in two into the

wind. Day one, he holed these Farfan and

yesterday he was struggling. This is another snorter with two or three

inches of break, he needs to hit it firmly. For his birdie. Beautifully

done, right in the middle. Spieth, for now, leading by two. McIlroy

with a bit to do for his par. Far too early to develop into a

Match Play situation, a long way to go in this tournament, but a great

tussle between these two. Changing his parting grip, left below right.

The final pairing both start four, five, par, par. Westwood at the 12

hole today, 146 yards, straight over the middle bunker.

Go right, be the one. The hopeful cry of the golfer, it was the one.

You don't get much rapturous applause at the 12 because the

spectators are so far away from the green. I bet we don't see a better

one than that today. It was a fantastic shot with the wind

swirling around. As you were saying, when you look at the 11 flag, it is

invariably blowing in the opposite direction to the flag at the 12th

green. 12 playing 146 yards. The pin is four yards over the front bunker

and there is five odd yards behind it.

We will leave them to their chat for a moment and head to the tee shot at

the 3rd of the leader. Oh my, that is Miles right. He needs

a bit of luck here. Playing directly into the breeze, this short par

four. 350 yards, and he's got ahead of one. Casey and Tom McLaren have

come to a decision. Everything down the left, hitting a

fade, left to right shot, holding onto the shoulder of the fairway.

That is an awkward distance from that bunker. The pin is on the front

right corner, there is hardly any green to play with behind the pin.

To get close to the flag you almost have to go beyond it and spin back.

This is where Snedeker is playing from up to this pin.

You have almost got to go off the green at the back when coming from

where McIlroy is and hope it skips back out of the first cut of rough.

The chance to see where the flag is cut on the 14th. Rows with his

second. -- Rose. This should be perfect. This should be absolutely

lovely. It is about two yards by two yards and he's got it on it. Ian

Poulter has reached the 16th. 156 today. You can just see the flag

right on the right-hand side. It is not very far, but if you don't

get... He is not enjoying this one that all. That is a horrible shot he

has left himself. He won't be enjoying that one either, that is a

horror he has left himself there. The lovely third shot that

Fitzpatrick hit in here. He improved on his debut last year. He missed

the cut. Rolls it forward into the heart of the cup. Three bogeys on

his card and a couple of birdies, four over. He is right in there

still. From one Sheffield man to another, Danny Willett.

GROANS FROM CROWD He started with a dropped shot on

the first and bogeyed the fourth as well. He will tap that in four a

par, back to 2-over for the tournament, still good enough to be

tied in 15th for the moment. Rose for his birdie at the 14th,

just outside the right age. Yes, perfect pace, wriggling in the side

door, so back-to-back birdies for Justin.

-- the right age. Bernhard Langer, 58, and not too far-away. This is

for birdie on the eighth. That is astonishing, 1-under par, tied in

fifth place, just four behind Jordan Spieth, 85, 93.

He is a winning machine, he won his 26th Champions Tour victory earlier

in the season, and despite the fact he's obviously had to reinvent his

putting stroke once again with the anchoring and he's up there at 58 in

a tie for fifth place four shots off the lead. He challenged here a

couple of years ago, great to see the old fellow here doing well.

It is quite something. Jason Day to get back to level par. The world

number one was going so well on the first, got to 5-under par, and then

stubble is on the back nine. Has he been fortunate? Let's listen in.

He has a gap and he is swishing like he's going to have a swish at it but

it looks awkward. Wouldn't be too bad if he could shunt it up there

somewhere. The pin one fall, love at the front of the green, if the lawns

it it is a fantastic shot, look where the flag is. He's missed the

green in regulation. Let's see what his lie is like, not a bad lie

either. It's going to keep running, but an

excellent effort. There is a lot of arming and eyeing but coming back up

the slope, that's a pretty good miss if you are going to miss the green.

Let's see how McIlroy copes with this one, taking the spin of it.

Don't want to have too much spin on that coming all the way back.

That had so much on it. He would have to land that ten yards over the

green for that to work. What a difficult shot he has left himself

now. I think he can only play the ballooned lob shot. Snedeker,

quickfire putter. He will slip back to 1-under.

Not anchoring, it's a very unusual parting style he's using, he's still

using the long putter but not anchoring. That is still allowed.

That was worth having another look at. It's his 33rd consecutive

Masters. Bryson, this is for par. Nicely done. You can see a bit of a

glaze on the greens, quick, quick. A couple of dropped shots on the first

three holes, but 1-over par. This one playing at 241 yards,

virtually straight into the breeze. Oh, it has gone down the bluff. If

he had used anything like a 4-wood and got it in the air... Looking to

bump this in... It will start to roll away... It is just so, so

difficult. KEN BROWN: I would like to introduce

two other members of the common treating, Paul Azinger, and of

course, Peter Ellis! PETER ALLISS: Thank you, Ken. Just a

chance to see Matthew Fitzpatrick promises to be one of the great

stars of the next ten-15 years. PAUL AZINGER: Jordan Spieth, I think

he did a good job of avoiding putting it down where Rory ended up.

This is actually a lot better than where Rory was. You have still got

to get the speed right. He must feel good or he would not be using this

club. He has got his nerves in check. A lot of guys might putt this

one. He has got a bit of a lofted club as well. Will probably tried to

fly it halfway there. Oh, that had a lot of chatter on it!

Still not a gimme, but super shot for Jordan Spieth.

PETER ALLISS: Matsuyama at 5th for a birdie. It really is a frightening

day for putting on these greens, with the wind, and the speed they

are. Lee Westwood, going for it in two. He has got to get it over the

creek. Will it get up the hill? Not quite. Super shot. Such a dangerous

shot at 13. It will just trickle off a bit. He will be happy with it,

though. Eagle chance for Westwood. Behind to the 3rd, McIlory, after a

well struck tee-shot, which just found the bunker, now he has got 6-7

yards for par. Easy to 3-putt from here if you get a bit too bold. Big

swing, very fast. This is one of the fastest putts on the whole golf

course, Peter, with loads of swing left to right.

Oh, just too short. Brilliant putt, really. It is another shot dropped

to Spieth, if Spieth can pop is in. Scott Piercy, now he has got to

pitch back up the hill. He has got to be careful - this will come right

back to him. Oh, it stayed! Spieth now for a par to increase his

lead. He is a bit fidgety at the moment, a bit more than usual. But

if it goes in, all is OK. And it is. So he starts with three fours.

4-5-5. -- McIlroy, 4-5-5. Well, what about that? You mark your ball, you

walk up to it, you do not get within 4ft, a touch of wind comes and blows

it in the water! Well, I do not know about that. He did not cause the

birds to move. We will see what happens in a minute. Jason Day...

Jason had a monster tee-shot to get it all the way down the hill. Now,

just a little sand wedge. We may see a few birdies here at the 9th today.

One of the few wedge opportunities the players will get. Scott Piercy

for par. Looks good... Oh! Dropped shot. Frustrating, disappointing.

I must say, this is where the rules of golf become very confusing. He

put it on the green, the wind blew it in the water, and now he has been

penalised for that. I do not understand that. That's why the game

for me gets a bit crazy. He did nothing to cause the ball to move. I

don't know, the game has gone crook. Westwood for eagle here at the 13th.

Not given it quite enough. But that should be a pretty routine birdie.

The 16th, Fitzpatrick, just off the green, but on the flat bit. Oh, that

was a bit of a scuff. He just caught the ground behind the ball a bit.

PAUL AZINGER: Jordan Spieth has saddled on a long-iron here. It will

have to be quite something to carry the bunker. You can see the flag

between the two traps. 241 yards, right into the teeth of the breeze.

And another one handle. That could be in serious trouble. Oh, we saw

Mickelson do that a year or two ago! That is a stroke of massive good

fortune. That is two in a row, Peter, where he has let go of the

club on full swing. Not sure if Joe is just getting under it a bit more

than normal, but... He has got to figure something out quick. Now,

McIlroy needs to hit this green, get it within 7-8 yards, if he can. He

is going left as well. Good God! That is the way to play the hole,

obviously! It has been a scruffy game so far.

Jason Day hit a massive tee-shot on the 9th and a beautiful wedge to

hear. Straight down the hill! And all of a sudden, Jason Day is making

a little move up the leaderboard. This was lying at the 9th for a par,

coming up the hill. Just a little bit of swing on it. He did not quite

do it. Expected it to go. This will be Westwood's second putt

at 13 for birdie. Yes. Jamie Donaldson. Five over, pitching up to

the 15th. Study, study... I will be interested

to see what happened with Mr Horschel. I think you should be

writing to the New York Times, appealing, if they have penalised

him. -- he should be. Shane Lowry at the 7th. Got to be careful with this

one. This is the highest green, most exposed hole location. He barely

touched it and it has still gone 3ft by.

HAZEL IRVINE: Here is the situation early in this third round. The

leaders are now playing the 4th. Jordan Spieth now has that

three-shot advantage over Rory McIlory. Bernhard Langer just

dropped a shot, one under for his round and now five behind. Jason Day

has got back to level par for the day.

Danny Willett, one overthrew six today. -- one over through six

today. New dad Danny Willett giving a very good account of himself this

week in his second Masters. Louis Oosthuizen, 71 for the 2010 Open

champion. Justin Rose, two over having played 14. . Him at the

15th... Jordan Spieth pitching up at the

4th. Well, we had two very misdirected tee shots. Snedeker, we

have seen him missing a couple in a row now. Now, Rory has just got to

click this. Not an overly difficult shot. -- clip.

They say the conditions are going to get easier towards the end of the

day. They do not appear to be getting any easier at the moment.

The greens are lightning fast. PAUL AZINGER: Jamie Donaldson. Only

has to breathe on, it will reach the hole. Now, look at it go... Four

yards short of that pin, will not stay on the green. Easily the most

dangerous hole location on the course, here at 15. Something to

watch for as the day goes on. See how the leaders play the 15th.

Big putt here for Jordan Spieth, I feel, Peter. Well, he has holed a

couple of nice once already. The way he has been jumping about, he has

given the impression of being a bit nervous. But he has got the job

done. If he can hole this, it would be rather unsettling for McIlory. On

every green so far, he has holed something.

And he has done it again. It is magical stuff.

McIlory faced with a putt from 4ft. He has already dropped two behind so

far. Look at the shine on the greens now. You can tell the moisture has

been pulled right out of the greens. Is the day goes on, they will get

quicker and drier. McIlory... In she goes. Two adventurous threes, but

threes they were. And on they go. Justin Rose, back up the hill at 15

for a to Pat and for a par. Made it look easy.

Lee Westwood in the light rough, second shot. Just had a couple of

birdies at 12 and 13 of that could be good, if it stops... It has.

Steady... Almost like playing an Arnold Palmer

pitch and putt course this, past the castle and end up near the hole! As

a player, you have got to win the mental battles. He double-bogeyed

this hole yesterday's after a poor tee-shot. Actually, he four parted

here yet the day, now that I think about it. The wind is hard off the

right side. Most right-handers love this wind. He is taking a 3-wood.

These bunkers were put in maybe ten years ago. Now, you have to be more

precise here at the 5th - one of the hardest holes on the golf course.

That is perfect. Through the trees, you can see the cars, the road that

goes by. The club have bought all of that property up there over the last

two or three years. Now, McIlory. Also with a 3-wood, it looks.

Certainly not a driver. That needs to come left a bit. And

it has. Beauty. Pitched 20-30 yards past Spieth.

The marvellous swing of Jason Day after a monster tee-shot. I don't

know that I have ever seen a ball that far! Look where he hit that

from! Downwind and a little right to left, with the help of the hill, but

goodness gracious, that is miles down there. Bernhard Langer, level

par. Wonderful achievement. And that should stay... Yes.

PAUL AZINGER: Danny Willett now at the 7th. We saw one from closer to

this going 50ft past the hole earlier today. Beautiful putt by

Danny Willett! What a bonus, birdies at six and

seven. The people up on the right there, such a colourful scene. Blue

sky, frisky wind. And Justin Rose... Westwood for birdie at 14 after he

hit that shot that went up and around and down and... Another

birdie for Lee Westwood. Solid round, three in a row!

PETER ALLISS: Jamie Donaldson playing with Justin Rose. He is

waiting for something. They are just deciding.

They are still looking for inspiration. Or that is what it says

on his sweater. Can he do it? The flag is almost in a direct line

with the middle of that back bunker on the right. The swirly wind and

the elevations here make it very tricky indeed. It is hard to be

positive. He likes it, does he...? And it is

gone... This would make a little noise, if

Jason Day can hole this putt. Oh, no, he has not hit it. Opportunity

lost there. Two wonderful shots to get to that point. Very much alive,

though, Jason Day. Back in the picture now. To the 5th, and Jordan

Spieth. Well, it might have been in a worse

place than that. Now, McIlory. Same thing. Both of them with quite

serious misjudgements there - at least half a club, maybe a full club

out. Not threatening the hole. Langer just a moment ago, up the

hill for birdie here at ten. Out-driven by 60 yards here by Jason

Day! But they made the same score. The ageless Bernhard Langer. It is

really impressive that he can continue on. He made a comment the

other day, he has won 99 tournaments but he acts and prepares as if he

has never won one. And he does not hit the ball very high! DeChambeau,

boldly and the flag. And look at that! Sometimes it does the right

thing and sometimes it doesn't. Kjeldsen, down the hill at six, 180

eight yards. Pin all the way back left. You took a judge to! --

beautifully judged! Donaldson with this long putt forced you hardly

ever see anyone going past the hole here.

Kjeldsen to finish it off - and he has done it. He gets to level par.

Justin Rose, putting from just off the green here at the 16th. It will

move downhill from right to left. Oh, what a bonus. What a bonus that

was! One birdie, umpteen other bits and

pieces. Same coming home, really. DeChambeau... He has missed a few of

those, this week. Here you get some idea of the slope

on the green at the 5th. Fitzpatrick has had to clear away the trippers.

Folding chairs. Bumps it down the hill and it staggered onto the

green. It did better than I thought. Very tricky shot. Bit harder and it

could have ended up all the way down the bottom.

They would have hit this putt many times in practice. I think Rory is

asking Jordan to move his coin. This one will gather pace as it heads

towards the left side of the green. Well, 21 players have finished so

far, and only one player, Oosthuizen, has broken par, going

round in 71. That gives you some idea of the difficult conditions

here. 71 is going to be a wonderful score. Anyone breaking 70, that will

be a huge bonus. It is very unlikely to happen, unless the wind dies

away. Play will go on until roundabout midnight your time, in

the UK. May be a bit after. That will be seven o'clock here, local

time. I wonder if Rory will go left hand low here on the longer putt. It

is quite a bit harder to judge if it is something that is new to you. And

this style is new to Rory. Can he judge the speed on the long ones...?

And he has done a beautiful job! Did he make it...? Oh, great effort!

That is a gift. You know you have practised from there, you prepare as

much as you can for that hole location, you know it will be there.

What a gift. Physical geniuses, all of these guys.

Matsuyama now at seven, and this is a very dangerous putt. Look at how

fast this is... KEN BROWN: A very similar putt for

Jordan Spieth as Rory has just had. Look where he is aiming. Even

further right than Rory did. One thing I have noticed so far,

especially yesterday, Jordan has managed to hole almost all of those.

These ones are the little knee-knockers that Augusta National

is famous for. It is that in between range, maybe

it's too far-away, you have to have such nerve. I never thought I'd see

the day when the number one in the world, now the number two, couldn't

hit the -- look at the ball when he hits. He is going to look at the

hole. He does. Yes. It's all been a little bit scrappy for Spieth but

his card says he is 1-under par, and that's outstanding. Mega- talent,

Dustin Johnson, after a massive tee shot at nine. Pretty easy hole

location from there. Good shot. 18th. Well done, Matthew Fitzpatrick

just sneaks it in the side door. 37 out, steady Eddie, 37 back, 74, not

bad, average score today 76 so far. A good round tomorrow and he could

have his hand in the cookie jar. The ageless wonder, Bernhard Langer.

Look at the sweet spot on his club, the perfect circle on the clubface.

Treacherous hole location, that is a bailout. Let's look at Amen Corner

with Ken Brown. You never know what you find at Amen Corner, these

gentlemen are here for a 50th anniversary, first time here. I'm

going to show them what Amen Corner is because at home it's hard to get

the geography. Here we go, this is the 11th, the second shot comes down

the hill to hear, that is number 11, then you walk back up the hill to 12

across the creek, and then 13 comes back this way, the par-5. This is

Amen Corner, the turn around the corner of these three holes and it

was Herbert Warren wind that coined the phrase, Amen Corner. He wrote it

in an article in Sports Illustrated in 1958 and that's how they got the

name Amen Corner. These fellows are out here to see the action for the

first time and see how tricky the 12th is. It is a really nasty brute.

What do you reckon, lads? Have a great time. Brilliant, thanks, Ken.

Good old Ken, making more friends. Birdies very read at number nine

today. Three so far. Is it? It must! It must... It looks like more than

half of the ball is hanging over the edge. Those are killers.

That counts just as much as a 300 yard drive. He does plenty of those

as well. Good outward nine Ford Dustin Johnson. Jordan Spieth, Amber

Hill at the 188 yard sixth, the easiest hole location on the course.

Not that there is anything easy about it. -- down the hill. Well,

now. That grass is so sticky at Augusta National it comes straight

down the hill from there. But as my look at the 6th, I'd say it drops to

20-30 feet down to the putting surface. The ball flies right over

the whole on show of the patrons on the Hill just off the tee. We can

have a look at them here, there they are. You cannot see them when you

are seeing off but they are there. Rory Mcllroy, now. He has a higher

trajectory, Rory. This will come down softer. It has skidded a

little, settled a bit too quickly, but under the cup will stop at the

start of the week the greens looked pretty green and lush at they are

looking a bit parched now. Jason Day on 11 after another

massive tee shot. This is just a short iron. The bailout is to the

right. He may have caught the little dust. This is where the wind swirls

the most. Very awkward pin at the 15th today on the front right of the

green, eight on and five from the right, you've got to be very

careful. This is Westwood's third, and he's playing it from the chairs.

It is even more awkward. Nice. Very professional, and old pro's shot

there, taking the least amount of risk. We saw Bernhard Langer bail

out of the right on 11. The grass is so sticky going up the hill, and

then it just gets scary fast. Well judged. Settle. Yeah. There are a

couple of sprinkler heads there. In that grass it is beautifully judged,

because once you hit the green it is all downhill, down Brees. What is

the key to this little shocked? -- down Brees. You got to be able to

control your spin. You've got to make the right decision here, how

much will it skip forward? Four yards short and it will go back in

the water. It's got to be hit perfectly. That was safety first,

for sure. Perfect into the breeze, so little margin for error. Just a

little upslope, and then the green plays from right to left. He's got a

chance, wonderful effortful stop Louis Oosthuizen, best score in the

house, 1-under par. This will give us a chance to see how quick this

is. Easy. , easy. Soren Kjeldsen, down the slope. This

is like going down the face of the Eiger, or down a glacier. It has

trickled on. Sit down. What a lovely touch. One of the few putts you can

be aggressive on, Miss judged to break a little bit but that is OK.

Just a routine par for Rory at the 6th. Danny Willett over a little

crest on the green, down the other side. Birdies at six and seven, and

I'm not sure how that stayed out for Willett. Velvety touch. The

challenge here is to get the speed right coming off the collar, onto

the icy putting surface. It will have a little bit of breakdown

towards the front of the green. He hashed it, and this is another putt

where he hasn't been able to make a guinea 2-putt. That is a good five

feet by. -- gimme. The mystery of the 12th, he's doing his Jonny

Wilkinson, Jason Day. The 12th is only playing 146 yards, but such a

narrow portion of the green, over the bunker, 9-iron. Get left. He's

worried about it. If he had pitched it on the rake it would have come

back into the water, so no wonder he wanted it to go left to go back into

the sand. Looked to be aiming a bit to the right, maybe trying to get

into that hole at the 12th. Jordan Spieth has a good six or seven feet

left at least. He has holed all of these today. Jordan came out early,

good three hours before his round, and hit lots of putts and went back

to the clubhouse. What a putt, dead centre, perfect

speed. Total control right now. Three shots clear of the nearest

challenger, Rory Mcllroy. After day one there were 20 players under par,

just four left now. I gave Rory this but it is a little longer than I

thought. Kjeldsen up the slope here. What a

wonderful up and down, he made a tricky shot look so easy, even par.

Langer now at the 12th, 146 yards, swirling breeze. The hole is cut

right over the bunker. Oh! GROANS FROM CROWD

Now, that hit high on the lip and probably rolled back to the

downslope of that bunker. That will be a really difficult shot.

The front of the clubhouse where the people get their photograph taken.

There is always a big queue. 7-iron, the 16th only playing 156

yards gives you an idea of the strength of the breeze. He will only

hit that about 170. That's exquisite, just a little three

quarters, kept it low, bit of cut spin, feathers it onto the little

ledge. We will see what Paul Casey can do

here. Perfectly quiet, not a sound. He gives it a twirl, we will see

what that means. It means he loved it. Just a little long, good shot!

Very narrow fairway at the 7th, straightaway hole, you can see the

green in the distance there. Another one right. This is going way right

too, he needed a bit of luck, he was lucky on the third, will he be lucky

again? This is the hardest hole on the course today. He had virtually

no chance to get the ball on the green from there. If McIlroy bombs

this and gets fairway he will have nothing but a sand wedge into this

green. He just let it eat. That is massive. It is a wonderful shot,

sloping fairway. Scott Piercy down this slope. Watch

this one. This is Jason Day. This will be all

you can handle. Langer has already played out and couldn't get it on

the green. He may be a little on the upslope. Did you hear that? That's

the best you can do. This was Langer moments ago, hanging

lie, rather unlucky that it went back. If Bernhard Langer cannot get

it out of here no one can, he is a master from the sand and a master

tactician. Over to the eighth, Matsuyama for an

eagle. We have not seen many players get onto this green in two. Well

judged there. APPLAUSE

Matsuyama is making his move, that will get him to two under if he can

convert that a man that would be so low third, just three shots behind

Jordan Spieth. Paul Casey for his two. Must be,

surely. Trying to get away but eventually gets gathered up by the

cup, goes to four over, two over today. Big strong arms, he plays

mainly on the PGA Tour these days in the United States. This was West

just moments ago much it will give you a sense of just how quick this

putt is. You have hit a lovely shot in here and all of a sudden you have

got to play defence on the greens. Just barely touched it.

The same putt as Soren Kjeldsen, dead straight up the hill. Well done

for Scott Piercy, 1-under. 37 years of age, from Las Vegas.

Bernhard in right behind watching every little movement at the end of

the path of the putt. Dustin Johnson at ten for birdie.

This would move Dustin Johnson to 1-under par. No, two really great

missed opportunities back-to-back for Dustin. Now Jordan's tee shot

which flew into the pine straw has come to here. Unlikely for him to

put it on the green. Now we come to Justin Rose's second shot.

He missed by a couple of yards, from being on top.

Is he going round, or just over that branch? Must be going over by the

amount of loft on the club, in between, trying to cut it, always

difficult with the ball coming out of the light rough. He finds what is

one of the deeper bunkers. Matsuyama now to clean up his little birdie

putt at eight this would put him in a tie for second with Rory. Yes,

sir. Now, what is worried going to try

and do, pitch past the flag and try and screw back? This should be, just

a bit more, that is a little unlucky, straight down the slope,

exactly what he was trying to do, pitch it passed and spin back a

little. It is a gift to put that much spin on it in the wind.

Bernhard Langer got a good look at Jason Day's putt. This is for par.

Oh no. STUDIO: Earlier we saw this incident

with Florida's Billy Horschel at the 15th. He was just sizing up this

putt and it blows off the green. Straight into the water hazard. A

fair bit of confusion, it seems terribly unfair but he was forced to

take a drop and would eventually sign for eight six, as he is

summoning the rules official. He came home with a round of 73. Let's

get his version of events of what exactly went on here.

Billy, if you don't mind starting of taking us through 15, it appeared to

be awful luck for you. Yes, it was, I played a really good

round at even par, a chance to finish from the post under par

round, hit a decent shot over the water so I could play it after my

second shot, hit a good chip and didn't play enough break, it was

only eight feet below the hole on a flat spot, another three feet it

would go off the green. But I knew it was stopped, it was my turn to

putt. I put my ball down and walked around, and I was looking at the

break and everything, lining it up, and the next thing I know a really

strong gust came and blew the ball about a foot to two and caught a

slope and it went all the way into the water. It was unfortunate, I

played really well today and for that to happen and have a chance to

go under who knows what would have happened on the last three holes if

I made birdie there. Unfortunate situation. Things happen, bad luck.

Hopefully, whether the luck comes back my way tomorrow or if it comes

back down the road I know I have something coming my way.

COMMENTATOR: 73 for Billy Horschel. Can he produce some more magic out

of the sand? He must make a decision whether he wants to take a chance.

When I say take a chance, that is to skim the collar under the putting

surface. It might not be worth the risk. He could go where Rory's was

and see if it comes back from there. Let's see what he tries. That had

such a good sound and there is nothing you can do, that is gone.

He thought he could manage to get it to grip. As it comes out of the

bunker... He knows. It is one of those situations where you have to

know before you hit your second shot that that bunker is not the place to

end up, you needed to go past the hole to have any chance. Kjeldsen's

third shot. He is a wonderful wage player. -- wedge player.

Danny Willett coming down the slope at the 9th.

GROANS FROM CROWD Doesn't want it to go much further

and run onto the next tier. Always difficult to judge the pace on those

slopes. Unlikely birdie opportunity for Snedeker.

CHEERING What they putt down the hill on

number eight! -- a putt. That is the Snedeker we are used to seeing.

Moving into a tie for fifth. This putt is uphill most of the way

and then it levels out. In fact, at the cup it may take a little bit the

other way. It is not easy to judge the pace, is it? This is one of the

most difficult two putts on the entire golf course. Up the hill and

level and then it goes down. He has got to get this just right. And also

this green is way up in the air so the wind does affect the ball here

more than most of the greens. He does not want to leave himself a

horrible cross slope attempt. He could have a very tricky putt left

otherwise. Subtle. There it goes. Oh boy. He will have that for bogey.

Things can change so quickly here. Ken has been having a look at the

11th, let's go and look with him. Ken. Quite a nice view down there at

the 11th green, I'm at the driving green looking down at the putting

surface. When playing downhill there is a lot to take into account, there

is a nice flat bit of ground, let's put the green here. If you fly the

ball into a normal green as it goes downhill the ball goes further so

when choosing a club on the downhill shot shot you will play flies a

little further so that is tricky and the wind is also swirling about. The

other thing today when I get the book out, here is how the green

looks on the plan of the green, this is the water hazard to the left and

there is water beyond, a pot bunker here and narrow putting surface with

these mounts and the flag is there, 29th four from the right. There is a

good distance from the water but the problem is if you miss it on this

side here it is very difficult to get up and down because the Hall

Green slopes this way, the front that slopes this way. It looks

innocuous but to get a decent putt you've got to take the water on

command if you don't and miss on the wrong side, by jingoism will be

difficult to get down into macro. It looks good but choosing the shot on

the second shot will be so difficult and it's the hardest hole on the

golf course as well. That is so good, it is magic, it is

just magic, Kjeldsen, good up and down and he knows it. He goes on red

figures, Kjeldsen. Beautiful birdie here at the 8th, tied for fourth and

only three shots back. Could be three shots back here in a moment.

It's got a chance. Sit down, I thought it had enough pace to hold

its line. I think the next couple of putts are going to be big moments in

this third round. APPLAUSE

Nice steady round for Jamie Donaldson. Plus five, lovely eagle

at the 2nd got his round going. Big putt for McIlroy. It is left all

the way. Well, wouldn't this be something? As well as Rory played

the hole, and as poorly as Spieth has played the hole Spieth can make

this putt and both walk out of here having made five. Matt Sion at the

9th, second shot. Go-ahead. The ball up the hill, the wind off the left,

such a difficult pin to get at. It is going to go on to the middle tier

but if you are going to miss the green at that range at least you are

putting up the slope. Well, here we go, Jordan Spieth for

bogey. A good seven feet. At least it's a little bit up the hill. It is

all team effort with Jordan. He and his caddy have looked at this from

every conceivable direction, I feel. A difficult one to read, as you

know. See if A difficult one to read, as you

know. See if he can pick the line. Not much in it.

APPLAUSE Another one dead centre. That's got

to be a bit of a shock to McIlroy's system, as well as he played the

holed, to come off their par with Rory. All of a sudden, we've got a

dogfight. A change in the commentary box, Andrew Cotter and Peter Alliss.

COMMENTATOR: Thank you, Ken. That was a cracking shot. Jason Day on

the 13th, a bit of a downslope. Looking to fears that one in lower.

-- looking to fizz it in. Day back to 1-over. Matt C armour at the 9th,

long putt up the hill. -- Hideki Matsuyama at the 9th.

Come on, come on. That is woefully short. He looks a very good player.

He has hit more greens in rigour Laois and then anybody else today, I

think he has hit eight of the front nine. Which isn't everything, Jordan

Spieth has hit three of the first seven and scrambled, scrambled,

scrambled. Which is one of the arts around here.

There they are, on the eighth tee. A massive hole up the tee. A couple of

birdies here for Spieth. Turn. Pushing it again towards the

bunkers. Wide of the bunkers. Well, Peter, he is hitting it off the tee

all over the shot but he is getting up and down. Very difficult for

McIlroy playing alongside this, because he is driving the ball very

well. Famous last words. That's gone right as well. Scored the bunker.

It's all a struggle. Spieth is getting away with it, but McIlroy is

really not at his best at all. Scott Piercy at the 8th.

Tied third at the moment, three shots behind. Danny Willett at the

10th. Playing it nicely. Flipped it. Lovely looking green when you stand

on the hill and played down, and that could come nicely nicely. Very

nice. Steady, steady. So treacherous. Look

at that, still not stop. Such a sigh of relief when it finally comes to

rest. Langer, for eagle, on the par-5 13th.

Tap in birdie and he will go back to level par. The world rankings

started 30 years ago and who was number one, 30 years ago? The wee

man here? It was, 30 years ago. That will move him back into a tie for

sixth place. But he doesn't hit the ball very high!

CHUCKLES Well done Bernard. You keep going.

You need another jacket. That was a moment ago, and Jason Day for birdie

on the 13th. Tied together level par. They are

calling each other along and not far away at all, just four behind. Did

you notice the speed that that ball went in the hole? Disappeared.

Matsuyama for a par at the 9th. Beautifully struck. Tidy nine. One

-- one bogey, a couple of birdies. Spieth was in this area in the first

round and he sprayed it out from there. Plenty of ground up their he

has given himself a nice position. He's done the same. There's so much

room there that once you get past the trees... But that is absolutely

fine. Now he is at a great angle to come down this green. And into the

breeze as well. That's OK. He's not in control from tee to green but

once he gets on there, however... This is a huge bunker. I don't think

Rory can get it too far out of there. He doesn't want to risk

hitting the face, but he's still going to be left with a long third.

Good hit. 7-iron or something like that.

It is a struggle. Certainly at this moment not an epic scintillating

battle. Now, Danny Willett. As the shadows

of the trees stretch across. Still a good round for Danny Willett so far.

He will remain level par for the tournament. Chris Wood, two over.

And he has played a belter. Good shot, Chris. Well done.

STUDIO Well, things are changing on this

leaderboard. Jordan Spieth started with a 1-shot advantage over Rory

McIlroy, but it is Hideki Matsuyama of Japan in sole possession of

second place right now. Rory in a tie for third with Soren Kjeldsen

and Scott Piercy. Further down you can see the progress of the rest

would -- of Lee Westwood and Justin Rose. Let's hear from him.

Justin, tough stretch early on from you. Can you give us an idea of what

you were thinking when you walked away from the seventh green. No,

because it's a family rated show. It's just been a battle. The same as

yesterday, careless. I really struggled with my speed on the

greens the last couple of days and with the greens very gusty... It's

kind of unsettling and that was the story of yesterday and today. But I

really fought hard, great back nine. I wouldn't say put myself back in it

but you know, it keeps the dream alive anyway. Too many squandered

shots around the greens early. The approach, being 3-over going into

the final day, is it one where you have got to still be patient because

you can't afford to attack because the mistakes are just around the

corner? If the leaders were to play in the same wind that we played in,

I would say that they would maybe quite conceivably give a couple back

and I would be five behind and then you feel you have a chance. As we

were coming up 18, the wind has just begun to really lay down and that is

rubbing salt into the wounds right now, that you feel you got the worst

of day to. In my position you need a bit of help from the leaders at this

stage. If they finish strong it can put too much distance between

themselves and me. There is always something to play for on Sunday and

I will come out looking good. I think Sunday will be the first day

where you feel you can make a score. We will see some low scores

tomorrow. Thank you for your time and good luck tomorrow.

COMMENTATOR: Tomorrow is another day. Now Rory, third shot, eighth

hole. He needs a few good shots. And there is one. That's pretty good. He

was a long way back. It's all been a bit of a struggle.

Justin Rose was right, the forecast was for the wind to drop and it

certainly has in the last half hour or so and a pretty calm day

tomorrow. McIlroy just needs to grind it out today and be in touch.

Matsuyama at the 10th. Sprinted away, down the hill, right-to-left.

Is it going to shoot on a bit? Yes. There it is.

Amazing how far Jason Day got down there. Spieth and his caddy chatting

away. Huge greens here. It looks like a small cricket pitch.

I think I can be aggressive with this one. "I Think I can be

aggressive with this one". Well... He has umpteen practice swings. And

here we go. He's got a good line into the flag.

It's been a mixed bag from him, hasn't it? Some good, some bad. He

has made some crucial putts. He was pretty loose off the tee but he did

a pretty sensible thing in playing a 3-wood because there is plenty of

ground out there. I'm sure he will knock that one in. Matsui

Matsuyama now. Not now. Jason Day was almost done by that, almost a

ceremonial bunker, doesn't get much play. Kjeldsen. Up the hill at the

9th, raises it up and that is a horrid little tester coming back.

You look up to the top of the trees and clouds coming across the sky,

but it is only the tops of the trees that are blowing. You hope for the

best. It looks a lofted club he is playing

here. Between the flag and the right-hand edge of the bunker. It

could kick in. Like this one. It could come. Here it comes. That

could be a beauty. Chris Wood, a chance to get to

1-over. Too much. Going nicely, the tall fellow. I remember how well he

played in the strong wind at Birkdale back in 2008 as an amateur,

nearly won the open. Kjeldsen rattles one in. Firm, bold. Out in

36. That brisk walk. Dustin Johnson, for a birdie at the 12th. Not bad,

not bad. They don't want to drop, do they? They don't topple in. Long

birdie attempt for McIlroy. That is poor at and with Spieth's

marker in fairly close, just a few yards right with his drive and it's

costing him. That was a misread, wasn't it? Six or seven feet left of

the hole. If Spieth holes this, he is tiptoeing away from him. This

isn't what was ordered at all by home supporters.

So, another big putt. His playing partner with a shorter birdie putt

to come. It had to drop for McIlroy. Only a five on this part five. No

birdies yet today. Now then, Jordan Spieth. They

certainly do a lot of pacing about, these two. Caddy and player. Working

in harmony. Well, he has holed a putt pretty

much on every green. Of some importance. They were put on the

clock, yesterday, his group. Around Amen Corner. They started to be

timed and they found it a bit frustrating. Not out of position yet

today. It could be in a minute. And everything stops for tea.

APPLAUSE It went in. A birdie four. Well, he

is marching on but his play has been

very scruffy. But he is getting the job done. McIlroy, at the moment, is

not. Scott Piercy up the hill on the ninth. All the way at the back, 125

yards downwind, the tee shot. Not finished. Bear with us. That's OK.

Lee Westwood at the 18th, he has played beautifully today. Certainly

on the back nine. Oh yes! He is practically the forgotten man. He

has played quite beautifully. He has come back absolutely magnificently,

in 32. 71, 1-over par. That is fantastic. Jason Day coming all the

way across the 14th green. Watching, in passive. Studying, learning. What

a putt. Jason Day! 60 footer across the 14th. Happy day. Suddenly he

moves to 1-under par and just four behind Jordan Spieth, the world

number one two is rumbling on. The wind is dropping and the natives are

getting excited. Look at that. Two birdies in a row, a monster putt.

Well, you always see some monster putts here. Look at the distance of

this. Caddy on the right, rattling along. Oh!

Is easy, easy! 60 feet, a conservative estimate. A little bump

of the knuckles with Bernhard Langer. Both going well. The leader,

but there are large footsteps behind him. Three clear of Matsuyama. Jason

Day going along. Straight drive from Jordan Spieth. Heat can get a long

way down this hole today. He looks to be hitting at the ball a

little too hard. It is not the wonderful rhythm we are used to, but

that has skirted the trees and ended up at the bottom of the hill and

that is a big drive. Danny Willett, his second down the slope to the

11th. Excitement around the course. That

is pretty good actually, from Danny Willett. Tough green. Ken was down

there earlier having a look around, as he does. Let's have a look to see

where the flag is on number 11. Away from the water, on the right-hand

side of the green. The ideal area is here, short and left of the green.

If you bail out and think I don't want to go on the water, this is

when things really get tricky. It doesn't look like it, it looks like

a fairly banal it will shot. If your ball sneaks down that right side,

you've hit it six or seven yards off the line. This is what you're faced

with. At home you think, that doesn't look too difficult. I know

the sprinkler heads are in the way... The grain is against you,

it's a bit stiff, and when you reach the green it's absolutely greased

lightning. Let's see what we can do. There's that one. By jingo, I got a

good break. Just caught the sprinkler head. If you get a little

bit bold with it, you have to make sure you get across the stiff stuff,

but watch it go, it's gone, gone forever. It's not impossible if you

go a bit wide, that's gone 15 or 20 feet by, that you can putt it in the

water. This pin looks innocuous but if you missed it on the right it can

get you in real trouble. If you miss it on the left, you have to take the

water on. Danny Willett, at the 11th. Third shot. Was he watching

Ken this morning? That is getting closer, tiptoeing close. Good

effort. Now, Langer. A little wedge in his hands here. That is a huge

putt from Jason Day, his playing partner. Get in, they say! And it

does. Birdie on the 13th, birdie on the 14th. He moves to 1-under par. A

tie for third alongside Jason Day and four behind Jordan Spieth.

Well, Charley Hoffman for an eagle, up the hill. Oh! No, no. Wouldn't it

be an amazing thing for Langer to win and become the oldest person by

about ten years to win this event? It would be remarkable. Hideki

Matsuyama on the 10th, for his par. Knocked it in close for his second

but he was above the hole. Slipped by but he remains two under and the

nearest pursuer to Jordan Spieth. And there is Jordan Spieth. Coming

up to this pin, which you can see, four or five or six yards from the

back of the green, very difficult to get to the close -- close to the

middle of the hole. As good as he can hit it, right at

the flag... That's going to stop in that middle bit. But he must have

thought that would be within ten feet. Instead he is within ten or 12

yards, more maybe. Now, Rory. Looking for a little touch of, if

not magic, at least a few good ones. Needs to come up. It sticks there,

does it? Does it? Steady, stop, stop. It probably will. Looks a bit

laboured with the shoulders coming up. He looks anxious, laboured,

heavy. I don't know. Here is Sergio. Come on, Sergio. As he played a

magical little chip? He certainly has. It is Seve Ballesteros's

birthday today. A great day, the 9th of April.

Seve Would be 58? 59 today. A year older than Bernhard Langer. Bernd

Wiesberger! Oh! So close. We've seen some holes in one here. Trevor

Immelman, remember. Ian Poulter, Harrington. Not quite to be. Have

another book at this. Looks odds-on to go but in, there. Just catches

it. Clive Clarke, our old colleague, had one here whether flag was at the

front. I'm sure it will be eight Sabin

birdie for Bernd Wiesberger to ease his troubles today. His debut,

smiley -- Smylie Kaufman. Played a good one

but it is going way past. Steady, steady. You think some greens are

fast, try these! Scott Piercy on the 10th. See how close they are to the

clubhouse. Just a fairway wood. A little bit easier to get some

right-to-left and get it shooting on down there. Needs to get down to the

flat to make it a bit easier, which it will.

Now, down to putting again. Spieth first. He has holed some very

crucial putts today. McIlroy, well, he has holed a couple of five at

once, but nothing has happened for him so and he is dropping behind.

Slow putt. He couldn't! That was a wonderful

effort. Brilliant tennis. Wonderfully judged. Easy four. Nine

holes completed. 1-under. It is amazing he has eked out 1-under on

that front nine hitting it the way he does, but a master on the greens.

Kjeldsen, long par putt. So, the Dane will drop one on the 10th.

And 1-over for the day. Just in time to see McIlroy, shorter putt than

Spieth's, similar speed. Pretty straight.

That's the way it has been today, I'm afraid. A struggle. Smylie

Kaufman's second two 14. Could slip away to the right if it is just

right of the pin but that went left and it is rolling back. Smylie.

Welcome back, Ken Brown. Thank you, Peter. Nice par on the ninth for

Rory, looking at his card, 38. 3-putt at the 7th. The breeze is

just dying a little bit, just a fraction. Quite a long walk back to

the 10th tee. Ten, 11, 12 don't offer much, pars are good on all

holes. Spieth just loves this course. He does. It was remarkable,

we talked before that he has led six rounds at Augusta now. Up to the

12th, Danny Willett. Just 146 yards. Wonderful shot by Willett. Level

par, chance to go 1-under. Beautifully struck from Jason Day,

not too much spin at the 15th. The wind is trying to blow it, that

would be cruel. If there is a pitch mark or a spike mark, still moving.

I think it has stopped. Hideki Matsuyama going for a high ball,

just trying to control that a bit more. Front right to pin position,

just about there. Great finish, great final round last year, from

Matsuyama. To finish well up inside the top ten. Smylie nudges it in, so

he has plenty to smile about. 1-under par, in the red, first

Masters at 24 years of age, he played his first tournament earlier

this season. The tactics here are to work the ball right to left, you've

only got to get its 260 and it hits the downslope and scoots down the

hill, it is a little easier to draw it as well. There is the slope on

the fairway. It will scamper down there. Before that, Danny, this is

inside right edge, not outside the hole. Yes! He is putting

beautifully, he has a lovely touch going. 12 in the world ranking these

days, highly regarded and rated player, going nicely.

It has pinged off the downslope and that is perfect, the further down it

goes the flat of the lie and the closer you get to the flag. Perfect.

Should be a 3-wood for McIlroy as well.

Tight left. It has gone right under the skirt of the bushes. Still an

enormous tree in front of it. He has seen worse at this hole but he will

have to do something to find a par here. My old Ryder Cup partner,

Bernhard Langer, amazing, 58 and going strong. Down the slope here.

Yet again, my goodness, this is amazing, 33rd appearance. People

have been asking about the long putter and they think it is banned,

it is not the long putter that is banned, it is anchoring it and he is

not anchoring it. It is difficult to get the message up the hill that he

is fine. We saw his ball come out. When I say fine, it is behind a tree

but he will be playing his first one, so ignore what you have seen.

Bernhard Langer, 58 and Jack Nicklaus finished sixth at the age

of 50 in 1990. So there is a precedent. Jason Day playing

alongside Langer but he trails the German now.

Little slippery downhill from Matsuyama, putting him off. A more

exposed area. We are moving somewhere else. Dustin Johnson makes

his fair share of eagles. This is for another one. Not his finest

moment. You've got to be careful here, it can get away with from you,

it slides right and it is all downhill. If you get too cosy with

it it will run out. Well judged. Sit down.

Day left himself is for his par. Nicely done. But it is Bernhard

Langer who is the closest challenger to Jordan Spieth at the moment.

Let's watch this again, Bernd Wiesberger, this is how close he

came to a hole-in-one on the 16th. We've seen great drama around this

hole over the years, a few holes in one. This has been a well paced

hole, 15 of them. But not in that pin position. Unlucky for the

Austrian. The ball of McIlroy and the tree of McIlroy right in front

of him as the hole plays. Can he squeeze around the side of it a bit,

Ken? I think he would have to nudge it outside. Chris Wood on the 17th.

Putting for a birdie but he would be delighted to two putt from here,

lots of undulating swirls to go over. He hasn't, has he?

A couple over for his round, 3-over for the Masters.

STUDIO: Subpar rounds have been few and far between but Lee Westwood had

one of them today, he and Louis Oosthuizen 71, spectacular effort at

the 18th. And it is his 17th playing of the Masters, a man who has been

runner-up here before, he knows his way around.

Let's hear from him. 71 today, how good was that score?

It felt very good. The conditions were tougher than yesterday even.

The front nine played tough, went round in 3-over par command the back

nine gives you a few scoring chances, you can go at a couple of

pins, 15, 16, 17, so it will be interesting viewing later.

A few of the players coming in said they felt the wind was easing down a

fraction coming up 18. Did you notice that?

Myself and Paul felt it had dropped on the last three or four holes. But

it is certainly still blowing and gusting.

1-over for the tournament going into the final day, what are you

thinking? the final day, what are you

I've given myself a chance to win going into Sunday. Hopefully I will
