:00:47. > :00:53.Terrific stuff. You little beauty. That's the way champions do it. Yes!
:00:54. > :01:16.One of the epic performances in At the end of the opening day of the
:01:17. > :01:22.88th Masters we had a real feeling of deja vu. 12 months ago Jordan
:01:23. > :01:27.Spieth left everyone in his wake as he made a record-breaking claim to
:01:28. > :01:31.the green jacket. 12 months later the 22-year-old defending champion
:01:32. > :01:36.from Texas was at it again, despite the fact on a windblown opening day
:01:37. > :01:38.there was a posse of Europeans on full sail, Spieth was threatening to
:01:39. > :01:46.There are those who drive up the disappear over the horizon.
:01:47. > :01:51.There are those who drive up the lane at Augusta and feel at home.
:01:52. > :01:55.Jordan Spieth came in with little form by his high standards, but did
:01:56. > :02:01.what he does, 25 putts on those beautiful and wicked greens, to get
:02:02. > :02:06.66. For others the beauty was harder to find, Rickie Fowler shot 80, Adam
:02:07. > :02:11.Scott 76, and the sorry sight of Ernie Els with six putts on the
:02:12. > :02:17.opening hole, demons in his head. Spieth was on top, where with the
:02:18. > :02:20.other members of the so-called big three? Jason Day was in close
:02:21. > :02:28.pursuit until the water claimed him on 16. McIlroy moved to 4-under but
:02:29. > :02:32.stumbled over the final three holes. 70, a solid start. European
:02:33. > :02:38.challenge was strong, Ireland's Shane Lowry finished with 68. Sergio
:02:39. > :02:43.Garcia just a shot further back. On the same 3-under Mark, 20 years
:02:44. > :02:48.after Nick Faldo's last English win, three were hoping to do the same,
:02:49. > :02:53.Paul Casey, Ian Poulter and Justin Rose, the runner-up last year was
:02:54. > :02:57.well placed again. But the man who beat him then, Jordan Spieth, was in
:02:58. > :03:02.front again. Just another day for the young master, where in this most
:03:03. > :03:03.extraordinary place, leading the Masters seems the most ordinary
:03:04. > :03:14.thing in the world. Jordan Spieth's overnight lead was
:03:15. > :03:17.two shots after the opening 66 going into Friday. The sixth straight
:03:18. > :03:24.round he has helped the outright lead here.
:03:25. > :03:33.17 years and counting since the last European winner here. With Shane
:03:34. > :03:40.Lowry, Poulter, Danny Willett, Rory McIlroy among those within four
:03:41. > :03:45.shots, everything seems doable. Only 20 players breaking par on a
:03:46. > :03:50.blustery day. Jordan Spieth really didn't like handing back his green
:03:51. > :03:53.jacket when he pitched up down Magnolia Lane earlier in the week.
:03:54. > :03:58.How he would love to hang onto it for another year and take it back to
:03:59. > :04:02.his Dallas home. He, like everyone else, will have to cope with tricky
:04:03. > :04:08.conditions once again. The weather forecast was for more of the same as
:04:09. > :04:11.day one, strong breezes coming through the trees and swirling
:04:12. > :04:19.around making club selection and putting tricky on the Lassie dreams.
:04:20. > :04:24.Spieth happy afternoon start. Those teeing off in the morning tried to
:04:25. > :04:34.bridge the gap. -- on the glassy greens. Scott Piercy at the 3rd,
:04:35. > :04:39.Flowering Peach, and this was a fine putt. He moved to 4-under for the
:04:40. > :04:44.tournament, and within two of Spieth. Scott Piercy joining Danny
:04:45. > :04:49.Lee and Denmark's Soren Kjeldsen, who birdied the second to make
:04:50. > :04:53.progress of his own. Shane Lowry had an opening bogey to drop back into
:04:54. > :04:57.the group at 3-under. Justin Rose and Paul Casey are yet to get
:04:58. > :05:04.underway. Ian Poulter, two over after six for his round. Rob
:05:05. > :05:13.world under one Jason Day at the 5th hole, and we are in the Company of
:05:14. > :05:20.Ken Brown and Paul Azinger. COMMENTATOR: The pin in a very
:05:21. > :05:26.awkward spot at number five, in the upper bluff. Get up... It has. You
:05:27. > :05:28.will not see a better one than that today. Almost impossible to get up
:05:29. > :05:40.that flag. It's a beauty. Rory McIlroy the second. Enormous
:05:41. > :05:45.tee shot here with the hole to the father -- to the far left of the
:05:46. > :05:51.green. No chance to get it close. That's likely pretty close to where
:05:52. > :06:10.he was aiming. Good shot. Jason Day for birdie, the Greens are
:06:11. > :06:17.quicker than yesterday. Dried out under the blustery wind. 1-under for
:06:18. > :06:26.the day, 1-under in total. Handy start.
:06:27. > :06:36.Sergio Garcia for birdie at the 3rd. It's so fast down the hill. Well
:06:37. > :06:46.holed for Sergio. He's made some of those look pretty easy this week.
:06:47. > :06:53.Rory has putted up to here at the 2nd. Well judged for his birdie. The
:06:54. > :07:01.pin on a shallow point of the green. Perfect start, 3-under par. Par at
:07:02. > :07:09.the tricky first, birdie at the 2nd. Danny Willett with a virtual kick in
:07:10. > :07:19.at the 3rd. There are no gimmes at Augusta. The edges are so sharp.
:07:20. > :07:23.Well holed. Big tee shot up the third for Rory. A short par-4,
:07:24. > :07:31.trying to skid up to the green. Should have a bit of grab. Not bad,
:07:32. > :07:41.leaving himself a sniff of another Berdych -- birdie chance.
:07:42. > :07:47.Jason Day, trying to lay up at number eight. It sounded good, a
:07:48. > :07:56.little long, but not bad. Better than being short, I can assure you.
:07:57. > :08:09.Slippery putt down the hill for Rory. Left-to-right. Glassy. He's
:08:10. > :08:13.done it. Perfect start, par, birdie, birdie, 4-under par, 2-under for his
:08:14. > :08:20.round today. Couldn't ask for better. From one fast putt to
:08:21. > :08:29.another. Jason Day down the hill at eight. That's just perfect speed,
:08:30. > :08:38.dead in the centre of the hole. Good comeback for Jason Day. The second
:08:39. > :08:49.nine yesterday, 41 coming back. 41 was no good. Rory McIlroy for bogey
:08:50. > :08:59.at before. It's a long par-3. My goodness. Tom Watson now driving.
:09:00. > :09:03.APPLAUSE Tom Watson, a two time Masters
:09:04. > :09:09.champion, he made it known this would be his last go round Augusta
:09:10. > :09:13.National. Hoping to get two more days in and stay for the weekend.
:09:14. > :09:43.What a player, what a career. Charley Hoffman now driving... The
:09:44. > :09:49.fourth is a horrible sliding left-to-right for McIlroy. He's
:09:50. > :10:00.dropped two shots, back to where he started. What a shame. Actor 2-under
:10:01. > :10:02.par. -- back to 2-under par. This is how it looks... Jordan Spieth is yet
:10:03. > :10:23.Not many players under par. The early part of the day's play has
:10:24. > :10:27.been tricky. The breeze swirling in the trees. 18 players under par.
:10:28. > :10:31.McIlroy at the back of the 15th, the trees. 18 players under par.
:10:32. > :10:41.awkward pin, carried too far and went over the back. Not carried far
:10:42. > :10:46.enough. Double bogey at the 4th. This will be his fourth when it
:10:47. > :10:53.stops, easier than last time, but a tricky pitch that he has left
:10:54. > :10:55.himself. It's not an overly difficult
:10:56. > :11:03.himself. It's not an overly Willett. Plenty of green to work
:11:04. > :11:07.with. It depends on the lie. Is he going up and coming back? No. That
:11:08. > :11:22.wasn't his best, that's for sure. Rory has this
:11:23. > :11:28.Actually a pretty good bogey in the end. A marvellous start, but he has
:11:29. > :11:35.frittered three strokes away in two holes. Easily done, but so painful.
:11:36. > :11:43.Unfortunately for Danny Willett, he has this for par and its blazing
:11:44. > :11:49.fast. Just taps it, and it was left all the way.
:11:50. > :11:59.Bogey for Danny Willett and a dropped shot at seven.
:12:00. > :12:07.The defending champion is wandering onto the tee, getting a
:12:08. > :12:13.The defending champion is wandering welcome. 66 yesterday, had one of
:12:14. > :12:16.those days on the greens, 25 putts. Not often you finish in the
:12:17. > :12:23.clubhouse and say, I couldn't have scored any lower. Rory for a par
:12:24. > :12:33.save at the difficult sixth. It turned quite a bit at the end, well
:12:34. > :12:34.holed. Three is a great score at the 6th today, especially following
:12:35. > :12:50.Garcia at the double bogey, bogey.
:12:51. > :12:52.Garcia at the one to the pin. Man, very rare you
:12:53. > :12:55.see that back up to the green when the breeze is holding. It's a
:12:56. > :13:05.cracker. Not many smiles but he's playing darn well. After a good tee
:13:06. > :13:10.shot at the 1st, Jordan Spieth aiming at the hole on the back of
:13:11. > :13:16.the green to the far right-hand side. You can't go long here. And
:13:17. > :13:23.the right is no bargain either. It sounded OK. He gave it a twirl.
:13:24. > :13:36.Terrific shot. Good start for Jordan Spieth.
:13:37. > :13:47.Garcia to move to 4-under. Sweetly done, a nice wordy at eight. -- a
:13:48. > :14:05.nice birdie. Right in the mix. Bryson Dechambeau. He could become
:14:06. > :14:13.the most interesting golfer in the world here with a little bit more
:14:14. > :14:22.success. Won the NCAAs. And he chips in. What a start! Won the NCAAs and
:14:23. > :14:27.the amateur Championship in the same year, one of only five players to do
:14:28. > :14:31.that. The first playing extremely difficult, straight into the wind
:14:32. > :14:34.today. He will be happy with that birdie, especially from straight
:14:35. > :14:40.over the green, it was really fast. Jordan Spieth has a big break from
:14:41. > :14:48.left-to-right. He's onto the right allege. Started where he left off.
:14:49. > :15:00.Fabulous start, 7-under par, the cheers ringing around the course.
:15:01. > :15:01.He's off running. Magical. Jordan Spieth is underway after a beautiful
:15:02. > :15:27.birdie on the difficult 1st hole. To the second green, the monster
:15:28. > :15:31.par-5 downhill. Paul Casey, 3-under, third shot, and that's pretty good.
:15:32. > :15:43.Better than pretty good. Mighty fine. Nice to see him playing well.
:15:44. > :15:44.Now, Jason Day studying this one. It looks beautiful, but danger all
:15:45. > :15:58.around. Tumbling down. The ball was above him. Sometimes
:15:59. > :16:05.you can overcompensate, out to the right. Oh dear. So close to being a
:16:06. > :16:15.wonderful shot, but Daly into the water. -- but Jason Day into the
:16:16. > :16:19.water. On the second green, Paul Casey played a good shot from the
:16:20. > :16:27.bunker and that moves him to 4-under. Nice start for Paul.
:16:28. > :16:36.He has taken a drop, this is the fourth shot. It didn't sound clean
:16:37. > :16:43.at all. Into the water again. Horrors at the 13th for Jason Day.
:16:44. > :16:48.All gone wrong. He will be pitching six on this par-5.
:16:49. > :16:56.Chris Wood at the 5th. Very underrated hole, the fifth. Very
:16:57. > :17:03.tricky green, monster putt for birdie. Bob, down and round, and
:17:04. > :17:11.it's in there. You never know, it's a silly old game. Great start for
:17:12. > :17:17.Chris Wood. 2-under par. Got away with it, he stuffed it into the
:17:18. > :17:24.creek, but chipped to hear, Jason Day. This to drop just one shot at
:17:25. > :17:30.the par-5. Tracking well and in it goes. If there can be such a good
:17:31. > :17:36.thing, a good bogey. He has been twice into the creek. Yet he only
:17:37. > :17:41.drops one shot. Having to work hard at the moment, hanging on, Jason
:17:42. > :17:48.Day. The second nine has not been kind to him, but the course has been
:17:49. > :17:52.nine to our leader at the 3rd. Jordan Spieth, a tremendous tee shot
:17:53. > :17:58.and a simple looking pitch to the green. It spins, magnificent result.
:17:59. > :18:07.That's a certain three. He will move to 7-under. Is it a runaway? A long
:18:08. > :18:15.way to go yet. Shane Lowry in the Valley in the ninth. Everybody
:18:16. > :18:25.hitting big drives today. It goes back. Or won't it? Wonderful from
:18:26. > :18:30.Shane Lowry. Just about concede him that. It will be 3-under with 1-over
:18:31. > :18:38.to the turn full hourly. He will be out in 37 if he knocks that in. --
:18:39. > :18:44.to the turn for Lowry. Danny Willett at 16. Keeping things going very
:18:45. > :18:49.nicely. Vista moved to 4-under. Up the hill, a bit. -- this to move to
:18:50. > :19:03.4-under. Jordan Spieth with a tap in birdie
:19:04. > :19:07.on the 3rd hole, he moves to 8-under. Four clear of closest
:19:08. > :19:18.pursuer Danny Lee. Anything around par in these
:19:19. > :19:24.conditions will stand you in good stead.
:19:25. > :19:36.The good young Frenchman, won the amateur Championship at Carnoustie
:19:37. > :19:42.last year, and whoa! Very French and flamboyant. He's well on his way to
:19:43. > :19:55.making the cut. Bryson Dechambeau will be challenging for top amateur
:19:56. > :19:59.honours as well, but well done to Langasque. And Jordan Spieth has
:20:00. > :20:06.missed one! McIlroy with some work to do for par
:20:07. > :20:21.at 11. Trouble here yesterday and again
:20:22. > :20:29.today. McIlroy bogey at the 4th, great start after birdies at the 2nd
:20:30. > :20:36.and third, bogeys at four and five, and another one on 11, starting to
:20:37. > :20:43.slip back. Costly. Spieth at the 5th. It should be a formality. Three
:20:44. > :20:51.or four feet. Just a little tap in, but not just a little tap in! There
:20:52. > :20:53.is a very rare sight. He has gone a couple of feet past at least. Well,
:20:54. > :21:04.well, well. Paul Casey, he will have seen how
:21:05. > :21:13.difficult this hole can be with Spieth's putt, but he rattles in
:21:14. > :21:19.with some confidence. A couple of bogeys, but that run comes to an
:21:20. > :21:24.end. Danny Lee at 18, who has kept his game together very well, tapping
:21:25. > :21:26.in a bogey. It's 2-under for the tournament, and that's very good
:21:27. > :21:29.playing in deed under these conditions. I think it's a bit more
:21:30. > :21:33.difficult than yesterday, and that conditions. I think it's a bit more
:21:34. > :21:37.might be because of Finn placement and the speed of the greens. A lot
:21:38. > :21:42.of work to do before we make the cut tonight. I think a few people have
:21:43. > :21:46.been writing off this tournament saying Spieth was running away, he
:21:47. > :21:53.was going to win, but this putt is for double bogey. Suddenly two shots
:21:54. > :21:57.gone, that's how quickly things can change at Augusta even for the very
:21:58. > :22:03.best putter in the world. A couple of early birdies at a double bogey
:22:04. > :22:09.at five. Spieth still leading by three ahead of Scott Piercy and
:22:10. > :22:14.Justin Rose. The New Zealand economy Danny Lee, 74 today, but 2-under
:22:15. > :22:18.overall and very well placed. After a miscue at 15, Spieth on 16. -- the
:22:19. > :22:35.New Zealander, ... The winds swirling around. That's
:22:36. > :22:41.what I'm talking about right there. That's the question asked you. Where
:22:42. > :22:48.is the sweet boy we knew of yesteryear? Can there be an evil bit
:22:49. > :22:55.of him lurking under that sweet facade? I fancy so. Bubba Watson has
:22:56. > :23:03.had a wonderful second shot at 18. I fancy this is to make the cut. I
:23:04. > :23:10.think 5-over will make it. Bubba, Bubba. Can't understand it. 6-over
:23:11. > :23:15.might still make it, but it's a stretch. Such high hopes for Bubba
:23:16. > :23:23.Watson coming into this tournament. Two 75s. Spieth went right through
:23:24. > :23:32.the crowd, didn't hurt anybody and chipped back to here. Long putt for
:23:33. > :23:36.par-3 on this 6th hole. Can he? He has, and that's a huge save.
:23:37. > :23:45.Conscious competence if ever I saw some. Stays at 6-under, and looking
:23:46. > :23:55.good. Not been a good day for Ian Poulter. Can he finish well?
:23:56. > :24:02.Hugely frustrating. That would have just redeemed a lot of the bad
:24:03. > :24:05.things that have happened to him today. Started off 3-under after a
:24:06. > :24:12.wonderful 69 yesterday. That's a today. Started off 3-under after a
:24:13. > :24:21.here for the weekend, but a much earlier start tomorrow. 14th hole,
:24:22. > :24:29.Garcia, 1-under. Difficult flag position at 14 with humps and bumps
:24:30. > :24:35.and all sorts of slopes. But that's beautifully judged. Great result and
:24:36. > :24:41.the chance of a birdie. Very good shot indeed from Garcia.
:24:42. > :24:51.This isn't too bad for Jordan Spieth. A bad second shot from a
:24:52. > :24:59.tricky position. That was a good sound. Good shot. We can give him
:25:00. > :25:07.that, I think. He makes it look very simple, a beautifully played shot.
:25:08. > :25:13.Dark clouds are behind him. Now Garcia, a wonderful second shot in
:25:14. > :25:18.here. So difficult to get it on the correct part of the green.
:25:19. > :25:23.Beautifully finished out. Well done to Sergio Garcia after bogey on the
:25:24. > :25:31.13th, which was wasteful. Back to 2-under.
:25:32. > :25:39.McIlroy at the 13th, the par-5, this is for birdie. He needs something to
:25:40. > :25:50.happen. That's better. Another par-5 coming up at 15. Chances. He's had a
:25:51. > :25:52.bit of a mishmash sort of day so far, and he knows it. Bryson
:25:53. > :26:04.Dechambeau. In it goes. He looks like a very
:26:05. > :26:11.tidy, if somewhat unorthodox player. A lot of other people might start
:26:12. > :26:14.trying his clubs. The Sham Bo, just off the first page of the
:26:15. > :26:32.leaderboard, which is headed by playing partner Jordan Spieth.
:26:33. > :26:42.Jordan Spieth got a good break by missing this bunker at eight to the
:26:43. > :26:48.right. Second shot. And he's just let go. Not clicking on all
:26:49. > :26:55.cylinders today, but that won't hurt much at all. It's actually a pretty
:26:56. > :27:03.easy pitch back up there, about 50 yards or so. Jason Day to finish out
:27:04. > :27:06.with par... No. He was going so well yesterday, getting to 5-under, then
:27:07. > :27:16.slipping back on the back nine. Today he has missed a few shots.
:27:17. > :27:21.Three bogeys on the back nine. Some way back going into the weekend.
:27:22. > :27:28.Jordan Spieth from more than 50 yards, probably closer to 70 or 80.
:27:29. > :27:33.And that's nearly perfectly judged. Wow, that stopped fast.
:27:34. > :27:45.Scott Piercy Fairly steady round, round in level
:27:46. > :27:50.par, back in 1-over. 2-under for the tournament.
:27:51. > :28:01.Jordan Spieth for birdie at eight after a lovely wedge shot downwind.
:28:02. > :28:08.Good, aggressive stroke. He's got it. Well holed, maybe that will
:28:09. > :28:15.right be shipped a little bit for Jordan. He has been up and down like
:28:16. > :28:21.a yo-yo today. Birdies, bogeys, double bogeys. Well holed for birdie
:28:22. > :28:28.at eight. Paul Casey needs this. Bogeys at three, four and six.
:28:29. > :28:29.Birdie at eight. Heading in the right direction again, getting back
:28:30. > :28:51.to 2-under. 1-over for the day. Shane Lowry at 15. Level for the
:28:52. > :28:58.tournament. Good birdie here. Led the field yesterday in greens in
:28:59. > :29:11.regulation. Very difficult out there today. Double bogey at the short
:29:12. > :29:19.12th hole. Now Justin Rose. Oh, that will be a 3-putt for Justin Rose
:29:20. > :29:28.here. Unfortunate bogey. McIlroy with his second to 15, taking it on
:29:29. > :29:31.and twirling away. Sit, sit! Does it need to sit? He's one of the few
:29:32. > :29:36.players who can hit that high and get it to land that softly. The 15th
:29:37. > :29:41.becomes a little bit less intimidating. Wonderful shot. Henrik
:29:42. > :29:45.Stenson so close to falling back down the slope at six, but it goes
:29:46. > :29:48.in for the Swede. Stenson doesn't have a great record at the Masters,
:29:49. > :30:03.but into sub par figures. Jordan Spieth at the 9th, dangerous
:30:04. > :30:09.hole location here. And that's why. He just misjudged it by a yard or
:30:10. > :30:23.two. Who knows when that will start rolling. Goodness.
:30:24. > :30:34.It was a towering second shot from McIlroy. This is quick, for eagle,
:30:35. > :30:37.it says. Two putts for a birdie would be gratefully received. That
:30:38. > :30:54.is a very nice roll from McIlroy. DeChambeau, the amateur at nine,
:30:55. > :30:57.it's all about getting the right distance here. Will it come back?
:30:58. > :31:06.That should feed all the way back down to the hole. Will it go in? No,
:31:07. > :31:13.it came up just a little bit lacking but what a shot from the amateur.
:31:14. > :31:21.McIlroy then for his four, birdie for Rory Mcllroy. He's starting to
:31:22. > :31:29.make of it of ground. Bolli the two par fives, that is what you do, 13
:31:30. > :31:32.and 15. -- birdie. Jordan Spieth chipping into the green and back up
:31:33. > :31:41.the hill, I don't believe that is going to make it. Not a good effort
:31:42. > :31:49.at all. That brings double bogey into the equation for Jordan.
:31:50. > :31:58.Tee shot for McIlroy on the 16th, the pin on the back right today, 176
:31:59. > :32:12.yards. This looks like a pretty good line. Stay there. That's OK. Now,
:32:13. > :32:23.Bryson DeChambeau trying to capitalise on that terrific shot
:32:24. > :32:25.here on nine, and he has done it. He is going to feel pressure like he's
:32:26. > :32:54.never felt before. Rose to save par. Costly, three bogeys in the last
:32:55. > :33:02.four. Rory Mcllroy, down the hill, big left-to-right swinger. This is a
:33:03. > :33:10.lovely effort here. Is it ever! What they putt from Rory Mcllroy.
:33:11. > :33:31.Spieth for a bogey. Not too bad to drop just one after his travails
:33:32. > :33:38.there. It all adds up to level par front nine. So, Jordan Spieth is
:33:39. > :33:44.three clear of Rory Mcllroy, making his move, Danny Lee with 74, Scott
:33:45. > :33:47.Piercy completed his round, Paul Casey Henny in, Bryson DeChambeau
:33:48. > :33:52.the leading amateur playing, wonderful golf from the young
:33:53. > :34:00.American. Jordan Spieth has missed yet another green, he's got to pitch
:34:01. > :34:04.it back up the hill into the 10th. It's easily done there. You
:34:05. > :34:11.certainly can't come up short. It's always more difficult when you are
:34:12. > :34:15.chipping into the green like that to just gun it a little bit. That will
:34:16. > :34:23.be a difficult and delicate putt down the hill for par. He has played
:34:24. > :34:29.good golf today, Garcia, but dropped a shot on the 17th, and here he has
:34:30. > :34:36.a little left to right one on the final. That is cruel cruel, cruel.
:34:37. > :34:42.Bogey, bogey, bogey finish for Sergio Garcia, round of 75, back to
:34:43. > :34:43.level par for the tournament. Still not out of it but an expensive
:34:44. > :35:06.finish. Jordan Spieth now for par, dicey
:35:07. > :35:13.little putt, down the hill. Settle. Is always rolls out that extra foot.
:35:14. > :35:25.McIlroy setting up for the feed here on the 18th. Has he overdone it?
:35:26. > :35:32.Trees, in trouble, McIlroy finds it. Shane Lowry, can he finished with a
:35:33. > :35:37.par here and finish with red figures? Push, push, push. That is a
:35:38. > :35:40.pity, he has struggled today figures? Push, push, push. That is a
:35:41. > :35:47.many other players. figures? Push, push, push. That is a
:35:48. > :35:52.be a round of 76 for Shane Lowry. 4-under yesterday, for over today,
:35:53. > :35:58.struggling for the moment, bogeys on the opening two holes and bogey to
:35:59. > :36:02.finish with. -- four over today. This is where McIlroy ended up at
:36:03. > :36:07.the 18th, not the place to be, although it is possible to thread
:36:08. > :36:13.one through and find the green. Three or 4-iron, down the shaft,
:36:14. > :36:29.thump it and pray, scuttling up, well, it is out. He is OK.
:36:30. > :36:35.DeChambeau at the 11th. No, no, no, where is he? Not to the left? That
:36:36. > :36:40.is a mistake that has worked out majestically well.
:36:41. > :36:46.It is so important for McIlroy to try and finish well. He made bogey
:36:47. > :36:52.yesterday from a perfect drive. He has been in the trees today. He has
:36:53. > :37:02.a bit of a backstop here, spinning the club, happy, back down, it has
:37:03. > :37:05.to go back down. Just not going to have quite enough. If it had gone
:37:06. > :37:10.further up the slope it would have been better but still a good chance
:37:11. > :37:21.to save par. Two behind Spieth at the moment. Casey for a par. Casey
:37:22. > :37:32.for his part four at the 11th to state two under par. -- stay two
:37:33. > :37:38.under par. Just on the high side. McIlroy now for a par, and he's got
:37:39. > :37:44.it. Well done, that is a great effort. Wild drive into the trees,
:37:45. > :37:48.got it up onto the fairway, wonderful putt, and the drama of the
:37:49. > :37:56.two par threes on the front nine forgotten. Home in 34, 3-under, very
:37:57. > :38:02.much in the hunt. DeChambeau for his birdie on the 11th. Yes, indeed.
:38:03. > :38:11.Birdie on the 11th, how rare that is. STUDIO: Rory McIlroy in sole
:38:12. > :38:17.possession of second place right now after the round of 71 today and at
:38:18. > :38:21.one point he was six or seven shots behind, just two behind.
:38:22. > :38:25.Golf fans everywhere would love to see you lock horns with Jordan
:38:26. > :38:28.Spieth over the weekend. What would you like to see and how much would
:38:29. > :38:33.that get the juices flowing come Saturday and Sunday? Yes, obviously
:38:34. > :38:38.Jordan is the defending champion and playing great here and he's very
:38:39. > :38:42.comfortable on this golf course. I feel like I've got some unfinished
:38:43. > :38:49.business here over the past few years. I would look forward to it.
:38:50. > :38:53.Jordan is playing very, very well and if I were to have a battle with
:38:54. > :38:55.him over the next two days I would enjoy it and hopefully I could just
:38:56. > :39:08.come out on top. DeChambeau on the 12th tee, two
:39:09. > :39:11.under par. Murmuring in the crowd. And, yes, now chairs.
:39:12. > :39:15.CHEERING Beautiful shot, he has birdied the
:39:16. > :39:25.11th and it looks like another one coming up at the 12th. -- Cheers.
:39:26. > :39:35.Justin Rose with a little pitch to the eighth. Just running on a bit.
:39:36. > :39:40.No, nicely judged. That should be a tap in to get him to one under par.
:39:41. > :39:46.DeChambeau hit a marvellous tee shot at the 12th and this is to clean up
:39:47. > :39:52.for birdie. And now Bryson DeChambeau has moved to 3-under,
:39:53. > :39:58.just two shots off the lead. A bit of trouble here for Rose, this is
:39:59. > :40:07.his fourth now, he pitched up to hear from down in the hollow to the
:40:08. > :40:13.left of the green. -- up to here. He would think about Holding that but
:40:14. > :40:19.it is likely to be bogey. -- holing that. This is Paul Casey's tee shot.
:40:20. > :40:31.And it did as well. What a shot from KC. Eagle putt to come. Devouring
:40:32. > :40:36.the 13th Ashun Casey. Quick down the slope for Mickelson, for the three.
:40:37. > :40:48.It needs to settle now. Look at this. Don't look, look away. The
:40:49. > :40:53.very best in the world can be made to look very silly. He has put it
:40:54. > :40:57.off the green, from no great distance but if you are on the wrong
:40:58. > :41:06.part of the greens you are in trouble here at Augusta. Paul Casey
:41:07. > :41:12.now with the shot of the day at 13. This is for eagle. To move him into
:41:13. > :41:21.a tie for second place at three under par.
:41:22. > :41:29.Will it rake? No, he has just overplayed that. I think you miss
:41:30. > :41:38.read that putt. He made a nice stroke, at least. Easy birdie,
:41:39. > :41:46.though. Lee Westwood is doing not too badly.
:41:47. > :41:58.He is hanging in there at one under par. Not too far away. He got here
:41:59. > :42:02.in two on this par-5. That is very, very well judged indeed from Lee
:42:03. > :42:11.Westwood. Birdied the 13th to get back to 1-over and should get back
:42:12. > :42:16.to level here. Jordan Spieth on the 14th. Downhill most of the way, just
:42:17. > :42:35.levels up at the cup a fraction. I have not seen him miss many by
:42:36. > :42:41.that. He's not had a lot of gimme two putts today. This would be a
:42:42. > :42:57.good par save for Paul Casey at 14 if he can make this one. Will it
:42:58. > :43:03.break? No, so close. This green drives -- dries out a bit. This is
:43:04. > :43:10.to save his par. Must have caught the edge of the hole by the crowd
:43:11. > :43:15.noise. Casey having a shot at the 15th, you can see the top of the
:43:16. > :43:30.flag, going with the wood, narrow parting surface, back into the wind.
:43:31. > :43:34.-- putting surface. Oh! Dear. Cutting spin, floated in the breeze,
:43:35. > :43:42.a couple of yards it would have been OK, but in the water. 1-over on his
:43:43. > :43:51.round today, even par for the tournament, Matsuyama. Barely
:43:52. > :43:59.touched that. Yes, that is well judged. We will leave him just a
:44:00. > :44:06.kick in birdie. He looks like he has a driving iron, he looks like he's
:44:07. > :44:17.having a shy at the green. Go, please go! Fantastic shot, played a
:44:18. > :44:20.little bit to the right, landed on the broadest part of the green. He
:44:21. > :44:25.was praying and his prayers were answered.
:44:26. > :44:30.Checking on the leaderboard, second round, most of the way through,
:44:31. > :44:31.Jordan Spieth currently leads by two shots from McIlroy, DeChambeau and a
:44:32. > :44:40.couple of strokes behind. DeChambeau from over the green at
:44:41. > :44:52.15. Two hops, on the green, well judged. You've got to hand it to the
:44:53. > :45:00.young amateur. Man, straight up in the air. Magnificent shot. We saw
:45:01. > :45:12.Sergio play a beauty and you can hardly do it any better than that.
:45:13. > :45:15.That is an absolute cracker Jack. Downhill, Spieth for an eagle
:45:16. > :45:19.That is an absolute cracker Jack. 15th. We've only seen one here so
:45:20. > :45:26.far today. He's got the line right, has he got the pace? Go on, go all
:45:27. > :45:28.the way. Good effort, high-quality well played hole. Good tee shot,
:45:29. > :45:38.lovely iron. Chris Wood, well played hole. Good tee shot,
:45:39. > :45:45.approach, pin high at the 18th, good angle to putt from. Turn, yes. Like
:45:46. > :45:52.a lot of rounds it has been up and down for Chris Wood but he's
:45:53. > :45:58.whacking the clubhouse at 1-under, 72, 73, good effortful stop Paul
:45:59. > :46:03.Casey to save par at 15. That is not going to move. Disappointing six
:46:04. > :46:11.here for going to move. Disappointing six
:46:12. > :46:17.Championship. Coming up the final hole, Tom Watson. This, we are told,
:46:18. > :46:28.will be his final appearance in the Masters. He won it twice. This
:46:29. > :46:33.probably never happens in any other form of sport, because they don't
:46:34. > :46:46.play the game that late. Time to enjoy a past champion and relive
:46:47. > :46:51.memories of days gone by. DeChambeau into outright second place, two
:46:52. > :46:56.behind Spieth. What a round of golf, my goodness. Wouldn't it be nice,
:46:57. > :47:00.Peter, if he Holding this all the way down the green for a birdie. It
:47:01. > :47:05.would be a miracle. He is aiming way off, just tickles it to the top of
:47:06. > :47:13.the hill. It looks as if he's made an awful mistake. Until the old sat
:47:14. > :47:19.nav cuts in. You may be right, he couldn't... That is a brilliant way
:47:20. > :47:23.to finish. couldn't... That is a brilliant way
:47:24. > :47:25.Sunday, not Saturday, Friday, that would have made a complete. At a
:47:26. > :47:31.great finish, just a would have made a complete. At a
:47:32. > :47:37.many. The course was too big for him really. But he played some beautiful
:47:38. > :47:48.shots. And he had some fun on the seniors Tour. There is his wife. In
:47:49. > :47:56.she goes and that's bit. The end of competitiveness here at Augusta. 66,
:47:57. > :48:01.about the right time to call it a day, clickety click, not too bad at
:48:02. > :48:12.all. Spieth on the right level. Putting
:48:13. > :48:18.along but a big misjudgement. He has not had his a game on the greens as
:48:19. > :48:28.greens as far as touch is concerned. Matsuyama at the 14th after that
:48:29. > :48:36.beautiful second shot. Slowly back, follow-through, in. Beauty. Not too
:48:37. > :48:42.many threes at the 14th today. Casey, his putt straight up the
:48:43. > :48:50.hill, judging the pace is not easy. Oh! It's gone back to his feet. That
:48:51. > :48:57.is a serious mistake. He dropped a shot at the par-5 15th after a
:48:58. > :49:06.good-looking second shot. That is not good. It does make you look
:49:07. > :49:13.rather foolish. The final scenes for Tom Watson as he moves away, shaking
:49:14. > :49:23.a few hands, a hug from dear Mrs Watson. Well done. Twice a winner,
:49:24. > :49:29.three times a run-up, the open champion five times, the old Kansas
:49:30. > :49:36.City kid has done well. Spieth has holed these time and time again.
:49:37. > :49:43.Yesterday he holed everything, here is another one on the right edge.
:49:44. > :49:46.He's pushed it. It has been a different day on the greens today,
:49:47. > :49:54.Peter. He's been much quicker and he's looked a bit jumpy. Very quick
:49:55. > :50:01.motions, movements, and agitated. A different player from yesterday.
:50:02. > :50:05.STUDIO: That is a third Ogita go with a double bogey for Jordan
:50:06. > :50:09.Spieth, he still has a two shot advantage but it is proving a very
:50:10. > :50:13.different data -- third bogey. The older generation the last few
:50:14. > :50:17.moments have been all about, as Tom Watson says farewell at the end of a
:50:18. > :50:22.43rd Masters campaign. Mr Watson, thank you for coming in.
:50:23. > :50:26.Can you describe the emotions as you walked up the 18th fairway? I didn't
:50:27. > :50:32.think I would have any tears but when I talked to my caddy, Niall, I
:50:33. > :50:38.said you are a great part of what I am, who I am on the golf course, you
:50:39. > :50:44.are a big part of my life and I started to tear up a bit. He is such
:50:45. > :50:52.a fine man. I was here with my friends and my family for the last,
:50:53. > :50:55.not the last go at Augusta, I didn't totally stink up the joint but I
:50:56. > :50:59.could have done a bit better and maybe made the cut, it would have
:51:00. > :51:04.been nice to do that and make the weekend. But the course is big for
:51:05. > :51:12.me. I said I'm glad I don't have to play the 18th hole, 495 yard up the
:51:13. > :51:15.hill par-4, I hit driver and 5-wood, really good driver and 5-wood and
:51:16. > :51:27.the other guys are hitting seven and eight I ams in there. It's time for
:51:28. > :51:35.me to say no mas.. Well above Rose's feet, good to get to the flag from.
:51:36. > :51:39.Don't, that is cruel. I think there is grass down there but it went over
:51:40. > :51:49.the edge at speed. I think it is in a little brook. Spieth is going to
:51:50. > :51:53.play this one. Got it a little bit high, pitched on the upslope and it
:51:54. > :52:04.sat up on him. He is therefore three. Parting for par, putting to
:52:05. > :52:08.remain level. It is a town short. He has not putted well at all today. --
:52:09. > :52:22.it had short. Spieth at the 17th, this is for a
:52:23. > :52:29.par-4. He dropped a stroke at the previous hole. And he has dropped
:52:30. > :52:38.another one here. How they slip away.
:52:39. > :52:47.STUDIO: Jordan Spieth beginning to leak shots, another one gone and now
:52:48. > :52:54.the gap is only one shot. Rory Mcllroy and Bryson DeChambeau firmly
:52:55. > :52:58.on his tail and DeChambeau still placed to post the best score of the
:52:59. > :53:00.day if he can safely negotiate the 18th.
:53:01. > :53:06.COMMENTATOR: At the 18th, DeChambeau is looking very good at the moment,
:53:07. > :53:10.3-under, drives it. Hello, he's given that a twist of the left into
:53:11. > :53:15.the big trees over the top of the crowd. That is a very bad area to
:53:16. > :53:34.hit the ball. It may never be seen again. Nicholson at 15. Uh oh! Uh
:53:35. > :53:42.oh! That is gone. He's just got to get it past the front bunker. Don't
:53:43. > :53:46.drift right, the lucky. He's not lucky. It is all falling to pieces.
:53:47. > :53:53.That is a treacherous shot out of that bunker. He had all sorts of
:53:54. > :53:58.problems in the rough behind the hospitality pavilions. He's had to
:53:59. > :54:01.drop out, now this is his fourth shot with all the penalties and
:54:02. > :54:06.drops, and it has taken about ten minutes. This is a difficult one,
:54:07. > :54:14.he's got to slide it up and cut it over the trees come and try to get
:54:15. > :54:19.it in front of the green. Which he has done in fine style. That is
:54:20. > :54:24.almost a miracle shot, he is there, sadly in four. He's going to have to
:54:25. > :54:39.call on all of his talent here to get this close.
:54:40. > :54:55.This is to avoid double bogey at 15. No, Mickelson.
:54:56. > :55:00.Jordan Spieth to save par and to retain a 1-shot lead. He buries it,
:55:01. > :55:08.and he will be the clubhouse leader. After round two, that is quite an
:55:09. > :55:13.achievement. Six consecutive rounds that Jordan Spieth has held or
:55:14. > :55:16.shared the lead, and that ties Arnold Palmer for the most rounds
:55:17. > :55:30.out front. This is for triple bogey. That is a
:55:31. > :55:41.shame, Peter. He played so well all day long, a couple of mental errors
:55:42. > :55:47.and a double-cross on 18. Home in 38 with seven at the last.
:55:48. > :55:55.It is all to play for over the weekend.
:55:56. > :56:00.STUDIO: It's been another day firsts for Jordan Spieth but perhaps
:56:01. > :56:06.not the kind he wanted. The first four putt in that round ever at
:56:07. > :56:07.Augusta and the first round he's been over par here at Augusta
:56:08. > :57:14.National. 74 lots of fun for both of us even
:57:15. > :57:21.though it would be a grind. Hideki Matsuyama's second to the
:57:22. > :57:24.18th of the best iron players in the world, and he was here 1-under for
:57:25. > :57:29.the round, but this one wasn't enough and it would creep back off
:57:30. > :57:34.the fringe and he made bogey for an even par around. He is one of only
:57:35. > :57:37.seven men now under par at the half stage of the Masters and Jordan
:57:38. > :57:41.Spieth has gone backwards but still holds the outright lead at 4-under
:57:42. > :57:46.par, one shot ahead of Rory Mcllroy with Danny Lee and Scott Piercy
:57:47. > :57:50.within two shots. Further down Bryson DeChambeau will regret the
:57:51. > :57:54.events at the 18th, or there will be a few more regrets amongst those who
:57:55. > :57:59.didn't make the cut, including five former champions. There is Phil
:58:00. > :58:03.Mickelson, his first-ever round -- West of around. Ian Woosnam's last
:58:04. > :58:09.time round Augusta 25 years after his victory here. We say farewell to
:58:10. > :58:13.Ian in competition. At the head of the field it's going to be Rory and
:58:14. > :58:17.Jordan, never paired together at the weekend in any event. We are getting
