The bear has hibernation. Beautifully done. | :00:36. | :00:43. | |
The bear has That's the way champions do it. Yes! | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
Terrific stuff. You little beauty. That's the way champions do it. Yes! | :00:47. | :00:53. | |
One of the epic performances in At the end of the opening day of the | :00:54. | :01:16. | |
88th Masters we had a real feeling of deja vu. 12 months ago Jordan | :01:17. | :01:22. | |
Spieth left everyone in his wake as he made a record-breaking claim to | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
the green jacket. 12 months later the 22-year-old defending champion | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
from Texas was at it again, despite the fact on a windblown opening day | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
there was a posse of Europeans on full sail, Spieth was threatening to | :01:37. | :01:38. | |
There are those who drive up the disappear over the horizon. | :01:39. | :01:46. | |
There are those who drive up the lane at Augusta and feel at home. | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
Jordan Spieth came in with little form by his high standards, but did | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
what he does, 25 putts on those beautiful and wicked greens, to get | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
66. For others the beauty was harder to find, Rickie Fowler shot 80, Adam | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
Scott 76, and the sorry sight of Ernie Els with six putts on the | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
opening hole, demons in his head. Spieth was on top, where with the | :02:12. | :02:17. | |
other members of the so-called big three? Jason Day was in close | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
pursuit until the water claimed him on 16. McIlroy moved to 4-under but | :02:21. | :02:28. | |
stumbled over the final three holes. 70, a solid start. European | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
challenge was strong, Ireland's Shane Lowry finished with 68. Sergio | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
Garcia just a shot further back. On the same 3-under Mark, 20 years | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
after Nick Faldo's last English win, three were hoping to do the same, | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
Paul Casey, Ian Poulter and Justin Rose, the runner-up last year was | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
well placed again. But the man who beat him then, Jordan Spieth, was in | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
front again. Just another day for the young master, where in this most | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
extraordinary place, leading the Masters seems the most ordinary | :03:03. | :03:03. | |
thing in the world. Jordan Spieth's overnight lead was | :03:04. | :03:14. | |
two shots after the opening 66 going into Friday. The sixth straight | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
round he has helped the outright lead here. | :03:18. | :03:24. | |
17 years and counting since the last European winner here. With Shane | :03:25. | :03:33. | |
Lowry, Poulter, Danny Willett, Rory McIlroy among those within four | :03:34. | :03:40. | |
shots, everything seems doable. Only 20 players breaking par on a | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
blustery day. Jordan Spieth really didn't like handing back his green | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
jacket when he pitched up down Magnolia Lane earlier in the week. | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
How he would love to hang onto it for another year and take it back to | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
his Dallas home. He, like everyone else, will have to cope with tricky | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
conditions once again. The weather forecast was for more of the same as | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
day one, strong breezes coming through the trees and swirling | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
around making club selection and putting tricky on the Lassie dreams. | :04:12. | :04:19. | |
Spieth happy afternoon start. Those teeing off in the morning tried to | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
bridge the gap. -- on the glassy greens. Scott Piercy at the 3rd, | :04:25. | :04:34. | |
Flowering Peach, and this was a fine putt. He moved to 4-under for the | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
tournament, and within two of Spieth. Scott Piercy joining Danny | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
Lee and Denmark's Soren Kjeldsen, who birdied the second to make | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
progress of his own. Shane Lowry had an opening bogey to drop back into | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
the group at 3-under. Justin Rose and Paul Casey are yet to get | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
underway. Ian Poulter, two over after six for his round. Rob | :04:58. | :05:04. | |
world under one Jason Day at the 5th hole, and we are in the Company of | :05:05. | :05:13. | |
Ken Brown and Paul Azinger. COMMENTATOR: The pin in a very | :05:14. | :05:20. | |
awkward spot at number five, in the upper bluff. Get up... It has. You | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
will not see a better one than that today. Almost impossible to get up | :05:27. | :05:28. | |
that flag. It's a beauty. Rory McIlroy the second. Enormous | :05:29. | :05:40. | |
tee shot here with the hole to the father -- to the far left of the | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
green. No chance to get it close. That's likely pretty close to where | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
he was aiming. Good shot. Jason Day for birdie, the Greens are | :05:52. | :06:10. | |
quicker than yesterday. Dried out under the blustery wind. 1-under for | :06:11. | :06:17. | |
the day, 1-under in total. Handy start. | :06:18. | :06:26. | |
Sergio Garcia for birdie at the 3rd. It's so fast down the hill. Well | :06:27. | :06:36. | |
holed for Sergio. He's made some of those look pretty easy this week. | :06:37. | :06:46. | |
Rory has putted up to here at the 2nd. Well judged for his birdie. The | :06:47. | :06:53. | |
pin on a shallow point of the green. Perfect start, 3-under par. Par at | :06:54. | :07:01. | |
the tricky first, birdie at the 2nd. Danny Willett with a virtual kick in | :07:02. | :07:09. | |
at the 3rd. There are no gimmes at Augusta. The edges are so sharp. | :07:10. | :07:19. | |
Well holed. Big tee shot up the third for Rory. A short par-4, | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
trying to skid up to the green. Should have a bit of grab. Not bad, | :07:24. | :07:31. | |
leaving himself a sniff of another Berdych -- birdie chance. | :07:32. | :07:41. | |
Jason Day, trying to lay up at number eight. It sounded good, a | :07:42. | :07:47. | |
little long, but not bad. Better than being short, I can assure you. | :07:48. | :07:56. | |
Slippery putt down the hill for Rory. Left-to-right. Glassy. He's | :07:57. | :08:09. | |
done it. Perfect start, par, birdie, birdie, 4-under par, 2-under for his | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
round today. Couldn't ask for better. From one fast putt to | :08:14. | :08:20. | |
another. Jason Day down the hill at eight. That's just perfect speed, | :08:21. | :08:29. | |
dead in the centre of the hole. Good comeback for Jason Day. The second | :08:30. | :08:38. | |
nine yesterday, 41 coming back. 41 was no good. Rory McIlroy for bogey | :08:39. | :08:49. | |
at before. It's a long par-3. My goodness. Tom Watson now driving. | :08:50. | :08:59. | |
APPLAUSE Tom Watson, a two time Masters | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
champion, he made it known this would be his last go round Augusta | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
National. Hoping to get two more days in and stay for the weekend. | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
What a player, what a career. Charley Hoffman now driving... The | :09:14. | :09:43. | |
fourth is a horrible sliding left-to-right for McIlroy. He's | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
dropped two shots, back to where he started. What a shame. Actor 2-under | :09:50. | :10:00. | |
par. -- back to 2-under par. This is how it looks... Jordan Spieth is yet | :10:01. | :10:02. | |
Not many players under par. The early part of the day's play has | :10:03. | :10:23. | |
been tricky. The breeze swirling in the trees. 18 players under par. | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
McIlroy at the back of the 15th, the trees. 18 players under par. | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
awkward pin, carried too far and went over the back. Not carried far | :10:32. | :10:41. | |
enough. Double bogey at the 4th. This will be his fourth when it | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
stops, easier than last time, but a tricky pitch that he has left | :10:47. | :10:53. | |
himself. It's not an overly difficult | :10:54. | :10:55. | |
himself. It's not an overly Willett. Plenty of green to work | :10:56. | :11:03. | |
with. It depends on the lie. Is he going up and coming back? No. That | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
wasn't his best, that's for sure. Rory has this | :11:08. | :11:22. | |
Actually a pretty good bogey in the end. A marvellous start, but he has | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
frittered three strokes away in two holes. Easily done, but so painful. | :11:29. | :11:35. | |
Unfortunately for Danny Willett, he has this for par and its blazing | :11:36. | :11:43. | |
fast. Just taps it, and it was left all the way. | :11:44. | :11:49. | |
Bogey for Danny Willett and a dropped shot at seven. | :11:50. | :11:59. | |
The defending champion is wandering onto the tee, getting a | :12:00. | :12:07. | |
The defending champion is wandering welcome. 66 yesterday, had one of | :12:08. | :12:13. | |
those days on the greens, 25 putts. Not often you finish in the | :12:14. | :12:16. | |
clubhouse and say, I couldn't have scored any lower. Rory for a par | :12:17. | :12:23. | |
save at the difficult sixth. It turned quite a bit at the end, well | :12:24. | :12:33. | |
holed. Three is a great score at the 6th today, especially following | :12:34. | :12:34. | |
Garcia at the double bogey, bogey. | :12:35. | :12:50. | |
Garcia at the one to the pin. Man, very rare you | :12:51. | :12:52. | |
see that back up to the green when the breeze is holding. It's a | :12:53. | :12:55. | |
cracker. Not many smiles but he's playing darn well. After a good tee | :12:56. | :13:05. | |
shot at the 1st, Jordan Spieth aiming at the hole on the back of | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
the green to the far right-hand side. You can't go long here. And | :13:11. | :13:16. | |
the right is no bargain either. It sounded OK. He gave it a twirl. | :13:17. | :13:23. | |
Terrific shot. Good start for Jordan Spieth. | :13:24. | :13:36. | |
Garcia to move to 4-under. Sweetly done, a nice wordy at eight. -- a | :13:37. | :13:47. | |
nice birdie. Right in the mix. Bryson Dechambeau. He could become | :13:48. | :14:05. | |
the most interesting golfer in the world here with a little bit more | :14:06. | :14:13. | |
success. Won the NCAAs. And he chips in. What a start! Won the NCAAs and | :14:14. | :14:22. | |
the amateur Championship in the same year, one of only five players to do | :14:23. | :14:27. | |
that. The first playing extremely difficult, straight into the wind | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
today. He will be happy with that birdie, especially from straight | :14:32. | :14:34. | |
over the green, it was really fast. Jordan Spieth has a big break from | :14:35. | :14:40. | |
left-to-right. He's onto the right allege. Started where he left off. | :14:41. | :14:48. | |
Fabulous start, 7-under par, the cheers ringing around the course. | :14:49. | :15:00. | |
He's off running. Magical. Jordan Spieth is underway after a beautiful | :15:01. | :15:01. | |
birdie on the difficult 1st hole. To the second green, the monster | :15:02. | :15:27. | |
par-5 downhill. Paul Casey, 3-under, third shot, and that's pretty good. | :15:28. | :15:31. | |
Better than pretty good. Mighty fine. Nice to see him playing well. | :15:32. | :15:43. | |
Now, Jason Day studying this one. It looks beautiful, but danger all | :15:44. | :15:44. | |
around. Tumbling down. The ball was above him. Sometimes | :15:45. | :15:58. | |
you can overcompensate, out to the right. Oh dear. So close to being a | :15:59. | :16:05. | |
wonderful shot, but Daly into the water. -- but Jason Day into the | :16:06. | :16:15. | |
water. On the second green, Paul Casey played a good shot from the | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
bunker and that moves him to 4-under. Nice start for Paul. | :16:20. | :16:27. | |
He has taken a drop, this is the fourth shot. It didn't sound clean | :16:28. | :16:36. | |
at all. Into the water again. Horrors at the 13th for Jason Day. | :16:37. | :16:43. | |
All gone wrong. He will be pitching six on this par-5. | :16:44. | :16:48. | |
Chris Wood at the 5th. Very underrated hole, the fifth. Very | :16:49. | :16:56. | |
tricky green, monster putt for birdie. Bob, down and round, and | :16:57. | :17:03. | |
it's in there. You never know, it's a silly old game. Great start for | :17:04. | :17:11. | |
Chris Wood. 2-under par. Got away with it, he stuffed it into the | :17:12. | :17:17. | |
creek, but chipped to hear, Jason Day. This to drop just one shot at | :17:18. | :17:24. | |
the par-5. Tracking well and in it goes. If there can be such a good | :17:25. | :17:30. | |
thing, a good bogey. He has been twice into the creek. Yet he only | :17:31. | :17:36. | |
drops one shot. Having to work hard at the moment, hanging on, Jason | :17:37. | :17:41. | |
Day. The second nine has not been kind to him, but the course has been | :17:42. | :17:48. | |
nine to our leader at the 3rd. Jordan Spieth, a tremendous tee shot | :17:49. | :17:52. | |
and a simple looking pitch to the green. It spins, magnificent result. | :17:53. | :17:58. | |
That's a certain three. He will move to 7-under. Is it a runaway? A long | :17:59. | :18:07. | |
way to go yet. Shane Lowry in the Valley in the ninth. Everybody | :18:08. | :18:15. | |
hitting big drives today. It goes back. Or won't it? Wonderful from | :18:16. | :18:25. | |
Shane Lowry. Just about concede him that. It will be 3-under with 1-over | :18:26. | :18:30. | |
to the turn full hourly. He will be out in 37 if he knocks that in. -- | :18:31. | :18:38. | |
to the turn for Lowry. Danny Willett at 16. Keeping things going very | :18:39. | :18:44. | |
nicely. Vista moved to 4-under. Up the hill, a bit. -- this to move to | :18:45. | :18:49. | |
4-under. Jordan Spieth with a tap in birdie | :18:50. | :19:03. | |
on the 3rd hole, he moves to 8-under. Four clear of closest | :19:04. | :19:07. | |
pursuer Danny Lee. Anything around par in these | :19:08. | :19:18. | |
conditions will stand you in good stead. | :19:19. | :19:24. | |
The good young Frenchman, won the amateur Championship at Carnoustie | :19:25. | :19:36. | |
last year, and whoa! Very French and flamboyant. He's well on his way to | :19:37. | :19:42. | |
making the cut. Bryson Dechambeau will be challenging for top amateur | :19:43. | :19:55. | |
honours as well, but well done to Langasque. And Jordan Spieth has | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
missed one! McIlroy with some work to do for par | :20:00. | :20:06. | |
at 11. Trouble here yesterday and again | :20:07. | :20:21. | |
today. McIlroy bogey at the 4th, great start after birdies at the 2nd | :20:22. | :20:29. | |
and third, bogeys at four and five, and another one on 11, starting to | :20:30. | :20:36. | |
slip back. Costly. Spieth at the 5th. It should be a formality. Three | :20:37. | :20:43. | |
or four feet. Just a little tap in, but not just a little tap in! There | :20:44. | :20:51. | |
is a very rare sight. He has gone a couple of feet past at least. Well, | :20:52. | :20:53. | |
well, well. Paul Casey, he will have seen how | :20:54. | :21:04. | |
difficult this hole can be with Spieth's putt, but he rattles in | :21:05. | :21:13. | |
with some confidence. A couple of bogeys, but that run comes to an | :21:14. | :21:19. | |
end. Danny Lee at 18, who has kept his game together very well, tapping | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
in a bogey. It's 2-under for the tournament, and that's very good | :21:25. | :21:26. | |
playing in deed under these conditions. I think it's a bit more | :21:27. | :21:29. | |
difficult than yesterday, and that conditions. I think it's a bit more | :21:30. | :21:33. | |
might be because of Finn placement and the speed of the greens. A lot | :21:34. | :21:37. | |
of work to do before we make the cut tonight. I think a few people have | :21:38. | :21:42. | |
been writing off this tournament saying Spieth was running away, he | :21:43. | :21:46. | |
was going to win, but this putt is for double bogey. Suddenly two shots | :21:47. | :21:53. | |
gone, that's how quickly things can change at Augusta even for the very | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
best putter in the world. A couple of early birdies at a double bogey | :21:58. | :22:03. | |
at five. Spieth still leading by three ahead of Scott Piercy and | :22:04. | :22:09. | |
Justin Rose. The New Zealand economy Danny Lee, 74 today, but 2-under | :22:10. | :22:14. | |
overall and very well placed. After a miscue at 15, Spieth on 16. -- the | :22:15. | :22:18. | |
New Zealander, ... The winds swirling around. That's | :22:19. | :22:35. | |
what I'm talking about right there. That's the question asked you. Where | :22:36. | :22:41. | |
is the sweet boy we knew of yesteryear? Can there be an evil bit | :22:42. | :22:48. | |
of him lurking under that sweet facade? I fancy so. Bubba Watson has | :22:49. | :22:55. | |
had a wonderful second shot at 18. I fancy this is to make the cut. I | :22:56. | :23:03. | |
think 5-over will make it. Bubba, Bubba. Can't understand it. 6-over | :23:04. | :23:10. | |
might still make it, but it's a stretch. Such high hopes for Bubba | :23:11. | :23:15. | |
Watson coming into this tournament. Two 75s. Spieth went right through | :23:16. | :23:23. | |
the crowd, didn't hurt anybody and chipped back to here. Long putt for | :23:24. | :23:32. | |
par-3 on this 6th hole. Can he? He has, and that's a huge save. | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
Conscious competence if ever I saw some. Stays at 6-under, and looking | :23:37. | :23:45. | |
good. Not been a good day for Ian Poulter. Can he finish well? | :23:46. | :23:55. | |
Hugely frustrating. That would have just redeemed a lot of the bad | :23:56. | :24:02. | |
things that have happened to him today. Started off 3-under after a | :24:03. | :24:05. | |
wonderful 69 yesterday. That's a today. Started off 3-under after a | :24:06. | :24:12. | |
here for the weekend, but a much earlier start tomorrow. 14th hole, | :24:13. | :24:21. | |
Garcia, 1-under. Difficult flag position at 14 with humps and bumps | :24:22. | :24:29. | |
and all sorts of slopes. But that's beautifully judged. Great result and | :24:30. | :24:35. | |
the chance of a birdie. Very good shot indeed from Garcia. | :24:36. | :24:41. | |
This isn't too bad for Jordan Spieth. A bad second shot from a | :24:42. | :24:51. | |
tricky position. That was a good sound. Good shot. We can give him | :24:52. | :24:59. | |
that, I think. He makes it look very simple, a beautifully played shot. | :25:00. | :25:07. | |
Dark clouds are behind him. Now Garcia, a wonderful second shot in | :25:08. | :25:13. | |
here. So difficult to get it on the correct part of the green. | :25:14. | :25:18. | |
Beautifully finished out. Well done to Sergio Garcia after bogey on the | :25:19. | :25:23. | |
13th, which was wasteful. Back to 2-under. | :25:24. | :25:31. | |
McIlroy at the 13th, the par-5, this is for birdie. He needs something to | :25:32. | :25:39. | |
happen. That's better. Another par-5 coming up at 15. Chances. He's had a | :25:40. | :25:50. | |
bit of a mishmash sort of day so far, and he knows it. Bryson | :25:51. | :25:52. | |
Dechambeau. In it goes. He looks like a very | :25:53. | :26:04. | |
tidy, if somewhat unorthodox player. A lot of other people might start | :26:05. | :26:11. | |
trying his clubs. The Sham Bo, just off the first page of the | :26:12. | :26:14. | |
leaderboard, which is headed by playing partner Jordan Spieth. | :26:15. | :26:32. | |
Jordan Spieth got a good break by missing this bunker at eight to the | :26:33. | :26:42. | |
right. Second shot. And he's just let go. Not clicking on all | :26:43. | :26:48. | |
cylinders today, but that won't hurt much at all. It's actually a pretty | :26:49. | :26:55. | |
easy pitch back up there, about 50 yards or so. Jason Day to finish out | :26:56. | :27:03. | |
with par... No. He was going so well yesterday, getting to 5-under, then | :27:04. | :27:06. | |
slipping back on the back nine. Today he has missed a few shots. | :27:07. | :27:16. | |
Three bogeys on the back nine. Some way back going into the weekend. | :27:17. | :27:21. | |
Jordan Spieth from more than 50 yards, probably closer to 70 or 80. | :27:22. | :27:28. | |
And that's nearly perfectly judged. Wow, that stopped fast. | :27:29. | :27:33. | |
Scott Piercy Fairly steady round, round in level | :27:34. | :27:45. | |
par, back in 1-over. 2-under for the tournament. | :27:46. | :27:50. | |
Jordan Spieth for birdie at eight after a lovely wedge shot downwind. | :27:51. | :28:01. | |
Good, aggressive stroke. He's got it. Well holed, maybe that will | :28:02. | :28:08. | |
right be shipped a little bit for Jordan. He has been up and down like | :28:09. | :28:15. | |
a yo-yo today. Birdies, bogeys, double bogeys. Well holed for birdie | :28:16. | :28:21. | |
at eight. Paul Casey needs this. Bogeys at three, four and six. | :28:22. | :28:28. | |
Birdie at eight. Heading in the right direction again, getting back | :28:29. | :28:29. | |
to 2-under. 1-over for the day. Shane Lowry at 15. Level for the | :28:30. | :28:51. | |
tournament. Good birdie here. Led the field yesterday in greens in | :28:52. | :28:58. | |
regulation. Very difficult out there today. Double bogey at the short | :28:59. | :29:11. | |
12th hole. Now Justin Rose. Oh, that will be a 3-putt for Justin Rose | :29:12. | :29:19. | |
here. Unfortunate bogey. McIlroy with his second to 15, taking it on | :29:20. | :29:28. | |
and twirling away. Sit, sit! Does it need to sit? He's one of the few | :29:29. | :29:31. | |
players who can hit that high and get it to land that softly. The 15th | :29:32. | :29:36. | |
becomes a little bit less intimidating. Wonderful shot. Henrik | :29:37. | :29:41. | |
Stenson so close to falling back down the slope at six, but it goes | :29:42. | :29:45. | |
in for the Swede. Stenson doesn't have a great record at the Masters, | :29:46. | :29:48. | |
but into sub par figures. Jordan Spieth at the 9th, dangerous | :29:49. | :30:03. | |
hole location here. And that's why. He just misjudged it by a yard or | :30:04. | :30:09. | |
two. Who knows when that will start rolling. Goodness. | :30:10. | :30:23. | |
It was a towering second shot from McIlroy. This is quick, for eagle, | :30:24. | :30:34. | |
it says. Two putts for a birdie would be gratefully received. That | :30:35. | :30:37. | |
is a very nice roll from McIlroy. DeChambeau, the amateur at nine, | :30:38. | :30:54. | |
it's all about getting the right distance here. Will it come back? | :30:55. | :30:57. | |
That should feed all the way back down to the hole. Will it go in? No, | :30:58. | :31:06. | |
it came up just a little bit lacking but what a shot from the amateur. | :31:07. | :31:13. | |
McIlroy then for his four, birdie for Rory Mcllroy. He's starting to | :31:14. | :31:21. | |
make of it of ground. Bolli the two par fives, that is what you do, 13 | :31:22. | :31:29. | |
and 15. -- birdie. Jordan Spieth chipping into the green and back up | :31:30. | :31:32. | |
the hill, I don't believe that is going to make it. Not a good effort | :31:33. | :31:41. | |
at all. That brings double bogey into the equation for Jordan. | :31:42. | :31:49. | |
Tee shot for McIlroy on the 16th, the pin on the back right today, 176 | :31:50. | :31:58. | |
yards. This looks like a pretty good line. Stay there. That's OK. Now, | :31:59. | :32:12. | |
Bryson DeChambeau trying to capitalise on that terrific shot | :32:13. | :32:23. | |
here on nine, and he has done it. He is going to feel pressure like he's | :32:24. | :32:25. | |
never felt before. Rose to save par. Costly, three bogeys in the last | :32:26. | :32:54. | |
four. Rory Mcllroy, down the hill, big left-to-right swinger. This is a | :32:55. | :33:02. | |
lovely effort here. Is it ever! What they putt from Rory Mcllroy. | :33:03. | :33:10. | |
Spieth for a bogey. Not too bad to drop just one after his travails | :33:11. | :33:31. | |
there. It all adds up to level par front nine. So, Jordan Spieth is | :33:32. | :33:38. | |
three clear of Rory Mcllroy, making his move, Danny Lee with 74, Scott | :33:39. | :33:44. | |
Piercy completed his round, Paul Casey Henny in, Bryson DeChambeau | :33:45. | :33:47. | |
the leading amateur playing, wonderful golf from the young | :33:48. | :33:52. | |
American. Jordan Spieth has missed yet another green, he's got to pitch | :33:53. | :34:00. | |
it back up the hill into the 10th. It's easily done there. You | :34:01. | :34:04. | |
certainly can't come up short. It's always more difficult when you are | :34:05. | :34:11. | |
chipping into the green like that to just gun it a little bit. That will | :34:12. | :34:15. | |
be a difficult and delicate putt down the hill for par. He has played | :34:16. | :34:23. | |
good golf today, Garcia, but dropped a shot on the 17th, and here he has | :34:24. | :34:29. | |
a little left to right one on the final. That is cruel cruel, cruel. | :34:30. | :34:36. | |
Bogey, bogey, bogey finish for Sergio Garcia, round of 75, back to | :34:37. | :34:42. | |
level par for the tournament. Still not out of it but an expensive | :34:43. | :34:43. | |
finish. Jordan Spieth now for par, dicey | :34:44. | :35:06. | |
little putt, down the hill. Settle. Is always rolls out that extra foot. | :35:07. | :35:13. | |
McIlroy setting up for the feed here on the 18th. Has he overdone it? | :35:14. | :35:25. | |
Trees, in trouble, McIlroy finds it. Shane Lowry, can he finished with a | :35:26. | :35:32. | |
par here and finish with red figures? Push, push, push. That is a | :35:33. | :35:37. | |
pity, he has struggled today figures? Push, push, push. That is a | :35:38. | :35:40. | |
many other players. figures? Push, push, push. That is a | :35:41. | :35:47. | |
be a round of 76 for Shane Lowry. 4-under yesterday, for over today, | :35:48. | :35:52. | |
struggling for the moment, bogeys on the opening two holes and bogey to | :35:53. | :35:58. | |
finish with. -- four over today. This is where McIlroy ended up at | :35:59. | :36:02. | |
the 18th, not the place to be, although it is possible to thread | :36:03. | :36:07. | |
one through and find the green. Three or 4-iron, down the shaft, | :36:08. | :36:13. | |
thump it and pray, scuttling up, well, it is out. He is OK. | :36:14. | :36:29. | |
DeChambeau at the 11th. No, no, no, where is he? Not to the left? That | :36:30. | :36:35. | |
is a mistake that has worked out majestically well. | :36:36. | :36:40. | |
It is so important for McIlroy to try and finish well. He made bogey | :36:41. | :36:46. | |
yesterday from a perfect drive. He has been in the trees today. He has | :36:47. | :36:52. | |
a bit of a backstop here, spinning the club, happy, back down, it has | :36:53. | :37:02. | |
to go back down. Just not going to have quite enough. If it had gone | :37:03. | :37:05. | |
further up the slope it would have been better but still a good chance | :37:06. | :37:10. | |
to save par. Two behind Spieth at the moment. Casey for a par. Casey | :37:11. | :37:21. | |
for his part four at the 11th to state two under par. -- stay two | :37:22. | :37:32. | |
under par. Just on the high side. McIlroy now for a par, and he's got | :37:33. | :37:38. | |
it. Well done, that is a great effort. Wild drive into the trees, | :37:39. | :37:44. | |
got it up onto the fairway, wonderful putt, and the drama of the | :37:45. | :37:48. | |
two par threes on the front nine forgotten. Home in 34, 3-under, very | :37:49. | :37:56. | |
much in the hunt. DeChambeau for his birdie on the 11th. Yes, indeed. | :37:57. | :38:02. | |
Birdie on the 11th, how rare that is. STUDIO: Rory McIlroy in sole | :38:03. | :38:11. | |
possession of second place right now after the round of 71 today and at | :38:12. | :38:17. | |
one point he was six or seven shots behind, just two behind. | :38:18. | :38:21. | |
Golf fans everywhere would love to see you lock horns with Jordan | :38:22. | :38:25. | |
Spieth over the weekend. What would you like to see and how much would | :38:26. | :38:28. | |
that get the juices flowing come Saturday and Sunday? Yes, obviously | :38:29. | :38:33. | |
Jordan is the defending champion and playing great here and he's very | :38:34. | :38:38. | |
comfortable on this golf course. I feel like I've got some unfinished | :38:39. | :38:42. | |
business here over the past few years. I would look forward to it. | :38:43. | :38:49. | |
Jordan is playing very, very well and if I were to have a battle with | :38:50. | :38:53. | |
him over the next two days I would enjoy it and hopefully I could just | :38:54. | :38:55. | |
come out on top. DeChambeau on the 12th tee, two | :38:56. | :39:08. | |
under par. Murmuring in the crowd. And, yes, now chairs. | :39:09. | :39:11. | |
CHEERING Beautiful shot, he has birdied the | :39:12. | :39:15. | |
11th and it looks like another one coming up at the 12th. -- Cheers. | :39:16. | :39:25. | |
Justin Rose with a little pitch to the eighth. Just running on a bit. | :39:26. | :39:35. | |
No, nicely judged. That should be a tap in to get him to one under par. | :39:36. | :39:40. | |
DeChambeau hit a marvellous tee shot at the 12th and this is to clean up | :39:41. | :39:46. | |
for birdie. And now Bryson DeChambeau has moved to 3-under, | :39:47. | :39:52. | |
just two shots off the lead. A bit of trouble here for Rose, this is | :39:53. | :39:58. | |
his fourth now, he pitched up to hear from down in the hollow to the | :39:59. | :40:07. | |
left of the green. -- up to here. He would think about Holding that but | :40:08. | :40:13. | |
it is likely to be bogey. -- holing that. This is Paul Casey's tee shot. | :40:14. | :40:19. | |
And it did as well. What a shot from KC. Eagle putt to come. Devouring | :40:20. | :40:31. | |
the 13th Ashun Casey. Quick down the slope for Mickelson, for the three. | :40:32. | :40:36. | |
It needs to settle now. Look at this. Don't look, look away. The | :40:37. | :40:48. | |
very best in the world can be made to look very silly. He has put it | :40:49. | :40:53. | |
off the green, from no great distance but if you are on the wrong | :40:54. | :40:57. | |
part of the greens you are in trouble here at Augusta. Paul Casey | :40:58. | :41:06. | |
now with the shot of the day at 13. This is for eagle. To move him into | :41:07. | :41:12. | |
a tie for second place at three under par. | :41:13. | :41:21. | |
Will it rake? No, he has just overplayed that. I think you miss | :41:22. | :41:29. | |
read that putt. He made a nice stroke, at least. Easy birdie, | :41:30. | :41:38. | |
though. Lee Westwood is doing not too badly. | :41:39. | :41:46. | |
He is hanging in there at one under par. Not too far away. He got here | :41:47. | :41:58. | |
in two on this par-5. That is very, very well judged indeed from Lee | :41:59. | :42:02. | |
Westwood. Birdied the 13th to get back to 1-over and should get back | :42:03. | :42:11. | |
to level here. Jordan Spieth on the 14th. Downhill most of the way, just | :42:12. | :42:16. | |
levels up at the cup a fraction. I have not seen him miss many by | :42:17. | :42:35. | |
that. He's not had a lot of gimme two putts today. This would be a | :42:36. | :42:41. | |
good par save for Paul Casey at 14 if he can make this one. Will it | :42:42. | :42:57. | |
break? No, so close. This green drives -- dries out a bit. This is | :42:58. | :43:03. | |
to save his par. Must have caught the edge of the hole by the crowd | :43:04. | :43:10. | |
noise. Casey having a shot at the 15th, you can see the top of the | :43:11. | :43:15. | |
flag, going with the wood, narrow parting surface, back into the wind. | :43:16. | :43:30. | |
-- putting surface. Oh! Dear. Cutting spin, floated in the breeze, | :43:31. | :43:34. | |
a couple of yards it would have been OK, but in the water. 1-over on his | :43:35. | :43:42. | |
round today, even par for the tournament, Matsuyama. Barely | :43:43. | :43:51. | |
touched that. Yes, that is well judged. We will leave him just a | :43:52. | :43:59. | |
kick in birdie. He looks like he has a driving iron, he looks like he's | :44:00. | :44:06. | |
having a shy at the green. Go, please go! Fantastic shot, played a | :44:07. | :44:17. | |
little bit to the right, landed on the broadest part of the green. He | :44:18. | :44:20. | |
was praying and his prayers were answered. | :44:21. | :44:25. | |
Checking on the leaderboard, second round, most of the way through, | :44:26. | :44:30. | |
Jordan Spieth currently leads by two shots from McIlroy, DeChambeau and a | :44:31. | :44:31. | |
couple of strokes behind. DeChambeau from over the green at | :44:32. | :44:40. | |
15. Two hops, on the green, well judged. You've got to hand it to the | :44:41. | :44:52. | |
young amateur. Man, straight up in the air. Magnificent shot. We saw | :44:53. | :45:00. | |
Sergio play a beauty and you can hardly do it any better than that. | :45:01. | :45:12. | |
That is an absolute cracker Jack. Downhill, Spieth for an eagle | :45:13. | :45:15. | |
That is an absolute cracker Jack. 15th. We've only seen one here so | :45:16. | :45:19. | |
far today. He's got the line right, has he got the pace? Go on, go all | :45:20. | :45:26. | |
the way. Good effort, high-quality well played hole. Good tee shot, | :45:27. | :45:28. | |
lovely iron. Chris Wood, well played hole. Good tee shot, | :45:29. | :45:38. | |
approach, pin high at the 18th, good angle to putt from. Turn, yes. Like | :45:39. | :45:45. | |
a lot of rounds it has been up and down for Chris Wood but he's | :45:46. | :45:52. | |
whacking the clubhouse at 1-under, 72, 73, good effortful stop Paul | :45:53. | :45:58. | |
Casey to save par at 15. That is not going to move. Disappointing six | :45:59. | :46:03. | |
here for going to move. Disappointing six | :46:04. | :46:11. | |
Championship. Coming up the final hole, Tom Watson. This, we are told, | :46:12. | :46:17. | |
will be his final appearance in the Masters. He won it twice. This | :46:18. | :46:28. | |
probably never happens in any other form of sport, because they don't | :46:29. | :46:33. | |
play the game that late. Time to enjoy a past champion and relive | :46:34. | :46:46. | |
memories of days gone by. DeChambeau into outright second place, two | :46:47. | :46:51. | |
behind Spieth. What a round of golf, my goodness. Wouldn't it be nice, | :46:52. | :46:56. | |
Peter, if he Holding this all the way down the green for a birdie. It | :46:57. | :47:00. | |
would be a miracle. He is aiming way off, just tickles it to the top of | :47:01. | :47:05. | |
the hill. It looks as if he's made an awful mistake. Until the old sat | :47:06. | :47:13. | |
nav cuts in. You may be right, he couldn't... That is a brilliant way | :47:14. | :47:19. | |
to finish. couldn't... That is a brilliant way | :47:20. | :47:23. | |
Sunday, not Saturday, Friday, that would have made a complete. At a | :47:24. | :47:25. | |
great finish, just a would have made a complete. At a | :47:26. | :47:31. | |
many. The course was too big for him really. But he played some beautiful | :47:32. | :47:37. | |
shots. And he had some fun on the seniors Tour. There is his wife. In | :47:38. | :47:48. | |
she goes and that's bit. The end of competitiveness here at Augusta. 66, | :47:49. | :47:56. | |
about the right time to call it a day, clickety click, not too bad at | :47:57. | :48:01. | |
all. Spieth on the right level. Putting | :48:02. | :48:12. | |
along but a big misjudgement. He has not had his a game on the greens as | :48:13. | :48:18. | |
greens as far as touch is concerned. Matsuyama at the 14th after that | :48:19. | :48:28. | |
beautiful second shot. Slowly back, follow-through, in. Beauty. Not too | :48:29. | :48:36. | |
many threes at the 14th today. Casey, his putt straight up the | :48:37. | :48:42. | |
hill, judging the pace is not easy. Oh! It's gone back to his feet. That | :48:43. | :48:50. | |
is a serious mistake. He dropped a shot at the par-5 15th after a | :48:51. | :48:57. | |
good-looking second shot. That is not good. It does make you look | :48:58. | :49:06. | |
rather foolish. The final scenes for Tom Watson as he moves away, shaking | :49:07. | :49:13. | |
a few hands, a hug from dear Mrs Watson. Well done. Twice a winner, | :49:14. | :49:23. | |
three times a run-up, the open champion five times, the old Kansas | :49:24. | :49:29. | |
City kid has done well. Spieth has holed these time and time again. | :49:30. | :49:36. | |
Yesterday he holed everything, here is another one on the right edge. | :49:37. | :49:43. | |
He's pushed it. It has been a different day on the greens today, | :49:44. | :49:46. | |
Peter. He's been much quicker and he's looked a bit jumpy. Very quick | :49:47. | :49:54. | |
motions, movements, and agitated. A different player from yesterday. | :49:55. | :50:01. | |
STUDIO: That is a third Ogita go with a double bogey for Jordan | :50:02. | :50:05. | |
Spieth, he still has a two shot advantage but it is proving a very | :50:06. | :50:09. | |
different data -- third bogey. The older generation the last few | :50:10. | :50:13. | |
moments have been all about, as Tom Watson says farewell at the end of a | :50:14. | :50:17. | |
43rd Masters campaign. Mr Watson, thank you for coming in. | :50:18. | :50:22. | |
Can you describe the emotions as you walked up the 18th fairway? I didn't | :50:23. | :50:26. | |
think I would have any tears but when I talked to my caddy, Niall, I | :50:27. | :50:32. | |
said you are a great part of what I am, who I am on the golf course, you | :50:33. | :50:38. | |
are a big part of my life and I started to tear up a bit. He is such | :50:39. | :50:44. | |
a fine man. I was here with my friends and my family for the last, | :50:45. | :50:52. | |
not the last go at Augusta, I didn't totally stink up the joint but I | :50:53. | :50:55. | |
could have done a bit better and maybe made the cut, it would have | :50:56. | :50:59. | |
been nice to do that and make the weekend. But the course is big for | :51:00. | :51:04. | |
me. I said I'm glad I don't have to play the 18th hole, 495 yard up the | :51:05. | :51:12. | |
hill par-4, I hit driver and 5-wood, really good driver and 5-wood and | :51:13. | :51:15. | |
the other guys are hitting seven and eight I ams in there. It's time for | :51:16. | :51:27. | |
me to say no mas.. Well above Rose's feet, good to get to the flag from. | :51:28. | :51:35. | |
Don't, that is cruel. I think there is grass down there but it went over | :51:36. | :51:39. | |
the edge at speed. I think it is in a little brook. Spieth is going to | :51:40. | :51:49. | |
play this one. Got it a little bit high, pitched on the upslope and it | :51:50. | :51:53. | |
sat up on him. He is therefore three. Parting for par, putting to | :51:54. | :52:04. | |
remain level. It is a town short. He has not putted well at all today. -- | :52:05. | :52:08. | |
it had short. Spieth at the 17th, this is for a | :52:09. | :52:22. | |
par-4. He dropped a stroke at the previous hole. And he has dropped | :52:23. | :52:29. | |
another one here. How they slip away. | :52:30. | :52:38. | |
STUDIO: Jordan Spieth beginning to leak shots, another one gone and now | :52:39. | :52:47. | |
the gap is only one shot. Rory Mcllroy and Bryson DeChambeau firmly | :52:48. | :52:54. | |
on his tail and DeChambeau still placed to post the best score of the | :52:55. | :52:58. | |
day if he can safely negotiate the 18th. | :52:59. | :53:00. | |
COMMENTATOR: At the 18th, DeChambeau is looking very good at the moment, | :53:01. | :53:06. | |
3-under, drives it. Hello, he's given that a twist of the left into | :53:07. | :53:10. | |
the big trees over the top of the crowd. That is a very bad area to | :53:11. | :53:15. | |
hit the ball. It may never be seen again. Nicholson at 15. Uh oh! Uh | :53:16. | :53:34. | |
oh! That is gone. He's just got to get it past the front bunker. Don't | :53:35. | :53:42. | |
drift right, the lucky. He's not lucky. It is all falling to pieces. | :53:43. | :53:46. | |
That is a treacherous shot out of that bunker. He had all sorts of | :53:47. | :53:53. | |
problems in the rough behind the hospitality pavilions. He's had to | :53:54. | :53:58. | |
drop out, now this is his fourth shot with all the penalties and | :53:59. | :54:01. | |
drops, and it has taken about ten minutes. This is a difficult one, | :54:02. | :54:06. | |
he's got to slide it up and cut it over the trees come and try to get | :54:07. | :54:14. | |
it in front of the green. Which he has done in fine style. That is | :54:15. | :54:19. | |
almost a miracle shot, he is there, sadly in four. He's going to have to | :54:20. | :54:24. | |
call on all of his talent here to get this close. | :54:25. | :54:39. | |
This is to avoid double bogey at 15. No, Mickelson. | :54:40. | :54:55. | |
Jordan Spieth to save par and to retain a 1-shot lead. He buries it, | :54:56. | :55:00. | |
and he will be the clubhouse leader. After round two, that is quite an | :55:01. | :55:08. | |
achievement. Six consecutive rounds that Jordan Spieth has held or | :55:09. | :55:13. | |
shared the lead, and that ties Arnold Palmer for the most rounds | :55:14. | :55:16. | |
out front. This is for triple bogey. That is a | :55:17. | :55:30. | |
shame, Peter. He played so well all day long, a couple of mental errors | :55:31. | :55:41. | |
and a double-cross on 18. Home in 38 with seven at the last. | :55:42. | :55:47. | |
It is all to play for over the weekend. | :55:48. | :55:55. | |
STUDIO: It's been another day firsts for Jordan Spieth but perhaps | :55:56. | :56:00. | |
not the kind he wanted. The first four putt in that round ever at | :56:01. | :56:06. | |
Augusta and the first round he's been over par here at Augusta | :56:07. | :56:07. | |
National. 74 lots of fun for both of us even | :56:08. | :57:14. | |
though it would be a grind. Hideki Matsuyama's second to the | :57:15. | :57:21. | |
18th of the best iron players in the world, and he was here 1-under for | :57:22. | :57:24. | |
the round, but this one wasn't enough and it would creep back off | :57:25. | :57:29. | |
the fringe and he made bogey for an even par around. He is one of only | :57:30. | :57:34. | |
seven men now under par at the half stage of the Masters and Jordan | :57:35. | :57:37. | |
Spieth has gone backwards but still holds the outright lead at 4-under | :57:38. | :57:41. | |
par, one shot ahead of Rory Mcllroy with Danny Lee and Scott Piercy | :57:42. | :57:46. | |
within two shots. Further down Bryson DeChambeau will regret the | :57:47. | :57:50. | |
events at the 18th, or there will be a few more regrets amongst those who | :57:51. | :57:54. | |
didn't make the cut, including five former champions. There is Phil | :57:55. | :57:59. | |
Mickelson, his first-ever round -- West of around. Ian Woosnam's last | :58:00. | :58:03. | |
time round Augusta 25 years after his victory here. We say farewell to | :58:04. | :58:09. | |
Ian in competition. At the head of the field it's going to be Rory and | :58:10. | :58:13. | |
Jordan, never paired together at the weekend in any event. We are getting | :58:14. | :58:17. | |
ready for live coverage of round three getting underway very shortly | :58:18. | :58:21. | |
today. A whole host of live streams come online from around 4:45pm, | :58:22. | :58:26. | |
including Amen Corner and then we will be on air on BBC Two from | :58:27. | :58:31. | |
7:30pm with live and uninterrupted coverage on Saturday and Sunday | :58:32. | :58:35. | |
nights at the Masters. One of the best parts of any sporting year. We | :58:36. | :58:40. | |
look forward to sharing it all with you. Spieth and McIlroy going | :58:41. | :58:43. | |
head-to-head. I really hope that you will share with us, perhaps a very | :58:44. | :58:48. | |
interesting piece of golfing history, maybe even sporting | :58:49. | :58:53. | |
history. Who will prevail? Will it be read or will it be Jordan, or | :58:54. | :58:58. | |
could it be someone else? Join us to find out -- will it be Rory? | :58:59. | :59:03. |
