Even Take That could not have dreamed of a comeback like this...

On the 11th green - which brings to an end the second-toughest hole on the course this week - Sergio Garcia is timid over his birdie putt. It will not make it to the cup and it's par only. Charley Hoffman is more gutsy and races one past. He should roll it back home for par though...

Ryan Moore is flying. Left-to-right break on 13 from range... in there.

We might remember Jordan Spieth's quadruple-bogey NINE on the par-5 15th on Thursday. Don't think he does. That has been erased from his mind. 

Spieth eyes up his second shot - stick or twist. Twist! He lands his ball a foot past the pin, a touch of back spin and he is left with a birdie putt that he could knock in one-hand with his eyes closed.

Hello outright second place!

Say hello to Jeff Knox. 

Jeff is Augusta National’s regular playing partner whenever the cut line results in an odd number of players.

Not the worst gig in the world.

Twenty-nine holes have now passed since Jordan Spieth last dropped a shot. Another par on the 14th, then he walks over to the 15th. Remember what happened here on Thursday...

Lee Westwood is again looking likely to be in contention on a Sunday at a major after today's four-under-par 68. 

He told BBC Sport: "I played pretty well and did most things good. I hit a couple of exceptional bunker shots and getting into the red on Sunday was what I wanted."

On how much he can challenge on Sunday, he said: "It depends what the lead is. If someone goes silly round the back nine and gets to nine, 10 under then it will be tough. But the flags are hard and five, six under might lead."

That is a quality shot from Sergio to the 11th green. If we get back to Sergio and all the demons he has faced, he won't find any opposition here. He has a lot of fans and they would love to see him win a major.

Garcia and Hoffman both have mid-range putts for birdie on the tricky 11th.

Not sure on where you grew up, but if it was anything like me, the sand at the nearest beach wasn't that colour...

Rickie Fowler saves par on 11, no such luck for Thomas Pieters. Augusta has just made a mug of the Belgian. 

After dragging his tee shot into the pines, he ends up on the green for three. A chance of the save as he knocks on to five feet.

Unbelievable! Pieters needs THREE putts from there and walks off with a double bogey. He slides down the leaderboard quicker than he would have done on a Snakes and Ladders board.

Adam Scott graceful over his ball on 14 and wedges it in nicely - makeable birdie left. Rory McIlroy is looking less and less likely to complete the personal Grand Slam as he cannot drop an eight foot birdie effort on 15.

Rory steps on to 16, par three, over water. "Go, go, go," he says. It just about clears the drink.

Our leader Charley Hoffman makes up for a solid par on 10 with a slight pull on the 11th tee. Nothing too horrific but he may have a tricky stance on an upslope.

Sergio Garcia looking to punch the ball through this corridor of trees on 11... fairway and it runs and runs.

These two lads are in danger of being left behind if they don't start posting some birdies.

Rickie Fowler walked off the 10th with a bogey, now has a long birdie putt on the next. Still work to do, young man.

Lee Westwood on the last. The Worksop Wizard (has anyone ever called him that?!) is flying on the back half, moving himself into the red numbers.

Can he finish on a high? Not if a high means a birdie. He's in the sand just left of the green for two, splashing out a beauty that just misses the cup.

A tiddler for par goes in. That's a round of 68. The lowest round of day three up to now.

Rory McIlroy up on 15 is going all in here. He's picked up his chips and lobbed them in the middle of the table. Over 200 yards left on the par five... "sit, sit" he says instantly. It doesn't. He will have to get up and down for a birdie.

Justin Rose converts a knee-knocker on 13 for birdie on the par-five drag, Adam Scott matches him from twice as far out. That's a stellar pairing.

We've had a couple of eagles on 15. World number four Hideki Matsuyama has just recorded a three to go to two over. This was followed soon after by the 2011 champion Charl Schwartzel, who has moved to -2, -4 for his round.

Could that be a marker for the kind of scoring we are about to see from the leaders when they hit that back of the back nine?

Jordan Spieth is climbing the charts quicker than a best-selling album. Another birdie for the 2015 champion and 2016 chump.

A 30-foot eagle putt coasts towards the can on the par-five 13th, just lacking the pace to disappear underground. 

The easiest of tap-ins leaves him tied second and two shots off the lead.

James has tweeted us this: "Big Willie McGirt there, straight off the set of Step Brothers".

Ryan Moore takes aim from 182 yards on the 11th - this par four is the second-hardest hole on the course.

It pitches and hang on... this could threaten the cup... inches away. What a shot. He will go to three under.

Rahm is having an animated discussion with his caddy after going in the water at 12. I don't know if they picked the right club? Maybe he tried to hit a wedge too firmly. There is a bit of wind and maybe it is shifting about?
