Final Day Live Golf: The Masters

This is it. This reminds me of the BBC music you get.

What a way to finish. There it is! Can you believe it?

A victory for the ages. In your life have you ever seen anything like

that? At long last! Bubba Watson is wearing the green jacket. A life

changer. One of the epic performances. Danny Willett is the

Masters champion. Joy unbounded. Good evening from Augusta National

in Georgia, we waited 20 years for another British winner of the green

jacket at the Masters tournament, and last year Danny Willett at

Bligh, he slipped on the coveted jacket. The trend and taste for the

spokes tailoring continues amongst his fellow countrymen, because

Justin Rose 's co-leader into this final round, he shares the lead with

the much loved Spaniard Sergio Garcia. For so long golf's nearly

man. There are no guarantees on Masters Sunday, anything can happen,

and it usually does. Who is in it to win it tonight?

This was the picture heading into the final 18 holes. Justin Rose

aiming to add to his major collection, Sergio Garcia aiming to

start his. Rickie Fowler has performed better than anyone here

this week on the greens. Looking at 4-under, Jordan Spieth, the Masters

machine. He has either finished first or second every time he has

come here, this is the first time he has had to chase the lead on the

final day. 16 players are within six shots, including Adam Scott and

Charl Schwartzel, both former winners.

The players on even with half to have the round of their lives today.

We are five hours behind you. If you would like to head straight out to

the course, there are options to see action around on the red button or

via the website. Full coverage from our American host begins in half an

hour, just after 7pm. But this is shaping up as a classic Masters

Sunday. On the scale of one to ten, how excited are you? It has got to

be a temp, it has been set up, the conditions are perfect, a bit of a

breeze, it is all there of a Sunday. How do you like the leaderboard? It

looks like a Ryder Cup. I imagine Sergio Garcia and Justin Rose

against Rickie Fowler and Jordan Spieth. It is about who wanted the

most. Controlling the controllable is. There is nobody that is afraid

of anybody else, everybody knows everybody quite well. It is like a

pack of lions almost. They all get along until the food shows up, then

it is a fight. Somebody will end up feeling it at some point, their body

will relax and they will feel it. Nerves will not be a big factor

until the end of the day, because they are so comfortable with each

other. They will be playing against themselves to begin with, then they

play against the course. The holes are cut in places on the second

nine, you can see balls feeding in, and it should be exciting. Let the

fireworks begin. It is a fantastic second shot day. The course is set

up with the usual Sunday pin positions, but set up to receive

something like a 66. Somebody can Go Local today. The early holes are

still quite tricky. The back nine is really set up, because it's perfect.

Still a bit of yield from the rain, they will be altogether the ball

just right. There will be bogeys -- birdies and eagles. They will be

making lifeline -- life changing decisions. You have set it up to

deflate! -- beautifully! Was they get going, the nerves will go away,

and we will see some great golf. This is the first time at Augusta

that to Europeans have made up the final pairing. Justin Rose and

Sergio Garcia will be going out at 7:45pm your time.

Rory McIlroy paired again with Matt Kuchar. Paul Casey hopes to fly

under the radar en route to at least a third top-10 finish in a row at

Augusta. Two former champions, Adam Scott and

Charl Schwartzel, they have quietly crept into contention. Ryan Moore

and Charley Hoffman made all the running in the first two days. Great

friends, Rickie Fowler and Jordan Spieth. If they get on a roll, watch

out. The first all European final pairing in Masters history. The

Ryder Cup team-mate. We have got a spectacular Sunday for weather.

Hardly a puff of wind, the war Mr Bridges of the week, touching 80

degrees, it could be a breathtaking day, in so many respects. Our

colleague James pointed out that green and gold are usually the

colour combinations reserved for Australian sportsmen, but it could

be that for Justin Rose today, a green jacket to go with his

gold-medal from the Olympics? Some talents burned so brightly,

there is no way to hide them. Raking 70 at 11, a handicap of plus three

at 14. Stepping into the fears spotlight on the biggest stage of

all, Birkdale, the open. Get in, they cry. And they were

right! Every inch a teenager, but the

smiling one next door. The name made for headlines. Great things were not

too far away. No journeys are smooth, nobody that perfect. Real

life arrived like jolting awake, 21 missed cuts in a row, all done in

that very public glare. The cries about overhyped, the questions and

the sense of turning pro so quickly. But the work continued and

improvements followed, small steps, then victories and titles. There was

still upset and unhappiness, these were victories for an ailing father,

a man who had been a friend and early code and guide, and who was

gone too soon. So to Augusta. Love from early sightings, though not

immediately requested. He led after the opening two rounds in 2004

before faltering. It was still all part of the growing, more experience

had been filed away. The passing years brought a family of his own,

life changing off because, on it he continued to improve. But the time

of the US Open in 2013 he was different, a better player. He took

his first major. Justin Rose has won the US Open, the first English

winner in 43 years. South African born, now living in America, but

there has never been doubt about where Frome is and for whom he

plays. Justin Rose has got it! That was something special. Four times at

the heart of Europe's Ryder Cup team, a key role in the miracle of a

diner. What a finish. He takes out Phil Mickelson. Incredible. Nobody

seemed to enjoy the Olympic experience more than him. On the

cause, unbeatable, a golfing gold medallist. It is gold. Justin Rose

of Great Britain takes Olympic gold. But there remains something

unfinished at Augusta. He has been runner-up, one of those left

trailing by Jordan Spieth two years ago. He is the dream of headline

writers, a rose among the azaleas and Dogwood. He stands so close,

playing golf with the precision he always has, showing the talent we

could always see, and the early hype seems a lifetime ago. Oh, yes. Just

like that. But as everybody knows, it can take a long time to become a

master. Justin walks onto the practice

ground ahead of his tee time at a few moments ago. He understands the

significance of cementing his legacy as a multiple major winner, and this

is the first time he has led or co-lead going into the last round of

any major. He is a great strategist, you admire his thinking? At this

point, feel transport. I can remember what I felt at every

tournament, sorry, what I thought at every tournament, but I cannot

remember what I felt. You have to manage your nerves, you have to

manage your yardage book and your strategy and philosophy. But in the

end, it is about who has the best touch on the greens. And who is the

most in control of their nerve. You can help yourself along by

controlling your breathing, being conscious of your walking pace.

Concentration is a beautiful thing to watch, but it is a learned

behaviour. One of the guys on the top of learned it the best. It is on

the greens that there have been some interesting notes where Justin is

concerned. He has been planning since the start of the year.

He has been working on his grip, he has used the claw grip, which is

where the right-hander sits at an odd angle. Notably done by Chris

DiMarco. He has brought a heavier putter. They plan for coming here in

April, a work on their game to get it just right, and this is the key

to their success. Also the fact that Danny Willett won last year, another

Englishman, in your mind you say, I am better than Danny Willett. But

this is the key. He has a beautiful iron and driving game, he needs to

make some putts. He has won a major Championship, it would not surprise

me if he wins are. If yesterday was a dress rehearsal for the back nine,

what they rehearsal it was. He was 5-under for the last seven holes, if

he does that again, he will be the champion, and it will be interesting

to see if he can win and join this list. Sandy Lyle kick-started a

bread run. Will the floodgates open again, as

they did in the late 80s? On this date, in 1989, Nick Faldo won the

first of his three green jacket. It could be a sign. There are so many

possibilities. Ken has been looking at the leaderboard.

A sunny day on Masters Sunday does not get much better than this. I am

by the pond on the 11th, which guards the left edge of the green.

It is where the big leaderboard is. It is not easy to open up. At the

top of the leaderboard at the moment is Justin Rose and Sergio Garcia,

but who will be there later when they march through? We saw say. A

great view. We needed a cherry picker to get him

back down again! A lovely view. We will discuss Sergio Garcia. Unlike

Justin Rose, he knows exactly what the feeling is like to lead going

into the last day, he did so at the Open Championship in 2007, and he

lost in a play-off to Padraig Harrington. Many of you will

remember. He has had four runners-up spots in Majors, this could finally

be his turn. It was not easy, but I played hard,

I thought as much as I could with what I had. I stayed patient. I

waited for my time to make a couple of good things. I got a great break

on 13. When things are going well,

everything seems to line up easier. There is nothing wrong with that. It

does not mean it will be easy. I have to believe in myself again and

be patient. Do not freak out even if things go wrong. Seve Ballesteros's

50th birthday, how much inspiration are you drawing from him? Hopefully

it'll help me. Help is always wanted and welcome. It will be nice if he

helps from up there. Hopefully we can get it done and celebrate.

It would have been his 60th birthday today, he passed away in 2011. There

is Sergio Garcia, walking onto the practice ground ahead of his

tea-time. Yesterday there was a shot which I described as his Freddie

couples moment. 25 years ago, he left the ball at the 12th, hanging

on the bank, and one hole later, he did the same thing.

It was a beauty. I went to the 13th, the bank on the left, the grass is

long. It looked as if it went into the water. But it smacked on the

bank, which was a huge break. Your momentum would go if it goes in the

water. Then this delightful chip. He made it look so easy. It was hard,

because of the amount of upslope. A key moment. You are good

strategists, great psychologists. I wonder how USS Sergio Garcia's

approach on these key days and key moment. He has got to wanted the

most. He has got to wanted the most, be the most determined. When Charley

Hoffman headed in the water yesterday on 16, he could go either

way. He could lose his confidence or he could be more determined. When

Jack missed it, it made him more determined. Sergio Garcia must be

the most determined. He has the most demons and the biggest cross to

bear. I feel like it is a mental battle for him. For him, it is the

mental side. 2012 he had a bad round. He said, I can't get around

Augusta. He has had a few close finishes. It is going out there and

being in control of his mental game. He looks a lot calmer. He looks to

be within himself. 37 years old, perhaps the maturity is kicking in.

Many would love to see him win. He has already won here at Augusta, in

the year that Jose-Maria Olazabal won the second of his jackets, 1999.

Rossi claimed the silver cup, as the leading amateur. Jose-Maria sent him

a note of inspiration on the eve of this year's masters. Hoping he could

do it. Very nice. There would be no more appropriate winner on what

would have been Seve Ballesteros's 60th birthday than Sergio Garcia. It

was here in 1980 that he had a massive breakthrough for European

golf, becoming the first European to win the green jacket. He did it

again three years ago, -- three years later, but a whole generation

grew up wanting to play like him. To become the first European to win

the Masters for special. Today his son tweeted, he said,

happy birthday, dad, happy 60th birthday. I am sure you go wishing

for Sergio today. It can not be easy, being Sergio and having to

follow in the wake of these wonderful champions. A large weight

to carry around. It is. When Sergio came through in 1999, he nearly won

his second or third major Championship, we thought it would be

inevitable that he would win four or five, says he has had the pressure

all of that time. He has a chance today to put a tick in a box.

Anniversaries aplenty today. It was 20 years ago that Tiger Woods won a

landmark treachery for himself and for golf, running rings, 12 shots,

around everyone else to win here. But 20 years on, in terms of the

American influence, I wonder whether the red shirted influence of Tiger

Woods will transfer into the orange shirted influence of Rickie Fowler.

I cannot go out and make two mini mistakes, I need a solid round of

golf. When it comes to the back nine, there are opportunities, where

if we are behind, there are some great possibilities on 13 and 15.

And some areas where you can make up some ground. It will be fun, but the

biggest thing will be to get out of the great -- out of the gate good.

Will you allow your mind to wander off and think what it might be like

to win this event? I have thought about it before! There is no denying

that. There have already been thought. As a kid you are thinking

about walking up a team with a five shot lead. If anybody tells you they

have a thought about winning the Masters... It will be a special day,

I am looking forward to hanging with family and friends tonight, getting

some rest. It is a tough week, a good walk, a little up and down. I

am looking forward to it. Google Play well tomorrow.

He has gone with the orange pants, not the orange shirt! It would look

good with the green jacket! He has been superb with his touch on the

greens this week, superb putting stats. He has had 79 putts so far,

30 out of 30 from five feet. He is the best putter on the board

now. Charley Hoffman is putting well as well, Sergio might be the worst.

It always comes down to a putt. Unless Sergio can lap the field with

his ball striking, it will be a harder challenge for him. Rickie

Fowler is the best brand builder since Greg Norman off the course. He

has had a top five in all Majors, he does not back off. He's putts go in

with authority and conviction. Bubba Watson has inspired him, he has won

two Greenjackets, and Rickie Fowler wants to follow him. You like his

stroke. You can see a natural feel and flair. Putting is at least 50%

touch and feel. He has a beautiful way of running them into the front

edge, a loose group. If you can hole from that range consistently, you

have got to be in the hunt, and he has put a delightfully. This was 15

yesterday. It just flops in, magnificent. Good putting breeds

confidence. You think Tom if I make an error, you can catch up. His

average, he is picking up three strokes a round on the field. This

is his 29th major start, at his plane partner is Jordan Spieth, the

most ominous presence on that leaderboard. This man is a master 's

machine. You have led going into the final

round in every masters you have played so far, will it be a

different strategy? To win this tournament, you have to play to win.

Other places, you can back off a bit. You can cruise. Here, if you

have a chance to go for it, you have a decent number, you have to pull

off the shot. In 2015, I have that situation on 13, I chose to go for

it, and pulled off the shot and it led to a birdie that kept the lead

strong. Those are the moments that people who win this tournament have

on Sunday. Tomorrow, it is about when those moments present

themselves, being patient, pulling off the shot and recognising that I

would know better than anybody that anything can happen on a Sunday.

Patients is key. There he is, warming up. For the

first time ever he will not be in the final pairing. The last three

years he has been a co-leader at least after 54 holes. An astonishing

record. He has told himself to seize the moment, Arnold Palmer style.

There was a moment yesterday at the 13th.

Astonishingly, he went for it, Arnold Palmer style, Phil Mickelson

style, and he would have a success at the 13th. Incredible to think

about that mindset, to talk yourself into that. It was an interesting

thing. The caddies will play a major part today. Saying the right thing

at the right time, encouraging your mind to have a go for one. They will

have a major influence on the tactics. The leaders have got very

experienced caddies. How much do you sense the bones to right the wrong

from last year? In his mind he has passed that. He has won twice since

then, he has gone past the 12th hole a few times. What a key has the lead

on the 12th today? What will run through his mind? There is a lot to

look forward to, I forgot about him on the board when I said that Rickie

Fowler was the best putter. Everybody on the board is a terrific

ball striker, they all have a great game. This should be one heck of a

shoot out. The fireworks on the second nine, it could be

magnificent. It is the greatest second shot cause, today will be the

greatest second shot day in golf. Another interesting fact, we have

Justin Rose and Sergio Garcia, then the Americans. The crowd noise could

make a difference. If you could get the crowd moving with your group,

like the Ryder Cup. It feels like 100% of the fans will be pulling for

Rickie Fowler, and for Jordan Spieth as well. It is hard to say that, but

the truth be told, they do not favour 1-over the other, but they

favour both of them over the Europeans. This is a good three or

four times we have mentioned the Ryder Cup, it has that feel, these

last two pairings. You might hear some dumb USA, USA chants! I did not

want to say it, because once it sticks in my head, I cannot get it

out. I always remember that 16th come it

is a cauldron of pressure, the noise ricochets around. There is a bit of

movement out on the course. We can show you some of the birdies that

have been achieved. This is Marc Leishman at the 7th. And this is

going to give us an idea. This is what we love about the Sunday at the

Masters. Really starting at about Ram Slam, that's when it's going to

start to open up for the players. The players will have to be really

sensible for the first few holes, not to be too aggressive too early

and shoot themselves out of it. They will have all studied the hole

locations today, they will know where they're going to attack.

Russell Henley, who of course last week won in Houston, to make it to

the Masters. And look at that! That is a very, very rare birdie. Paul,

what do you make of this man Freddie Couples, 57 years young? It's

Freddie Couples, it's really amazing, all the while with a quote

bad back! He has so much shoulder turn still for a guy that age,

strong chest and strong legs, he still bombs it. Well, this is the

leaderboard, Freddie Couples making his move, he's -2, five shots off

the pace. We have seen Jimmy Walker, US PGA champion, -1 for today. And

Jon Rahm, we like the look of Jon Rahm. He's got fantastic presence.

This has been a great learning experience for him. But right on the

front page of that, we've been looking at Charley Hoffman and Ryan

Moore, both of these fellows in the hunt for their first major.

Gentleman, Charley Hoffman, that could double bogey yesterday at the

16th but he showed so much nerve in those first couple of days? There

has been a lot of pressure on him, he's going to be the most determined

guy in the field I think. We'll see what happens. But at this point, it

really boils down to, you have to want to win more than you're afraid

to fail, it comes down to that. His compatriot Ryan Moore, the two of

them are playing together, how much confidence do you think Ryan Moore

has been gaining not just from his season last year but also from his

Ryder Cup experiences? A could Ryder Cup, you're right at the front. Then

you think, I can play golf at the very sharp end. In some ways, the

Ryder Cup is even more pressurised. In other tournaments, you can only

let yourself down. Anyone who does that in your first Ryder Cup, you've

got to say well done. Paul Casey, a man who was in the top four last

year. He was a trying to post a good score. I think these early pins,

although they're tough, they are much easier than they can be. You

can get off to a fast start on that back nine. There's some dangerous

hole locations on the front, that one is not one of them. You've just

got to be smart and patient and wait, take advantage when you can.

To me, it is always about who feels the best at the right moment.

Controlling your heart rate. If you can feel your pulse in your

fingertips, you've probably what a problem! Who is going to win today?

My heart says Sergio, my gut says Justin Rose and Ken? I am a good

buddy with Rose, but also Sergio is a firm favourite of mine. It could

be any of those four, or someone could come from behind, like Fred

Couples. There are two gentlemen waiting on the first tee. Lee

Westwood is due off very, very shortly, in the company of Thomas

Pieters. And we can join Andrew Cotter and Peter Ellis.

PETER ALLISS: Thank you, Hazel. Here he goes, Lee Westwood, in very good

shape, played some beautiful golf over the last three days. Needs

something in the mid-60s, that could well do it. It's hard work from the

very first shot. Sailing away, and... Up the left

side, will it hold the fairway? Just off it, should be OK.

Thomas Pieters come now driving! Thomas Pieters of Belgium. He can

give it a fair old tonk, I can tell you. Recovered very well yesterday,

he looked at one stage as though he was heading for 80 but fought back

brilliantly towards the end of his round. And here he is. Fifth troop

from the end. Oh, I don't know quite what

happened, but he's OK, Andrew? Yes, a 3-wood was the choice for Pieters

there. He's OK, anyway. Jimmy Walker, this is the Sunday pin

position. Just down on the left corner of this green, it is a very

small part of the green. That was for a par four. Now, Mickelson,

eagle three at Looking back at the 5th. This is a

very underrated hole. It looks fairly benign but the greens are

very difficult. The greens are very big here, big, long slopes, not all

that many places on the green where you get a good area of flat putting

surface. Here's Couples... ANDREW COTTER: Not too shabby. The

pin is all the way up at the back today. He's gone for the green

shirt, eternal optimism. Rory at the second. Unlucky, one bounce forward

and that could have gone right down to the hole. Disappointing. Back to

Paul Casey on the first for his birdie. He had a terrible putting

stance the first two rounds. There we are, final group - friends!

Sergio Garcia and his father there. Fowler, warming up. Wonderful

practice facilities here. Your field village, Jack Nicklaus's course,

also has a wonderful practice area. But here I think beats them all.

Butch is close at hand, Fowler's coach. And that is when he will tee

off, UK time. Obviously, otherwise he's out very early! As we go to

Ross Fisher. A twirl of the club from Fisher. Oh, what a shot! He is

+9 so he can afford to go for it. So little between the pin and the front

of the green. I'm not sure many of the leaders will be pulling off

shots like that. Back to the first, Thomas Pieters, second shot. He

won't see much of the green from here.

High hands on the putter, Freddie Couples, always been his way. You

can see a bit of damage around the hole there, that was Russell Henley,

who went straight in. Now, how about this for a putt? This is McIlroy at

the second. Got to aim for the top side of the green. Very difficult to

get the speed right, but that looks pretty good. Oh, that's brilliant.

Brilliant judgment of pace. Westwood on the first.

He, too, with a green shirt. Oh, just hit a little bit of an upslope

there. That's OK. Another look at Russell Henley.

Let's see if we can see the ball actually pitch. Oh, they're not

showing that. This is the next hole. He might do it again...! Willet...?

Off it goes. He couldn't do it twice in a row...? That's pretty good.

He's not quite sure where that's ended up.

Curtis Luck, good round he's putting together today. US amateur champion.

Big, big talent. Spieth on the practice ground. I find him a very

interesting player to watch. In his early early 20s, and he's not an

elegant player. At times he looks a bit clumsy. They talk about his

magical putting, he does two or three things which are not the

accepted rule for people who putt very well. He doesn't look at the

ball, looks at the hole, does certain things his own way. Not very

balanced, but by God, he gets the job done. Fisher, for eagle on the

15th. These players not in contention, but well worth their

while to have a look at the holes to see what will be facing the leaders.

I did not think there was much reached today, but there's a bit of

life in that water. Who yeah, there is a touch of life about. You see

that one, you think it must go right, but no, straight as a die.

Nice birdie. So nearly an eagle three. +8.

Now, Garcia on the range. As ball strikers go, he has always been

right up there with the very, very best. Heading off in that final

group with Justin Rose. Question, just a question, around

his putting. And also, does he have the mentality - which he has

questioned himself in the past? And we shall see today whether he does

have it. He says he's changed as a person. Up ahead, Lee Westwood for a

three... That's a nice start terms for

Westwood. Just a bit short with his second shot, nice long opening putt,

just settles you down. You get the feeling there are just too many

players ahead of Westwood and McIlroy. But one of them could well

challenge, Peter. There we are, the damage done by Henley, painted

again. And this was heavily's second shot, this is how it happened. In it

went for a two! There we are, you see! I don't know whether they're

actually cutting a new hole in close ox, with? Yes, brand new hole. -- in

close proximity. That's interesting, they're cutting a brand-new hole, so

the players still to come are not playing exactly the same course.

Well, that's what it looks like. 18 inches away. These are Masters of

their craft. A little bit of this, a touch of paprika... Little bit of

that. Stick it in for 20 minutes... It's gone, it was never there! Never

happened! In goes the white liner. And you didn't see us, we were never

hear! Players just waiting behind. As we

leave the gardening and take a look at Pieters at the first. He would

have followed the line of Westwood's putt to the hole. It's going left...

Oh, it came back. Two beautiful long putts, two tidy fours.

This is going right at it, is it? No. But this might come down, Peter.

Yes, it's got a bit of movement in it. That's a great result, going

straight back up the hill. Fisher at the 16th, familiar Sunday

pin position. Let's see how Fisher handles it. As we think of the drama

to come here in four or five hours' time. That needs to hop up. That's

pretty good. Earned his place here with his performance at the World

Matchplay a couple of weeks ago. Broomstick Roy, third hole, second

shot. That needs to come back... Hit it a little bit too hard and now,

he's left himself a very difficult third shot. Henley, gets a birdie.

The hole-damager gets back to level par. Charge Swart saw, former

winner, just in an awkward spot here. Careful you don't slip.

Has he got it online? Just caught the sound I think.

Green is certainly the go to colour today. He had that wonderful finish

in 2007, clergy in the last four holes. Of course we sent out Ken

Brown earlier today to have a look at the course. You can get some

adventurous putts here at Augusta National. Some huge breaks, and just

have a look at this one. With a putt like this, you've got to pick the

high point, where you're going to aim it. I'm going to start it just

about there, that's about 12ft left, so let's have a go and see if we can

do it. It's all about reading the greens, the feel, the touch. That's

almost 15ft left. So we'll start it on that line and see if it'll break.

Look at it, it just keeps running round and round. Let's have another

go. This putt could easily get away from you. Look at that, it just

keeps going. It's like it's sliding down a sheet of lino. These greens

are slick! You talk about master potters, Ken Brown would be in my

top ten of all time! This is for another one, and he rattles it in,

well done! Well done indeed! Four over par. Back to Adam Scott.

Beautiful tee-shot. Just needed to come down. Paul Casey, after that

superb second at the second hole. Oh, that just got away. Only a

birdie. I fancied him to get that one.

He'll have a lot of sentimental support, Couples.

Westwood, looking down the hill, right into the heart of the second

green. The flag away on the right corner, behind that bunker. If this

land is in the gap, it can turn right and wonder all the way down to

the hole. That's not hard enough. A whisker short. Interesting, the

breeze has just picked up a little bit. I think that foxed Westwood.

Broomstick Roy, third hole, huge drive, simple little pitch, hit it

too hard, leaving him this treacherous putt. It was a question

of trying to get down in two. Justin Rose, the man in Black today. Played

in the final group in 2015, when Spieth ran away with it. -14, he

finished. He has become a beautiful goal for now. -- beautiful all for.

Northants golf club, I will be there in a few weeks' time. Just watch the

rhythm here. He's a tall fella. Look at that, isn't that lovely? That's

the way you do it. And you compare that with Spieth, who looks jerky

and out-of-control. But my word... Daniel Berger at the 12th chef would

you believe it?! Hallelujah! Come on! Give me some skin! They do talk

funny over here. Playing alongside Hagestad steely amateur champion. He

is having a bit of a tussle with Curtis Luck for leading to. -- for

leading amateur. This looks like McGirt, on the

fourth. 233 yards today. A not unpleasant start for McGirt. 69 in

the first-round, but dropping out of things thereafter. Now, Jordan

Spieth, just having a few little putts. Just a little bit closer than

this, he lines it up and then turns his head to the left and looks at

the hole. He's not doing it at the moment. Cross handed, as you can

see. Three in a row - like shelling peas!

Not too shabby, is it? Only been here three times, this is his fourth

appearance. This is Curtis Luck. +1 for his round today. This, for par.

This might be good enough, but it's going to be close for leading

amateur. That's a bit of a sad finish, but +9

might still be good enough. Asia-Pacific amateur champion as

well - he qualified twice for the Masters.

Hole The mid amateur champion, a few of those do well at the Masters.

That could be very good. It stopped, how can that do that? It has left

him a treacherous left to right. Paul Casey hitting the ball

beautifully so far, and iron off the tee at the 3rd, to leave himself a

full wage in, get some control. A shallow green, where the pain is.

We have seen one or two stick. You normally think it would ramble down.

A good Taioseach for Ryan Moore. The flag is middle right. In a bit of a

hollow, at the bottom of the slope. He has left a long putt across the

green. To say the least. A vision of balance, until he let

the club go. Still balance, mind you. Looks very colourful today,

like an ice cream sundae. He looked a bit autumnal the other days. ,

speakers has done it. Nicely, nicely.

A couple of Fairway woods for Justin Rose. Then he will head across to

the fairly new practice ground. And then pass the clubhouse, over to the

practice putting green, behind the first tee. Teeing off in the final

group. It is hard to believe this facility

is only used for this one week, apart from members, of course. The

club is open for six months of the year. You will not believe the size

of the press room. It looks like a hundred bedroom hotel. There must be

plans to do other things with it. But I know not what.

Ken Brown and Paul Azinger back with us, and raring to go.

Thank you, Peter. Jordan Spieth walks through to hit

the first tee shot. It is to be a much longer walk to get from the

putting green to the first tee. They have moved the first tee back 70

yards in the last ten years or so. A good tee shot from Charley Hoffman.

The gathering valley here. A bit more accessible. A nice start.

Important times. A deep breath there as he plots down into the car.

He misses a lot of those. He has missed a couple on Friday.

He has got an adventure here. My goodness.

Not bad, really. If you let it go to the right, it would have run to the

edge of the bunker. There is a ridge where he is now. If he had missed to

be right, it would have fed down to the collar. He erred on the safe

side. Look at the patrons gathered to watch this showcase.

You cannot see it, but the lip is higher than it looks. You get the

feeling this to ball will pull most of the local crowd around with them.

The patrons, of course. Going with a 3-wood. To take the bunker out of

play. A slight breeze behind the players'

back. So much for taking the bunker out of

play. I do not believe he thought he could reach, but he did.

He is going to make a charge, he cannot afford to miss too many of

these. He started at level par, and he is back there, if he pops that

in. A slightly crock iron off the tee.

He has the flame-throwers on today, the red trousers, and what a putt.

Treacherously fast. A good three feet of break. A fairly short par-4

on the course. A dandy of a start, he moved to a couple under.

All of these guys on one or 2-under feel as though they are in

contention at the moment. In the last 27 Masters, the

champions have always emerged from inside the top five on the

leaderboard going into round four. It means that Adam Scott downwards

will have to defy those statistics. History says it will be behind --

between the top six. Never ruled Jordan Spieth out. Paul Casey on a

roll. Great play from him. And Thomas Pieters. We saw Fred Couples

with that early birdie. That is so good, I cannot tell you.

That is nerveless. Such a difficult speed to be comfortable with. It is

not natural for a ball to roll Buckfast on grass. This grass is so

tight. The leading amateur at the moment, a two shot cushion on the

other player, who has finished his round. Almost. It looks like he is

having a great time and he should be.

The breeze by the green. A little left to right, slightly helping.

There is a tree that hangs over. It will all depend on the light. You

see the grooves in the sand. Sometimes the ball sits heavy in the

sand. You have to make a clean strike. If you miss short, it is a

treacherous up and down. He have to try to cut it in from the

middle of the green. The sand is so white, it is like a mirror

sometimes, it reflects back at you. Some players will put sunglasses on

to play out of these bunkers. Let's see if he can make good contact.

That is what he will face. Into the valley. The hole is in a spot, he

may not have enough of a backstop to roll in the past and bring it back.

We will see what is in store. The way Rickie Fowler is looking, the

flag is under the Masters logo, he was looking to the left, he did not

think he could get it over the lip. We first saw him at the Walker cup

matches in 2007. He looked a scrap of a lad. He was a small fella with

a lot of pop. He has 140 yards here. This is all carried to the hole. The

green should hold nicely. It is only 122 the front. It is wedge all day

long, but he has to go further than the front. It looks like he is

hitting some sort of specialty shot. He will try to cut it. A stronger

club. Over the point of the bunker. Never much discussion about the

bunkers here. But he did not want to play from any of them if you can

help it. You do not see this every day.

Has he pulled it off? It was a spectacular effort. Not bad from

where he was. A little unlucky. If you get tight to the lip, it is

difficult to make progress. He is in a better shot than -- better spot

than Jordan Spieth. This is really fast. I do not think he can land it

on. I was wrong about that. Look at the pace they are walking

at. You have to do everything I'm horrid. -- unhurried. Very conscious

of their walking pace already. A good line. It just drift away. A

lost opportunity. Not a bad spot. Slightly more up the

hill from this angle. It ran out of pace. He misjudged it.

Who can forget Charl Schwartzel's four birdie finish to win here in a

few years back. All great all strikers at the top of

the board. Quality players here. The Queen has risen to the top once

again. I love the announcement. Good luck

to both of you. A 3-wood. The bunker is 278 yards. A

bit down when today. He can probably reach with that club but might not

know it. That is pretty steady. You wait 23

hours, you hit a pearl. Sergio Garcia now driving.

310 yards to carry the bunker. A slightly helping breeze. I am sure

he wants to go slightly left of it, play a cut of the pine trees.

Looks like a sprinter, ready to step off the blocks. He needs a fast but

smooth start. That looks like cracker Jack, a

lovely flight on it. He could not have placed it in a better spot,

that is a gem. That is about as good as you could

hope for. I do not think he intended to use the backstop, and I wondered

if they could get it far enough back and if the backstop was close

enough. It appears to be. That is a pretty good shot. A lovely tight

lie. A good to put the Paul Casey. Par is

a marvellous score. If you wanted to leave yourself a

more nasty, tricky putt from four and a half feet, there is hardly any

more. I think it was a misread, to hit it

that firmly. He still has the good two feet left.

The first green is always the toughest. Once you get past this

hole, the nerves will settle down to everybody. Scary tee shot, scary

green. He did not look at the hole on either of the putts. It started

with the tee shot into the sand. Onto the reachable second now for

these two players. The wafer Justin Rose and Sergio Garcia to play their

second shot into the first. I thought that would run out a bit

more. It is like going down a funfair

slide, it keeps true Klingon. Of the greens fast at Augusta? Is

Norfolk flat? Justin Rose is ready. He may have is

well go right at it. Just a 9-iron or a wedge. No further left than the

pine tree you see. It will feed into the right, he has a backstop behind

the pin. Do not be short. The flag looked like it was slightly

helping early on, but it was straight across for his second shot.

If you had given him a ball... This is the awkwardness of the chip. He

will have to use the slope beyond the flag. You see where Justin

Rose's ball is, how could he have done that? You only have to miss by

a small margin to pay a heavy price. Taking another big deep breath. This

is a really green light flag. An amazing start for Sergio.

Beautiful pressure packed tee shot. A nice wage.

We saw his bump and run run six feet past the hole.

Caught a little off-guard by the pace of his bunker shot. What a

putt. He has got a lot of pedigree. He won the United States amateur. He

has had some injuries. A great Ryder Cup.

Going with a driver at the short par-4 3rd. He has driven it, this

will feed in. Can you believe it? Have you seen one up there before?

Never. I have never seen anybody reach. That is a mile away, 350

yards. That was nothing but centre cut. He

had the big mishap on 16 yesterday, a horrible shot. It does not seem to

have affected his confidence at all. Such a delicate touch required here.

Played it nicely, just like Lee Westwood, it keeps turning. But at

least you are putting back up the hill. Pretty good. Justin Rose has

got a decision to make. It will depend on his line and nerve, how he

feels. Will he bump this past and try to bring it back like Rickie

Fowler? Slightly lower. It just tipped over. On a run of

birdies. He has not got the greatest record here.

He is starting to make the amateur Silver Medal look more and more his.

The hole is in the back right portion of the green. He has got the

firepower to land it in the gap. And let it feed in. It is too far left.

That will be a fast one. It is like a green Axminster carpet,

it is magnificent, the grass. The cup looks to be slipping from

right to left, left to right for him. He is aiming well left. Never

easy to pick the line when you are putting between two mounts.

Beautifully done. First question answered on the exam

paper. Quite a bit downhill. The breeze is

slightly against. It is a long way away, but it is not

that hard a shot. Sergio for birdie. There we go,

Sergio! What a start for Justin and Sergio. Great par Justin Rose and an

even better birdie the Sergio. You can see Sergio moving along at a

nice steady pace. Ryan Moore, second shot at number three, up the hill.

You have to be so precise here, not a lot of room. Anything short will

be 30 yards off the green. Oh, and hit up a break into that bunker. At

it is doable. Birdie chance for Fred Couples from

short range. Moves to -2. Hoffman to the third. Leaning... Lovely.

KEN BROWN: Just a sliver of putting surface on the third, only ten yards

wide. ANDREW COTTER: That bunker on the

right-hand focuses the mind, Ken? Yes, looks like he's setting up to

go over it - it's a big hit to do that. And the flight he gets, if he

gets it right... And that... Ideal. It's 308 to get past that bunker

that you saw. Huge hit from Garcia. If your tee-shot drifts, it goes

left into that dried up stream. Sit down... Just caught it out of

the heel of the club. There is a big, steep lip on that bunker. Now,

Jordan Spieth. Wide stance. He's going to flies this...

One he has done there is to leave himself back up the hill. And

slightly from the left. Interesting way he played it. Yes, it was the

wise option, I think. Rory McIlory to save par on the par three 6th. It

HAD to drop. He can't afford any more dropped shots. And he needs a

good many more birdies. He's got nothing to lose, he doesn't care

whether he's 25th Ray fifth. This will take all of Rickie

Fowler's skill. Must have been trying to land it a little bit

shorter. Martin Kaymer, going for five in a

row. And he has it! He has never finished in the top 30 before at the

Masters. He's a fader, which does not really suit Augusta National,

for the right-hander. You take your relief, and you have

got to drop the ball within one club length. We saw the little bracelet,

the wristband that Jordan Spieth is wearing, that says WWAD, What Would

Arnie Do?. Arnie, like Seve, used to get after

the course, if there was a chance of an attacking shot, he would

generally have a go at it. It's a relatively easy hole if you

just play for a par. But it's relatively tricky if you play for a

birdie. Has he got his eye back in? He has. In 15 rounds here at Augusta

National, his average score is 70. Pretty amazing. Not too bad!

Founder, then, to save his par. -- Fowler.

I don't know how he gets his feet through those little holes in his

trousers! Charley Hoffman, down the slope, left to right.

It's a nasty little pin position, that. Great view of what Garcia has

left. Remember, Louis Oosthuizen, 2012, hit it right in the front

there. And it went all the way round to the pin. That's what I think

Garcia will be hoping to do, feed it round the contours of the green.

But depending on trajectory, if you hit it a little bit higher, you can

do a fraction further right. You can go almost straight at it but you

can't really bounce it up there. On a slight downslope as well, it is

hard to really get it up in the air and get it to stop.

Feet open, he's setting up for something other fade. -- something

of a fade... He WAS going right at it! Well, he did, he wasn't

intending to! Double bogey for Moore. Two shots

gone at the third, like Mickelson an hour or so ago. One of England's's

hopes, Paul Casey, at the 6th, this little table top... Please keep

going... If that had been a yard short, it would have been back to

his feet. Matthew Fitzpatrick second to the second last.

Down it goes. -2 for his round today, started +6. Tied for 30th as

it stands. This, to save his par at the par

three 6th, Casey. Oh, that's so sweet, that is just magnificent.

Good putt holed at the 3rd, and a couple of beauties since then.

HAZEL IRVINE: There's the situation, and Sergio Garcia has started off

beautifully. Justin Rose hanging onto his coat-tails at the moment.

Charley Hoffman has made some ground, this is the man who led by

four after the first round, the largest first-round lead for more

than 60 years, and he's not going away, the man from California. And

another Californian right next to him, Rickie Fowler. Jordan Spieth,

who dropped that shot at the first. Some very big names in there. Great

progress for Fred Couples and Paul Casey. Remember, the top 12 receive

an automatic invitation to come back next year. Martin Kaymer, on that

run of five birdies in a row. The record is seven, and it has been

done twice, Steve Pete in 1999, and, inevitably, Tiger Woods. Thomas

Pieters, in his first Masters, the man who was such a strong presence

for the European Ryder Cup team last year in Hazeltine. He's -1 for the

tournament. And the hopes of these men have all but gone. Brendan

Steele him with a very good round today. So much to come.

ANDREW COTTER: Fitzpatrick on the 17th. He was going along so well

until the 9th in the second round. He's worked hard to keep going since

then. As we go to Rose. KEN BROWN: Certainly a good angle to

get to the flag. That should gather up a bit more... That's an absolute

gemstone! Spieth, looking for... Oh, really?!

That is a huge slice of Fortune. Sergio has got to play to the left

and hope he gets far enough up the back bank that it will come back. I

think it might... It's dot to keep running. A really creative shot.

Now, Westwood from the elevated 16th tee.

Such a difficult pin position. Westwood, with one of the finest

shots of the day so far. It really is a tiny landing area to stay up

the maul if you want to go at the flag, you've got to be just right

for stop anything short comes back to you. That's the shot, folks! A

little bit more margin of error if you hit it to the right of that pin.

Kaymer, on a run of five birdies, this is his third, though, on the

14th. Wants that to come back... Oh, that's cruelty.

Very quick down the slope, this is for THE perfect start...

And look where Jordan Spieth finished. Down, he says. Even with

all that spin, it has left him of one, half fairway, half green, to

come. Rose, for his birdie. Oh, I don't believe it. His was

substantially easier than Sergio's. I wonder what those two misses will

do, will it start to nibble away at their minds? But they're is to in a

good position. Back to Spieth shortly. First, we go ahead to

McIlroy. Very awkward spot number made it look easy. He needs one or

two red figures. So, Spieth, wide stance. He probably meant to carry

it another eight inches. Hoffman, long, long birdie putt.

He's done it very well. KEN BROWN: Adam Scott. At the 5th,

playing it pretty well. But he's left himself another one of those.

Spieth is in a bit of bother here. Well, he's got one of these putts...

Sergio is having a go with the driver.

Just goes to show how far Adam Scott's tee-shot was. Caddie number

89, that was the same number that Danny Willett had last year. So,

Spieth now for his par. Moving already, telling it to slow down as

well. That's not in yet for bogey. Early days, but he's some distance

back at the moment. Justin Rose going with the big stick as well.

Yes, that was a huge drive from Adam Scott, because both these players

can shift it. We know it's quick, it looks quick,

and by golly, it is quick down this slope.

Superb, for Rickie Fowler! -6, one stroke behind Garcia. That's a

confidence booster, those ones down the hill. Right on the front bottom

level here, Schwartzel, up the hill. Two from here would be very pleasant

indeed. It's a big putt, this. If he were to

miss, double bogey, he would be five behind Garcia, four behind his

playing partner. It's not quite a putter length, so, not quite 3ft.

Doesn't look comfortable. It's easy to see it is right-to-left and

slightly uphill, it's just about pace.

What would Arnie do? Well, heed probably do that!

Lee Westwood, lovely tee-shot on the sixth.

We were talking about it earlier, the back nine is where the real

birdie opportunities come. At the moment, the leaders are having a few

struggles on the opening holes. As we move to the 12th, and Phil

Mickelson. The pin in its usual Sunday position, on the right side.

Phil Mickelson getting a rousing reception, as he always does.

Three-time winner. Paul Casey, short of the 7th.

That has got to come down. He's watching it. It's very steep, that

slope. It might even go past the cup. Only at Augusta!

Mickelson, among the also-rans. After the first couple of rounds,

you felt sure that he was going to push on. But he has looked a bit

weary this week. He's going with a five iron. This

has copped to be knotted. It was a massive 5-iron. That was a big ask.

-- got to be nutted. Now, this is as uninviting as it looks. The only

advantage you've got, you're playing slightly up the slope of the green.

Got to land this on a frying pan. Yes, it's an interesting choice to

go with driver. Unless you have the absolute power to get there, you do

leave yourself with an awkward estimates. Spieth going with the

4-iron, that makes a little bit more sense. That's a good tee-shot. Just

stays. It hasn't stopped yet. Now, Sergio. He has played someone the

full little pitches, but this has got to be spot on. And it was nearly

brilliant. When you're pitching up those banks, it's like hitting onto

some polished lino. You get some crystal when you make

an eagle any time during the Masters. If crystal goblets, rather

nice. Fitzpatrick finishes with... Oh! Tiptoed tantalisingly over the

right edge of the cup. Started the day on +6. What a start he had,

birdies on the first three holes. And it was a mixed bag after that.

Went round in 70 in the end. +4 for the man from Sheffield - big talent.

Not much bounce on his sand wedge, the ball just nestling a little bit.

Pretty darn good. Just having to flip it up over that little bank,

it's so tricky. Charley Hoffman, the pin all the way up the back of this

fifth green. He might drop from there. He'll need a free THROW, I

think! That is in Alcatraz! So, Garcia, remains in this slow

motion mode here. Your body and your mind will be telling you to have the

urgency, everything will be hurried. Telling himself to calm things down.

This is across the slope and a little bit down the hill.

Has he...? Oh, you beauty! Right in the centre of the cup. Splendid,

splendid start for Garcia. You just know that his mind is going Myler

minute. He's padding around, but he's boiling inside.

Garcia MIGHT stand on that tea with a three-shot lead. Now, Rose. He's

two behind his playing partner. I think you're right, Andrew, I

think Sergio's mind is just running a mile a minute. But if you look at

the body, it looks calm, he's walking at such a leisurely pace.

PETER ALLISS: Now, Spieth. Long birdie putt. Just a touch more and

it was there. Not the best of starts for the young fella. So much

expectation surrounding this Sunday play, but it hasn't happened yet.

Plenty of time. He thought he had got this.

Adam Scott at the 6th for birdie. A mile a minute been there. Don't

count Adam Scott out just yet. Now, Fowler for his par at the 4th.

He is putted magnificently from this distance so far. Time after time, he

has holed these, mostly it must be said, for par.

A shot dropped on this Super Sunday, Seve 's Sunday. Westwood on seven.

He's got a backstop, with the bunkers. That will come back. There

it goes, does it have the pace to reach? It is on a good line. Oh...

He knows how to play here. McIlroy, for a birdie at the 8th. Well done,

but he's running out of holes. Sergio at the 4th. 233 yards today.

Pretty well the furthest back tee, the back of the back tee. A little

help here, Peter. It is a full 222 to the bunker, 233 to the hole. He

likes the look of it. Safely on. Sergio playing with Justin Rose, the

last pair out. Now to Hoffman, a drop away from the grandstand on the

left, third shot to the fifth. It's a big green, but it's a small

target. The yardage doesn't fit, it can be a tough spot here. He won't

want to take anything off a long iron. It is a 5-iron.

Safely on, but you can see it is getting further and further away

from the hole. Treacherous for about 20 yards, very difficult to get it

stone dead. So easy to drop a shot. Hoffman, par putt on the way. Oh...

It looked good! He thought he had it. A dropped shot here at five,

moving Hoffman back to for Rhondda now. Four shots off of Sergio's

lead. HAZEL IRVINE: You remember the

exploits of Matthew Fitzpatrick here last year in his first professional

start, he was tied for seventh. What a start it was. He will have two

settle for a 4-over total today after a nice round today of 70.

Let's hear his thoughts. Two under today, what was it like

out there? It was better today. Obviously, the flags are pretty

traditional on a Sunday. Everyone knows where they are, I have learned

a lot from last year. So you know where to hit it on the fairways and

on the greens. That experience helps.

This is your third appearance at the Masters, and it is a cliche people

use, learning from every experience, so is there anything in particular

from these four rounds that you will take away with you? The big thing

around here, you have got to chip the ball incredibly well, it is

really important that you have fresh groups before you play here, because

once the greens dry out, it becomes really tough. I think it is really

important to get your pitching numbers really good, and you're

chipping in general. A word on what might happen at the

top of the leaderboard later today, any idea of how low the guys at the

top could go? Definitely low. The pins out there are there to go out.

There are some nice ones to make birdies, don't get me wrong, there

are tricky once, but if you play smart to them, you take par and push

on from there. Thanks for coming in. Well done

today. Thank you. COMMENTATOR: Martin Kaymer at the

15th, straight up the hill, a great run by and he has done it again. He

has been a birdie machine for the last hour, our and a half. But he

started too far back. Eagle putt on the way for Phil

Mickelson on 13. Not going to happen this year for

Phil. He has three jackets in his locker at the moment. Out in 38, he

dropped a shot, one birdie on the way home "Not my day..."

I tell you what, if Justin Rose gets down in two from here, a chance at

the 2nd missed from less than a yard. A monster putt, speed is

important. So important. We talk about Seve 's birthday, it

is my daughter and her son's birthday, too. I wonder if they will

stay up and listen to grampa. Not too hard to four putt from this

range if you just get it a bit wrong, get a bit too excited.

Turning a bit early. Not high enough, not quite hard enough. 7-8

feet away. 5th hole, Rickie Fowler, second

shot. Big difference. The first cut on the shorter grass. He's let go of

it. Write down there where Charley

Hoffman was, he hit his free drop and had at ethical little pitch back

up that hill. A pretty high slope, a good five feet above him. Spieth

now. Plenty of room past the flag here at

seven. That will follow in. Oh... Settle. APPLAUSE

Sergio, keep it up, left. A bit high, a bit hard. Tailed away and

coming down. That's nicely done. You don't really hold many putts at that

length on these greens at Augusta. On the sick, all the way on the far

right side, 187 yards. No room for error here. It has to be perfect.

Will it stay? Yes, and that's a terrific shot!

Charley's not done yet. You never know. Now, this is, you feel this

has to go in for Justin. You can't miss these. That's a bit of a daft

thing to say, really, because you never know what will happen, someone

could do what ever, whatever. But you really don't want to be dropping

shots are necessary, a bit of a white tee shot here at a fourth,

which is a difficult par-3. A great sigh of relief as that goes

in. A good putt, well struck. Four pars for Rose.

Paul Casey, third shot at the 8th. Right on the front of the green. It

might come back. I'm not sure if he planned that. He'll take it.

APPLAUSE You have got to control the

controllable is at Augusta National, the bounce of the ball is not always

something you can control. Back to McIlroy at nine. Hole sitting on

that middle tier. That will be a tough putt. He will probably have to

played at eight feet out on the left. Now, Casey after that, well, a

good result on that chip, which was wide and came off the slope. Going

along nicely, 3-under. You never know.

Justin Rose will be the third engagement to win the Masters, we

know the other two. Sergio would be the third Spaniard, we certainly

remember Seve Ballesteros and Jose-Maria. Jordan Spieth would be

the youngest to win two Masters. Rickie Fowler in search of his first

major. If my We don't often get to see this hole

from behind off the tee. That is Sergio's tee shot going with a

3-wood. He has got to avoid the big bunkers on the left. A very

difficult second shot to an unforgiving green. Rickie now trying

to pick it back up the slope from where Charley Hoffman was a minute

ago. Can he do it better than Charley? It looks like he has. He

has. Great touch. That's about all he could hope for from down there.

Justin Rose, tee shot at the 5th. Swinging dogleg from right-to-left.

Very underestimated hole. Casey now. Tapping this in for his

birdie at the 8th. In she goes. One, two, three birdies and 3-under par.

Spieth up the hill on five. This would be a great birdie. Look at it

though. Settle. Those will give you grey hairs at an early age,

especially round here. Now, Charley Hoffman, the forgotten man. Nobody

has mentioned him on their local TV this morning. They thought he

wouldn't figure. So far, nothing happening for Charley. But he is not

1 million miles behind. Oh, Adam Scott, he has hit some

great putts in the last couple of days that haven't gone in. He has

holed plenty. He has hit some beautiful putts just like that.

Might have the power to hit this next par 50. Fowler for par at the

5th. No, stayed left. Shot dropped. Two

bogeys in a row for Rickie. Now then, here's our amateur.

Stewart Hagestad is doing very well, this to finish at 5-over.

Come on, come on, com on... They don't get much closer than that. A

good four days for the amateur. Steady stuff, a couple of 73s, two

74s. And he wins the amateur prize, which is always something nice to

have on your mantelpiece. "I Was the leading amateur at the Masters".

Spieth to clean this up for par at five.

Let's see if he looks at the hole. He is looking at the hole. And it

just comes around and goes in. Now, Fowler. You all see how

carefully, they take a lot of time on these 20 inches. So easy to miss

and slip them by. Two bogeys, one birdie, 4-under. Work to do.

Rory McIlroy at nine, look how much break he's playing here. This is

really, really fast. It will swing almost a 90 degrees angle to his

right. Not quite 90 degrees, but always on the fence on a putts like

that here, four feet past the hole, it can race 40 yards past the green.

He will have two works in real magic on this second nine, Rory will, post

a score. He needs to get back in 30, doesn't he. It has been done before

a number of times. Bobby Jones, what would he think of speeds of the

greens now? I think he'd have something to say. Not all that sure

he would be in favour of them being quite so fast and quite so slow.

Quite a hard speed to get comfortable on and get used to.

Perfect tee shot here at the 5th for Sergio, laying up with 3-wood off

the tee. Two shots ahead at the moment.

You don't want to miss right here or less, it is one of those ones where

you have to go right at it. You have got to fly the right distance.

Go! Go! Go! Is it over the ledge? No, it's going

to go away, and it's going to roll back 35-40 feet from there. Maybe

not. It is going sideways. It could stick. That is a great break, Peter.

Another foot and it is down to the front of the green. He will be happy

when he sees where that ended up. Justin Rose. Two behind Sergio. 185

to go. It doesn't look that far, does it, it looks a little bit

further from here Mac. UCB humps and bonds at the front of

the green. This is a dangerous hole, it is one where you tell yourself

that there is no rule where you have two BP in high. Just get over the

ridge that Sergio ran along. He needs a good shot here.

A seven? A six? 185. He has 7-iron, but the number he wants is 170 to

carry that full is front that Sergio ran along. Just carry that. If used

if it, that's a bonus. You just want to get out of here with a good,

solid par. A good rhythm. A good-looking swing. Has he got the

result it deserved? He hasn't. Bit short. He will go back, then. A

devilishly difficult putt from there.

Nope. There are all finding it difficult, they're all making

mistakes, striking the ball well, Mr had in the distance, taking the

wrong club. It is making it very, very difficult. -- misjudging the

distance. Hoffman from a long way back. He wants to take the fund

bunkers out of play here. -- the front bunkers.

That will stick up the top. That leaves him an awkward one from

there. Oh, Charley, it's not, my darling. Westwood for par at the

8th. Where have you been, Westy? You don't want 15 or 16 for it putts.

All is forgiven. Saved the day. Oh, yes. He's still in the fight,

you know, the old fella. A big 7-iron for Rickie Fowler here

at six. We just saw his playing partner come up short and roll all

the way back off the green. If he hits this short, he is begging for

it to go, and that has no chance. Another misjudgement. Whatever you

want to call it, but they are 25 yards short of the flag. I know it

is difficult, but we keep hearing how special they are these days. All

the distances, yardages, everything you can think of. Here's Casey, can

he do it at the 9th? Second shot, beautiful drive. Nipped it up,

hardly touched the grass, skimmed it. It should bite, it does. And

sits down. That could have spun back off the green and didn't. Chance for

a three. You have got to believe Thomas

Pieters is going to get in contention here at Augusta National.

Some great experiences. He was under the pressure right out of the gate

this week. Terrific golf in windy conditions, a couple of miscues,

couple of double bogeys on day one. All the leaders have tricky putts.

Ken knows a thing or two about tricky putts.

Here he is. Let's look at this putt. Up the slope, pop one up the hill.

If you don't quite hit it firm enough, you think, that's not too

bad. In, or watch. Slight misjudgement, and you think, someone

is taking the Mickey here. My boomerang won't come back... They

are so tricky, these greens. And they can make you look a right fool.

They certainly can. Justin Rose will be delighted to get down in two from

here. We have seen longer ones holed.

A bit pacey. Oh, my good God. That is what good, old Henry Cooper used

to say. He's knocked it off the green. Perfect position here: Ryan

Moore. A couple of stumbles in the last few holes. Six shots off the

pace. The ball will follow here. No need to funnel when you land it

there. Easy birdie Ryan Moore. Back to Sergio at five, up the hill. He's

just watched Justin Rose's Paul Bracewell I. I wouldn't be surprised

if this comes up 3-4 foot short. -- watched Justin Rose's ball race by.

It is faster than you think. A good teacher from Justin Rose. What a

good effort from Sergio. Perfect. Two really good long putts in a row.

Sergio's touch on the greens will maybe be the difference maker today

for him. Every hole that ticks by, Sergio's just going along nicely.

He's had those two birdies. Justin Rose misses a little putt. He's

struggling here. Spieth, second shot at six. A skid, but that's got away

from him. Spieth's struggling. He'll have to make that to remain

3-under par, five back. Charley Hoffman now. Look at this. Putting

along the edge of the green. No, no, no, no... So stupid. Ken said

moments ago and you can have shot around the greens that make you look

silly. Well, that's the sort of thing he meant. This would be a

magnificent par save from Justin Rose. He's holed some beautiful

putts already today. A fantastic putt at one for par.

Not this one. All really set up by the miscued second shot, the mist

club with the 7-iron, or slightly mis-hit it, but that was a tough

2-putt for Justin. Rickie Fowler from the front of the sixth. Spieth

has almost gone to the back of the green. Still leaving an awkward one.

Rose finishing off. In she goes a shot dropped.

He meant business on that. No doubt. What a beautiful outward half, very

clean. Four birdies, no bogeys. Paul Casey now just four back, a position

to post. A look at Jordan Spieth for his par

on the sixth. Not even close. Surprised by Spieth

so far. Adam Scott at eight. Lots of choices here, takes the high route.

Not great. But a birdie chance, nonetheless. Adam Scott sitting

nicely at 3-under par. He would be entirely unhappy beating Paul Casey

at the moment. Fowler rolls it in. He's hanging on at the moment. A

couple of shots gone in the last three holes, though. Well,

inexcusable for Charley Hoffman not to get his ball to that position in

three. That's going to be a double bogey. Really, it may just end

Charley's chances now as he drops back to 2-under par, six shots off

the pace. Still a long way to go, but the American challenge has not

started well on this final day. Spieth to drop just one.

Spieth back to two, alongside Hoffman.

Not even close. He has hit some great putts that have not gone in

and the occasional poor one. You get the feeling Phil Mickelson

came out with both barrels blazing, got aggressive on the first nine and

made some bogeys. The first six holes here pretty punishing today.

What a shot. That might be a sign of what is to come, certainly possible

here at 15. See how the leaders handle that in

an hour. Westwood's second, up to the ninth. 139 and the pin today, it

is front right. What a shot from Westwood. Above the hole but if he

rolls that in he will get to 2-under. There is no hiding at

Augusta National. Sergio knows he is three shots here. Massive scoreboard

is all over the golf course. A really difficult shot to get

close. Some access of all -- accessible hole locations. Will it

stay? You can watch with us or with the featured groups on the red

button. You can watch the 15th, 16th, you can watch Amen Corner. A

lot of ways to watch the final round.

I remember when he won in 2004, Paul Casey on his debut tied six and

waited for Phil Mickelson to congratulate Tim. Rose on the sixth.

Can he find a corner? He certainly can. What a shot from Justin Rose.

He has been a bit loose, a bit wayward so far.

Rickie, 3-wood. The tightest hole on the course. Almost impossible to get

it on the green from there. Down into the shadows. Stops behind

JP. Three bogeys already today on his

card, Jordan Spieth. Must be a strange feeling. Every hole has a

bit of movement. This is the only dead straight one.

He gets that away well as we go to Schwartzel.

This is from the side of the hill. A long way back, as well.

That is pretty well done. Vacated the green for the group behind him.

He can certainly post a target. Well, are there enough holes? They

still have a chance. Come up a bit further. That will be

good, but a little bit shy. I say good, it is better than that.

Some of the notable names a bit further down the leaderboard. We

have seen McIlroy. Matsuyama. Jason Day.

We can look at the tee shot on the 11th.

Pretty straight. Just blasted. Carries the 300 yard mark no

problem, down towards the 350 mark. Rickie Fowler, virtually in jail.

Looking as if to hoist it over the pine trees. He certainly got it up

sharply. Oh, that was a wonderful shot from Rickie Fowler and it will

come back. It really is a miracle to get a shot from over there to go

through the gap and over. It is just fabulous. Look how far back he was

compared to where Jordan Spieth drove it. Now, Sergio. This will

require great touch. He has hit two terrific long putts in a row and

that is pretty good. Good leave, straight up the hill. Spieth, dead

centre. Ideally go beyond the flag and comeback. Or, do that. Jordan

clearly not feeling it today. That is a mis-hit. I don't believe he

makes bad decisions, but we do not always hit the sweet spot. You've

got to believe that was a little thin. Jordan now in big trouble. We

saw the schools, the final pairings. Rose to get one back. He creeps

closer to Sergio Garcia. Garcia with a four foot to come.

For yet another birdie. That is a terrific par at the 10th, a scary

hole, the tenth. You think with his distance and the

par-5s, as well... Well, most of the players have the distance, that he

will be going in with shortish irons. Garcia, not quite into Match

Play situation yet, but this final pairing could get very interesting.

I think Justin Rose is just the guys Sergio does not want to have to to

stare down. If this were Match Play, you know Sergio Woodberry this putt.

-- he would That is pretty impressive. Garcia

trying to follow these greats of the game. Seve, the first European to

win it in 1980. McIlroy to the heart of the 11th

green. Quick screens and quick fairways, as Ken Browne has been

discovering. A quirk at Augusta is how they cut

the fairway. They cut back to the tee because it makes the course play

longer. The grasses combed. This way it looks a little dark and this way

with a bit of luck it looks shiny. It makes the course play longer, the

ball does not run out so much. I have invented this to measure the

speed of the fairways. First of all you have to find a flattish bit of

fairway, which is not easy here. I will roll a couple of balls to make

sure it is in consistent position. It is going down, so it should be

quicker this way. I will mark where we started this from. That is going

down the shiny cut. Let's try this way. Consistently start the ball is

at the top. See what I mean? That way, the fairways are not as quick.

It is a sneaky thing they do. Very few players drive over 300 yards

average for the week because of the way they cut the fairways. A little

bit of masters magic. I remember when they changed the cut of the

fairways. What a shot. What a shot. Justin Rose off the back of that

birdie. Par on this every day so far. Beauty, they say, and he

agrees. It is not Match Play yet but I feel the advantage for Justin Rose

to tee off first now and continue to apply pressure on Sergio. Jordan

Spieth, an unforced error at seven. No excuse to come up short with the

backstop behind the flag. Struggling for par again. Definitely a birdie

hole from where he drove it. He will be kicking himself. That was a few

moments ago and this from Rickie Fowler. He just has too sent it out

and hope he finds the breaking point. He came up a little bit shy.

I'm not shy. -- a lot shy. Shaping up into a

two-man battle now, not to minimise the guys back, you know if you draw

it back, and missed the fairway wide, you are likely not going to

get it on the green. It is not coming back. He needs a break and he

does not get one. It goes the opposite direction. He will struggle

for par at seven. Just little momentum shifts in this

final round. Slipping for the moment away from Sergio Garcia. Garcia

closing in on Monte and Westwood, most major starts without a win. --

Monty. Spieth now, to save par. He has it. He stays to -- two under.

Six behind Garcia, but so much can happen.

Rickie, this is just... He is the one guy who hits those putts with

such an aggressive attitude. Not that he is hitting too hard, but the

confidence with which he strikes the putt is something to behold. He is

leading the American challenge. Martin Kaymer to finish.

That is a shame. He has never, until this year, fared well at the

Masters. But a decent final round will give him his first top 20,

probably top 15. Look at the run that ended on the 14th.

See if Schwartzel campaign it off at nine. -- can pay.

McIlroy, a long birdie attempt on the 11th.

HAZEL IRVINE: Fascinating, isn't it, this last night of the Masters?

Rose, with a birdie on the sixth, putting the squeeze on Garcia. Paul

Casey has leapt up the leaderboard into a tie for third with Rickie

Fowler. The vaunted all-American pairing of Fowler and Spieth has

made a stuttering start with Jordan Spieth dropping out of the picture

here. Meanwhile, Adam Scott, steady, level. Charl Schwartzel also on the

boot. Russell Henley on the move, the man who won in Houston last week

to guarantee himself a spot in the fields.

Lee Westwood, 1-under for his round, but he made five birdies on the

bounce on day one. Anything can still happen.

A nice bounce back for Hoffman at eight. Tough front nine today. A lot

of players are struggling. Nobody really putting the pressure on

Garcia. Fowler strikes one on the eighth. I think he was anxious.

Getting close to the bunkers, but that is a big hit. That is enormous.

Sergio jailed here at seven. You have to decide if the front bunker

is the place to be. Maybe the right is better than the front. The same

shot yesterday and he came up short of the bunkers, hoping for an

upslope, in a similar position. Hoping to get it chasing up to the

bunkers. Sergio is a great bunker player.

Needs to get the ball that least passed the Shadow in the distance.

That was good contact. Yes. I think he has done that on purpose. That is

the right decision. Those bunkers are difficult. He is a fabulous sand

player. Westwood to save his par on the

tenth. Back to even par today. Lee Westwood

misses left and right. Justin Rose could not have put it in a better

spot. Just hoist it up, at least passed the hole.

That is just what you want to do. This has a really good chance.

Steady now. OK. The pressure continues to build on Garcia, coming

from his player partner. Casey, standing in the pine needles. Over

the water. You cannot turn it around too much from right to left because

it will take the contours and head to the water, but that is a very

good shot from Paul Casey. That is not too bad. Heading towards the

water, which will test your nerve, but that could have been worse. He

had a narrow channel. Something special must happen here.

That is pretty clever. McIlroy, 155 yards to this famous

pin position. An easy nine for McIlroy.

A bit of an upslope. Options. He does have options. You can try to

fit it between the hole and the flag all run it up to the back of the

greens. Experience pays dividends here. Going long right, it looks

like. Not too far because it could come back well past the hole. That's

about right. Gather speed now, go on. Not there. No. Oh, that is a

devilishly fast putt. Wanted it to go further up the slope to gather

momentum back down. Garcia yesterday. This was a par on

the ninth. He had a few putting problems. A good one on six today,

which should give him confidence. This is more difficult. He cannot

hit it hard. It goes down with such little pace, it wanders around.

Charley Hoffman, Wayne left on nine. -- way left. Managed to miss the

tree. Oh, my goodness, right on nine. That will run back.

Garcia studying this putt. Six feet. Two shots clear. Rose two clear of

Fowler. The final group just separating themselves a little bit.

Rose in so close. McIlroy needs to find a couple of birdies on the back

nine, and then a couple more, and a couple more after that.

You know it is not going to be for McIlroy.

Charley Hoffman's playing partner Ryan Moore. Some great shots into

the ninth green already today. That will go all the way off the green,

I'm afraid. Garcia, just a light touch and he

has it. So Garcia, a clenched of the fist, catches the right edge. Keeps

a bogey off the card and keeps himself two clear. Rose with the

short birdie putt to come. He was trying to avoid the two shot swing.

That putt was huge. He was at the mercy of all the footprints. Look at

it, just wiggling around. My goodness. Huge that went in.

Justin Rose breathing down Sergio's neck and the chance to get within

one. He has played this hole perfectly.

Has it. Rose closing in again on his playing partner. To within one.

Europeans first and second and three clear of the rest, now. They are

friends, they are, today, though, fierce rivals. It is becoming like

the Ryder Cup, like Match Play. You see how determined Sergio is. The

walks between tees and greens. Excruciating. Casey has to play this

just right. You know they aren't going to be out

here for and a half hours or so, but a minute and a half of emotion.

These guys have been talking to each other? Are they in a world of their

own? They are such good friends, it is hard to know but I personally

would not be talking much. Casey for par.

Such a good position going into the back nine, but the shot goes on the

11th. Back to 3-under. That is pure magic by Rickie Fowler.

You can't teach that. You learn that one on your own.

Side-by-side, but... Going through their own things, their own emotions

in their head. Both can beach here if they hit good tee shots. Anything

in the sand will eliminate your chances of getting there in two.

We will go to Adam Scott, trying to save par on the tenth. Not a

convincing putt. He will slip back to two.

Three par-5s left and the tee shots are critical. There is pine straw

over there. That is OK. He will be able to reach but I doubt he will

get on the green from there. Spieth, who is fast running out of

contention, but can he find birdie here? Again, that was not close on

the eighth. There was a loud roar from

somewhere. Oh, absolutely bombed it. Look at it

run away. Sort of uphill for the second half of that drive. He will

have no trouble in getting home in two from there. Peter Alliss is

back. Exciting stuff, even though it is untidy at times. Nine holes

coming up and it all starts on the tenth tee on Sunday afternoon, they

said. What about this one,? These little

hollows were cut out by Jack Nicholas, who had a hand in

designing this part of the golf course. Jon Rahm, it just to give

you an idea of how slick it is, it will accelerate as it comes off the

bottom of the slope. Has he? Oh, my goodness! Give him another 50 balls

and he wouldn't do that! One minute, players are in the heights of gloom,

the next minute, total ecstasy. That's like having Christmas on

fourth July. You don't expect, you hope to get down in two, please

don't take four, and it goes in. Going through 84 different emotions,

there. Look at him. Oh! 22-year-old young Spaniard. We go to the ninth,

Charley Hoffman. He will be delighted to have made a

par. Casey at the 12th. Looks like a

9-iron. He does strike the ball beautifully when he is in full flow.

Good one. Dropped a shot at the last hole, but a couple of par fives

coming up. Setting up for a little drawer shot down the ninth, Rickie.

A lot of hang time, and also gives the ball a run out a little bit.

Landing on the little plateau, not scooping down as far as it often

does, but OK. McGirt playing with Rahm. This was

his fourth shot. That is not far away.

What did I tell you?! They're making a mockery of the game, deciding not

to putt at the 13th, and why not?! HAZEL IRVINE: Martin Kaymer gloves

the Masters today after a round of 68, and he is heading for his best

finish ever here, never cracking the top 30, currently in a tie the 16.

Look at his run from nine to 13. That is how you face down Amen

Corner, let's here from him. The tenth appearance at Augusta, and

the first time you have broken 70, any particular reason why you have

got the hang of it now? The second round, I played really, really well.

And today was one of those things, the front nine didn't go my way. I

needed to stay patient. Some shots were a tiny bit of, and it was

difficult to make up and downs on the back nine. It went my way and,

all of a sudden, you collect birdies. The back nine is the golf

course where you can get it and score.

Give us an idea of what you think might happen with the guys at the

top of the leaderboard on the back nine today, and how aggressive they

can be. The pins are very approachable. They are in decent

positions. The only tough one is 14. Even their Mac, you can use the back

stock, everything funnels down. You can shoot 4-under or 5-under par, it

is just a matter of how brave you are mentally. If you are leading, or

if you are a few shots behind in a major Championship, it's always the

nerves that play a big role. If you want to win it, you have to be brave

enough to go for it. A European winner, perhaps? We hope

so, yes. Thank you for your time.

COMMENTATOR: Two time major winner, Martin Kaymer. This could finish

close. You are unsupported. Banks left and right. A little unlucky,

but not a bad leave. Wanted to chase, really. He took anion.

Landing soft. Chipping up the slope of the green,

it is an inviting little chip. Casey has hardly missed a shot, holing

some delicious putts on the front nine. Element you saw what happened

with Kaymer, he had 4-5 birdies in a row, a round of 68. This is a fairly

straight putt. So much depends on the speed of the putt. Casey's going

to pop this in, and with a birdie at the next, he could frighten them a

bit. Never running at it, always a little

tentative, but that's a three. He's got to squeeze an eagle from

somewhere. Fowler, you can see what faces Rickie Fowler, pinned on the

front, a 3-step green. Come up short and the ball comes back to you.

Oh... The margins are small, but that was

6-7 yards shorter than it ought to have been. Big Augusta wind. The

Augusta wind, oh! No one said it would be easy.

I'm waiting for it to Hubble and bubble and start really boiling like

a golfing cauldron. Do you think it is going to happen? I hope so.

Perfect angle to get to the flag today for Ryan Moore, 162 yards

left. You have got to feed it in from the

right. Justin Rose, a little pitch up at

the 8th. The flag is ten paces on and five

from the right. Not an awful lot of room. Just float it up. A hard

bounce and no check. Funny bounce there. A little high

point there. You have two flip it up and get it to stop quickly. Howells

Rickie going to play this? Let it chase up the little slope, you must

not leave it short again. Just far enough. Just like Charley Hoffman. A

straight putt for his par. Westwood at the 11th. This for a three.

Looking good. Oh... So near, so near. This is

interesting. I thought he would chip this. A 3-wood runner, aiming down

the right. Maybe didn't have a very good lie.

Sometimes it can settle down, otherwise he would definitely have

chipped it. By his standards, that was very clumsy, very heavy-handed.

Can't afford mistakes. But a good putt. Look at Spieth, I think he hit

it with the shadow of the putter. It is getting closer, getting closer,

getting closer... Would you believe it? Great putt there. Great judgment

down the hill. Remember, Tiger opened up here, 40.

So much can happen. Schwartzel, second to the 11th. If

his tee shot was down there, it was a massive tee shot. A good angle,

this, if you drive down the left side, because you hit across the

water, parallel with it. Fowler up and in. A battling four at the 9th,

out in 36. Now, Justin Rose after that heavy

sanded pitch up. This four. Yes. Now, have at Westy, Sergio. Birdies

at six, seven and eight four Rose. Only just made it. It looked like it

would tail off to the right and just fell in. As long as it reaches the

bottom. That was a very, very good four. Sergio putting along a similar

line. He had a sneak preview. A little more across the slope than

down it. The left edge with a bit of authority, or just outside the left

edge if you are going to go for the tickler.

We will have two weight until the end of the row to see what he played

the 3-wood shot from there. What the gallery, tiptoeing, in she

goes. Is that the shot that wins the day, Ken? We will have to wait a

couple of hours to see. Rose and Garcia now three ahead of the pack.

Rory McIlroy pitches it onto the plateau, his third at the 13th.

Beautifully judged. He must be disappointed, Peter. Yeah, another

year has gone by and he's not done it. Casey drives, could go straight

on into the woods. He's turned the corner, with a nice bounce. Just off

the fairway. Tricky one. Westwood, 12th tee.

That could be awkward. He might just get away with it.

Casey, big tee-shot, coming out of the light cut of rough, they call it

here the second cut of rough. You have got to favour the left of

the pin. Well done, Paul. For where the flag was yesterday, it

wouldn't take much more, no. Rose at the 9th, drifting off to the

right a bit. OK. Popular putters at the moment, the

spider putter. Into the cup. He has birdied the last few holes.

He's picked his tee up pretty quick, like most of his tee shots, Peter.

Yeah, good drive, straight down the hill.

Perfect angle to get at this tenth pin. Charley, oh...

A couple of feet ago, you might have thought that would catch the left

edge. To over for his round, minus two. Six behind. Mickelson. APPLAUSE

Winding up with a 72, steady but nothing sensational.

You can see how far left he is aiming, just over a yard left. Is it

enough? I'm sure it is. This to go to 3-under. And he does.

Having a very good masters. He can certainly do it on the par

fives relatively easily. They do offer chances. Rickie Fowler on the

tenth tee. Every draw shot, he has gone with a 3-wood. Little easier to

shake the ball from right to left with a 3-wood. And that is perfect.

-- shape the ball from right to left.
