  1. McIlroy -12 (17)

    This is the bunker Rory McIlroy holed out from spectacularly in 2022.

    Before this round, probably his most memorable shot at the Masters.

    Oh boy would he take that now.

  2. McIlroy finds greenside bunker

    McIlroy -12 (17)

    Perfect position for Rory McIlroy in the middle of the 18th fairway and 125 yards left to the flag.

    Up it goes.

    Into the bunker!

    Drama till the very end.

  3. Very much enjoying the Holywood videos.

    Like a fan park during the Euros.

    Except thankfully with less beer lobbing.

  4. They enjoyed that birdie in Holywood

    Here's the reaction back at Rory McIlroy's home club in Holywood when that birdie dropped on the 17th.

  5. McIlroy -12 (17)

    Take your time Rory.

    It's a school night but I don't think anyone is going to bed yet.

  6. 'He nailed it'

    McIlroy -12 (17)

    Trish Johnson
    Eight-time member of the Team Europe Solheim Cup team on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    What a magnificent drive. He trusted himself.

    That is his A-game with his driver and he nailed it.

  7. McIlroy -12 (17)

    One final tee shot for Rory McIlroy.

    Boom.

    He's smoked that.

    Safely out of the bunkers. Safely into the short grass.

    One more good swing and a couple of putts from history.

  8. McIlroy -11 (17)

    For those of you without pictures, sorry you only had my ramblings earlier to describe this moment of magic from Rory McIlroy.

    Here's when he went all Harry Potter to swerve the trees at 15.

  9. Triple finish for Aberg

    Aberg -6 (72)

    Ludvig Aberg is done. He's been in two bunkers on the 18th and then even with his fifth shot by the side if the green he hits it mikes by.

    He finishes an excellent tournament with a shocking triple bogey seven on the last to sign for a 72 and finish on six under.

    Aberg was 10 under standing on the 17th tee but finished bogey-triple bogey. I think knowing he couldn't win after Rose's birdie on the last just took all the wind out of his sails.

  10. McIlroy -11 (17)

    A reminder of what's on the line.

    Win this and Rory McIlroy completes the career Grand Slam, the first European to join the four Americans and one South African in that exclusive club.

    And he ends the most agonising of 11-year waits.

    We've got all the stats in the world ready to throw at you if he gets this done.

  11. 'High-fives to nail biting'

    Mark Simpson
    BBC News NI at Holywood Golf Club

    And breathe.

    Rory’s revival has led to hugs, high-fives and a brief sing-song at Holywood Golf Club.

    Now it’s back to staring at the screen and biting any nails that are left.

    Frank: This is like McIlroy’s career in 18 holes - from the absolute ridiculous to the absolute sublime. It’s an emotional roller coaster and a half.

  13. One last thumbs

    McIlroy -12 (17)

    One shot lead.

    One hole left.

    Will Rory McIlroy win the 89th Masters?

    Tap away.

  14. I've heard some people say golf is boring.

    Really?

  15. McIlroy -12 (17)

    Nerves of steel this time from Rory McIlroy as he finally gives that second shot what it deserves and knocks it in.

    He's put his fans through the mill today.

    One more hole to navigate.

  16. McIlroy back in front

    McIlroy -12 (17)

    Never in doubt guv.

  17. McIlroy -11 (16)

    Bogey for Bryson DeChambeau at the 17th as he misses another putt.

    That drops him out of the top five.

    Stage set for Rory McIlroy to retake the lead.

  18. I don't think EJ8F1 is your real name.

    Unless Elon Musk is your dad perhaps?

    Paul: Generally understand why people get stressed at playing and watching golf. It’s on a knife edge one error, one bad bounce…and it’s gone

    EJ8F1: Stop that Rory

  20. McIlroy -11 (16)

    My colleague has just said if Rory McIlroy misses this putt, he's never watching golf again.

    Years of watching elite sportspeople knocking a tiny white (or yellow) ball around fancy courses on the line here.
