  1. Jordan jumping

    -4 after 12

    Tee shot to 12 feet, rock-solid down the slope, lead back to three. McIlroy with a birdie chance of his own... no, not today. 

  2. Paul Azinger
    1993 PGA Championship winner on BBC TV

    "I think it is unnecessary to go at that green with a wood like Willett did today."

  3. Willett in the drink

    Danny Willett, one under, tied for fifth, slams his approach on 15 into the drink. A grimace, and why not.

  5. Langer long

    Way long, crashing it through through the 18th. After you - no after you. no no, I insist....

  6. McIlroy in deep water

    It's painful to watch...but you just can't seem to stop yourself...

    McIlroy finds the water at 10th

    Paul Christie: Rory's caddie has to take control there and tell him that shot is too high risk. Instead he's played himself out of the tournament

  9. Spieth wobble

    -3 after 11

    The putting woes are catching - now it's the champ's turn to three-putt, and that's a double-bogey of his own. Langer's one shot off the third round Masters lead at 58...

  10. Peter Alliss
    BBC Sport commentator live on BBC Two at Augusta

    "It is all beginning to collapse."

  11. Double-bogey McIlroy

    +2 after 11

    Does well to sink that nine-footer, but that's five shots dropped across the first 11 holes, and that sort of stuff wins you nothing but a broken heart.

  12. McIlroy double bogey...

    ...at best. His chip from the drop went long, his putt from the fringes has raced on by.

    Ken Allen: C'mon Bernhard Langer, it's like I've reverted back to the 1980s watching the masters with my Da!

  14. Watch Langer's birdie double

    Here's how the German got to two under.

    You never lose it.

    'Bernhard, Bernhard you amaze us all'

  15. Langer in pine

    -1 on 18th

    Langer's current world ranking is 1080. He's gone a fraction right off the 18th, but he'll have a shot from there.

  16. Peter Alliss
    BBC Sport commentator live on BBC Two at Augusta

    "I don't think this is going to be McIlroy's year but you never know, we have seen golfing miracles."

  17. Ken Brown
    BBC Sport commentator live on BBC Two at Augusta

    "There was always a risk of that, even if he had hit that perfectly.

    "I'm not sure I would not have played it myself."

    Matt Barron: Rory is capitulating here. Seems to be clinging on to the hope that Speith will drop shots and not happening.

  19. Splash!

    McIlroy falling apart out there - tee shot on the 11th deep into the pine straw, greedy second chased down the hill and straight into the drink. Heaviest of sighs.

  20. Ken Brown
    BBC Sport commentator live on BBC Two at Augusta

    "McIlroy needs a bit of luck here. It doesn't look like he has a backswing."
