Just when it seemed he'd thrown his challenge away, Bryson DeChambeau came up with this astonishing shot on 18 to make birdie.

He still holds the best round of the week when he shot seven under on Thursday but has gone backwards since then.

Even so, just four back despite a troubled Saturday, he is at least still in contention.

If you were going to back one player to finish in the top five at a major - that isn't called Scottie Scheffler - you'd probably opt for his almost namesake Xander Schauffele.

He's always sniffing around the top of the leaderboard, even if he still hasn't managed to claim a major yet.

Five shots back is probably too far, but quiet, composed golf has got him into the top six, and may see him creep higher still.

The best player in the world doing what the best player in the world should do.

This was how Scottie Scheffler stabilised when his Saturday threatened to disintegrate.

Lift off!

Tommy Fleetwood couldn't buy a putt yesterday but today he's started by sinking a behemoth.

A beauty from Birkdale's finest.

Playing partner Cameron Young needs to make from seven feet for par, and duly does.

A composed second shot from Tommy Fleetwood finds the green at the first - he's given himself 25 feet for an opening birdie.

Cameron Young had to recover from the rough so he is off to the left and will be scrambling to get himelf through unscathed.

The stats say that tonight's winner will come from the top five on the leaderboard overnight - and it's even rarer that someone outside of the final pair will slip on that Green Jacket.

Here's what the stats say about the final round at the Masters:

• The past 27 winners have all been within four shots of the lead
• Only five of the past 33 champions did not play in the final group
• Overall, 49 third round leaders/joint leaders have gone on to win the Masters
• The biggest final round comeback is eight shots by Jack Burke way back in 1956

Looks like a scoring day today. The wind has dropped and the pins, many in traditional spots, are gettable.

We're already seeing that. Around half of those already out on the course are in the red.

Tom Kim is particularly having fun. The 21-year-old Korean is drawing blood from Augusta National, making EIGHT birdies today and currently six under for the day.

That sound? The leaders licking their lips and rubbing their hands.

Two men who both operate near the top of leaderboards, Tommy Fleetwood and Cameron Young are getting their rounds under way.

It's hard to believe but Fleetwood is yet to win in the US and Young has never won on the PGA Tour.

Both are a long way back so they couldn't... could they?

Safely down the fairway on one.

History is not exactly on the side of either of these players...

Only one player since 1990 has won the Masters after being tied for fifth entering the final round and that was England's Danny Willett in 2016.

Oh and the last winner to start Sunday evening in a tie for ninth was three-time champion Sir Nick Faldo in 1989.

Erstwhile Open champion Cameron Smith made a level-par 72 in the third round which included a sequence of 14 consecutive pars, but his ball striking was good and speaking last night he reckoned he could be in with a shout if he can get his putter going.

Meanwhile, even if Byeong Hun An can't get himself into the mix later today he is currently on course for his best ever finish in a major as things stand having finished in a tie for 16th at the US Open in 2019.

A fast start is surely imperative for both, if they want to put pressure on the leaders.

He's way off the pace, but the Augusta National patrons still want to watch Rory McIlroy in action.

The curious case of Jon Rahm was arguably the most intriguing storyline of this week.

The defending champion was bidding to become only the fourth man to win back-to-back Masters - but he arrived at Augusta in a completely different place from 12 months previously.

How would the LIV poster boy fare in the 72-hole format? Would he lack sharpness? Or would having a point to prove stoke the famous fire in his belly?

Rahm wasn't able to get to grips with Augusta in tricky conditions on the first three days, leaving him well out of contention coming into today's final round.

But he's not throwing in the towel (as if he would). The two-time major champion is already two under today after three birdies and a bogey in the opening seven holes.

The front nine has seen a total of 517 bogeys or more so far this week.

The second half of Augusta National more than double that number at a monstrous 1,149.

Players talk about being in contention on the back nine on Sunday. I wonder who tonight's victims will be.

He may have finished bottom of all the players that made the cut but look how many patrons turned out to watch Tiger on the 18th tee.

Still the biggest cat in professional golf.

As our coverage starts, Tiger Woods' Masters is coming to an end.

Five over for today, he's carded his worst ever score at Augusta.

But don't forget that just making the weekend was a huge achievement for a man who had played only 25 holes of professional golf before Thursday.

He was never likely to contend for a sixth Green Jacket and will have to watch tonight's drama unfold just like the rest of us.

Tiger Woods has struggled on the course today but he will have loved having his son Charlie with him this morning.

And Charlie even helped him out with a bit of swing coaching on the range beforehand. It's a real family affair at the Masters.

To whet your appetite, take a look at the best action from an enthralling third round.

Best Sunday night of the year?

With a stacked top 10, a staggeringly good European chasing a Green Jacket on debut and an English golfer stil in the mix, this could be a classic.

Welcome to the final round at Augusta.
