    Scheffler -4, Hatton -3 (13)

    Up ahead, a sombre Scottie Scheffler considers a missed birdie putt on the 13th green.

    He's one over for his day and showing few signs of eating into Rory McIlroy's lead.

  2. Penalty for Min Woo Leepublished at 22:15 British Summer Time 12 April

    Lee +4 (77)

    The Australian had a poor finish to his round with three dropped shots in his final five holes and then this...

    A statement from Augusta National:

    On hole number 13 Min Woo Lee asked for assistance after his ball moved on the fairway. It was determined his actions near the ball did cause it to move and one penalty stroke was added to his score under Rule 9.4b.

  3. McIlroy and Conners make parpublished at 22:14 British Summer Time 12 April

    Mcilroy -9, Conners -8 (12)

    Nicely judged Rory McIlroy as he cosies his ball down to within two feet.

    Take the three and get out of there.

    Corey Conners has played it well out of the sand but still faces 10 feet for par. Cracking putt - he stays one back.

    Rose -7, DeChambeau -8 (10)

    It's a wonderful view from up on the 11th fairway looking down Amen Corner - what's not a wonderful view though is the huge tree blocking Justin Rose's view of the green.

    So he takes on the ultimate shot of nerves by aiming out at the water and cutting it back in, which hs executes brilliantly - too well in fact as it keeps cutting and drops off the green!

    Bryson DeChambeau somehow manages to get some spin on the ball from 184 yards out to leave a long birdie putt - impressive length again though.

  5. Postpublished at 22:10 British Summer Time 12 April

    McIlroy -9, Conners -8 (11)

    Always an excited murmuring when someone tees off at the 12th.

    Corey Conners goes first and dumps his effort in the greenside bunker.

    Over to Rory McIlroy and his ball catches the wind. That'll take out any water danger and land just off the back of the green.

    That'll just need a little tickle to trundle down to the pin.

  6. Pars at 12published at 22:08 British Summer Time 12 April

    McCarty -5 Lowry -6 (12)

    Shane Lowry gets a nice read off Matt McCarty (who gets another par) but he doesn't use the lesson he learned as he misses on the same side as the left-hander.

  8. Postpublished at 22:07 British Summer Time 12 April

    Rose -7, DeChambeau -8 (10)

    Justin Rose doesn't convert again, that putter just isn't firing like it had been the last two days, so it's just a par on 10 for him.

    Bryson DeChambeau almost holes his chip shot and he showcases his short game once again and he'll take that par and run from where he left himself.

    The secret to living your best life (so far) on your Masters debut?

    Wearing a big smile and keeping good posture, according to Nicolas Echavarria.

    The 30-year-old Colombian started the week by winning the Par Three precursor and is now into the top 10 of the main event after finishing his third round.

    "Inside there's a lot of nerves, especially in the first tee. Then you let the round flow," said Echavarria, who has shot rounds of 73, 70, 69.

    "That was key today. I hit some quality shots starting the day, and I took advantage of good breaks."

  10. Postpublished at 22:05 British Summer Time 12 April

    McIlroy -9, Conners -8 (11)

    Nine feet for par.

    That's more like it from Rory McIlroy and the crowd around the 11th green sound as relieved as no doubt he feels.

    Useful settler before the tee shot at 12.

  11. Postpublished at 22:03 British Summer Time 12 April

    McIlroy -9, Conners -8 (10)

    I called Rory's club selection wrong - will have to hang up my caddie boots.

    He's chipped that onto the 11th green but it's come up a tad short.

    It'll be another of those par putts.

  12. Postpublished at 22:01 British Summer Time 12 April

    McIlroy -9, Conners -8 (10)

    The second shot from Rory McIlroy goes into the teeth of the wind down the 11th hole.

    It holds it up and prevents his ball making too many inroads to the green.

    He'll have a birdie putt but from some distance away. Careful touch required.

  13. Another near misspublished at 22:00 British Summer Time 12 April

    McCarty -5 Lowry -6 (11)

    Shane Lowry is left frustrated again on 11 as he just misses with a birdie try from 15 feet - it's all a bit nearly there from Shane so far, he's hitting it nicely but the putts aren't dropping.

    Can anyone guess what Matt McCarty scored on this hole?

  14. Bogeys for Scheffler and Hattonpublished at 21:59 British Summer Time 12 April

    We've really not seen much from Tyrrell Hatton today and now we get a glimpse of him on the 12th green making a bogey.

    He's dropped to three under par and has not had his best stuff today.

    Playing partner Scottie Scheffler joins him on bogey street after that awry tee shot.

  15. Postpublished at 21:57 British Summer Time 12 April

    Rose -7, DeChambeau -8 (9)

    Bryson DeChambeau is short of the green on 10 and faces a tricky up and down, but Justin Rose is showing signs of life as he hits a lovely approach to leave a makeable birdie try.

  16. Postpublished at 21:56 British Summer Time 12 April

    McIlroy -9, Conners -8 (10)

    There are few places you'd less like to be if you've lost your mojo.

    Rory McIlroy is entering Amen Corner with two bogeys and a par from his past three holes - and watching the field come clawing back.

    That tee shot will do nicely though. Blasted down the 11th and with a nice angle to the pin.

  17. Postpublished at 21:53 British Summer Time 12 April

    Scheffler -5, Hatton -4 (11)

    He's pretty much in the same spot from where he did this yesterday...

    Straight onto the 12th tee for Scottie Scheffler and he takes aim at the pretty Golden Bell green.

    Let's give it a few more holes before we get excited by this [Rory McIlroy and Bryson DeChambeau] match-up.

    It's just Saturday. Sunday at Augusta - everything comes down to that.

    Scheffler -5, Hatton -4 (11)

    Close for Scottie Scheffler after a dime of an approach at 11.

    He's almost made birdie there to close within three but it drifts to the left and he stays at five under par.
