It's Rose to go first, he's got a five-footer for par... leaves it a shade left, he's in with a 70 for -14 and a tie for second with Mickelson...

Rose cosies his birdie putt up there, he'll have a toughie for par and outright second...

Spieth has the luxury of enjoying his walk to the green, a few twirls of the hat, a deep breath, still a bit of work to do. Bit tasty, about six feet past, he needs that putt coming back to break Tiger's Masters record. Not that he'll give a fig.

Spieth hacks out of the pine straw at 18, we can safely say the Green Jacket is his from here. Rose into 18 and its short and right. We think that's Jordan's mum and dad behind the green, looking jumpy. I'd hate to see his mum if he was only one ahead...

Iain Carter
BBC golf correspondent on Radio 5 live"This is Rory's best Masters to date and I reckon if you'd have said to him at the start of the week 'We'll give you 12-under', he'd have bitten your hand off. It all came down to that one ruinous outward nine of 40 shots on Friday."

Peter Alliss
BBC Sport commentator"Rory came with so much hype, it was bordering on the ridiculous but he has coped with it remarkably. I am so pleased for Tiger, he hasn't embarrassed us or himself, he had played well enough, not majestically but shown enough spirit, style and quality to give him confidence in the future."
McIlroy happy with roundpublished at 23:48 British Summer Time 12 April 2015
Rory McIlroy, speaking on BBC Two after finishing 12 under: "I played well. I've played well over the entire weekend, a disappointing finish yesterday... but there are a lot of positives to take from it. I didn't quite have enough and it doesn't look like anyone could have kept up with Jordan this week. I'm sure it's still torture for him, he hasn't got that final putt to go in yet. He should enjoy it, It's great to see another young major champion, it's great for the game."

BBC golf correspondent on Radio 5 live"I really think Spieth is after the record here. His body language suggests it."
A reminder that with one more birdie for a 20-under par finish, Spieth would better Tiger Woods' 19-under par majors record score from the 2000 Open Championship at St Andrews.
Mickelson cards 69 for thirdpublished at 23:44 British Summer Time 12 April 2015
Image source, APMickelson's putt through the fringe at 18 gets snagged, leaving him with a troublesome one for par. In it goes for a 69, -14 and third on the leaderboard. Hoffman makes 74 for -7 and 11th. Rose and Spieth away at the 18th, Rose on the fairway, Spieth just off.

Image source, Getty ImagesSpieth has got 170 yards to the pin at 17. What a shot, could very well make birdie from there. Mickelson at 18 and he's chunked his approach out right. That contemplative look says everything - all is lost, all is lost and there's nothing more I can do...

Spieth on tee at 17, he made a double here yesterday. Decent enough drive, into the first cut out right. Only four men out on the course now, Spieth can only lose it.
McIlroy cards 66 for fourthpublished at 23:33 British Summer Time 12 April 2015
Image source, Getty ImagesMcIlroy makes that long-range birdie at the last for a 66, -12 and outright fourth. Woods just shaves the hole with his birdie attempt, the four-time champion finishes with a 73 for five under. Given he's barely played for two months, he's given a pretty good showing this week.

BBC Sport commentator"Spieth's work on the greens has been quite spectacular. He may have a quirky style, do things your not supposed to do but they have gone in time and time again. He has to keep alive and keep well and for the next 30 minutes and he has done it."
