  1. What's blue, pink and fizzy?published at 21:18 British Summer Time 12 April 2015

    Apparently Augusta National has invented a new drink named 'Stand 12'.

    The name is hardly inventive as it is sold in just one place - behind stand 12 - but the recipe yields something that is half pink, half blue and has a dab of fizz on top.

    "Inventor Jasmine Kilgore said the invention came about when she put pink lemonade, blue sports drink and Sprite in a clear Masters cup," reports the Augusta Chronicle., external

  2. Spieth into the treespublished at 21:17 British Summer Time 12 April 2015

    Jordan Spieth gets the driver out for the first time today on the seventh... pushes it right and the patrons are running for cover, some are forced to leave their seats and the brave ones are running in search of the ball. Justin Rose follows him but is in a worse spot, tucked up behind a huge pine tree. Interesting hole ahead of us. Oh, and there's a birdie for Rickie Fowler on the 16th. The American has produced the best round of the day so far, going six under; seven under for the tournament.

  4. Bogey for Rosepublished at 21:14 British Summer Time 12 April 2015

    Can Justin Rose save par on the sixth? Nope. The Englishman drops a shot and Jordan Spieth extends his lead to four shots by virtue of playing the percentage game.

    A birdie on the seventh for Rory McIlroy, his first of the day. No celebrating from the Northern Irishman, he knows his chance has gone, gone, gone. Bogey for Tiger Woods on the seventh. The four-time champion dropping to four under.

    Justin Rose chews his lip as he watches his tee shot on the par-three sixth... the ball lands on the green but it doesn't want to stay there and goes into reverse before nestling in the long(ish) grass. Rose lets go of his club. Work to do if he's to come away with a par. Jordan Spieth not happy with his tee shot, either, groaning as it lands on the back of the green, about 50ft from the flag.

    "I didn't understand that shot. Why use a sand wedge when you can bump it with a seven iron?

    "Four shots is nothing on this course. I never thought it would be an easy day for Spieth although I do think he will win. However I wouldn't be surprised if he is tied at some point. Rose is chipping away at him."

    Leader Spieth duffed a chip from off the green at the par-four fifth to walk away with a bogey five and his lead was reduced to three shots.

    That is such a big putt. You've got to avoid a big number when you're out in front and he did just that.

    Not even Harry Houdini could get himself out of trouble on this one, and neither can Jordan Spieth. A bogey for the American on the par-four fifth and he drops to 17 under. Focus returns to Justin Rose. The Englishman deliberating, pausing, adding to the tension, before tapping in from about four foot for par. Spieth now leads by three shots.

    Maisie, London: I never knew the Grand Canyon was in Georgia. Those bunkers on the 5th are big enough to need air-lifting out.

    Tom, Dubai: At this stage it is really going to take a low score from Rose or a Spieth implosion to settle this.

    Gregg in Bristol: If Spieth plays this slowly for much longer surely they will put him on the clock? He takes ages!

    Back to Justin Rose in the sugary sand and it's a miraculous effort from the Englishman, the ball stopping dead about three foot from the cup. Over to you, Mr Spieth - and the American botches his effort, his chip sticking to the edge of the green. Oh my word. Ian Poulter with a birdie chance on the ninth... close, close, close but it rolls away.

  14. Willett rues chilly puttingpublished at 20:56 British Summer Time 12 April 2015

    English debutant Danny Willett reacts to his one over par finish on BBC Sport: "It's not too bad. The putter's been very cold all week. We were course mapping well, put it in good spots, but have not been able to catch the lies like some guys have. All in all it's been a brilliant week. The golf course has been really good today. Someone could go out there and shoot a really good number, but at the same chalk you could play a nice round and not quite get it."

    "When you are watching Augusta on television you look at the bunkers you don't realise how big and deep they are. They are like sandpits and some are like swimming pools. Unless you find a flat spot at the bottom there is no way to reach the green. The sand has a texture like sugar and you don't want to play out of them."

    Justin Rose finds himself 195ft from the pin, he can see the flag fluttering in the distance... but he overcooks it and will have to work his way out of the sand. A chance for Jordan Spieth to turn the screw? He's talking to himself, a far from perfect shot on the fourth from the young American, right of the green, but not as bad as Rose.

    Paul Azinger on BBC Two commentary can't decide whether he likes Spieth's chances of getting up and down for par. "It's not a bad spot," he says. "But the green is running away from him."

    We're on the fifth and watching Justin Rose, driver in hand. His tee shot flies to the moon and back onto the fairway. Ian Poulter, splendidly colourful as usual, lilac his colour of choice today, is moving and a shaking. A birdie on the eighth. A simple tap in, and he's seven under and tied for sixth. Phil Mickelson walks away from the fifth with a bogey. Silence from the patrons.

    Roars for Dustin Johnson as he birdies the seventh. He moves up the leaderboard on eight under. Next we turn our attention on to Adam Scott, belly putter in hand, an eagle in sight, but his effort teases the cup and he's a pimple short.
