    Fowler (-5 after 10)

    "Ham and cheese Rickie." says one fan as Fowler skims one from the trees on 11.

    Ham and cheese. I mean seriously?

  2. Kuchar enters the mixpublished at 22:00 British Summer Time 9 April 2017

    Kuchar (-3)

    Martin Kaymer took advantage after the turn earlier. Now American Matt Kuchar is making hay. He has birdied the 12th, 13th and 14th to move to three under. 

    He and Kaymer are pointing the way to what might be possible for the leaders (and, intriguingly, the chasing pack) in a few holes time.

    We couldn't ask for anything more. The two players in the final group, dead level dueling over the final nine holes.

    Garcia (-8 after 8) Rose (-8 after 8)

    On the ninth green Sergio Garcia and Justin Rose are seeing their nerves tested. Rose two putts from range and judges a huge break expertly. He was set point down there as Garcia was only 10ft away for birdie but the break in the green halts him. We go on.

    Both men make the turn in 34 - two under for their rounds.

  5. Postpublished at 21:57 British Summer Time 9 April 2017

    Fowler (-5), Schwartzel (-4), Casey (-3)

    Rickie Fowler is back in business after that little wobble earlier. Another gutsy birdie attempt on the 10th sneaks past the hole, however.

    Meanwhile, up ahead, Charl Schwartzel doffs his visor on the 12th tee. He's got his dancing shoes on. Birdie putt awaits.

    Paul Casey cannot move alongside him though - despite reaching the par-5 13th in two shots. Three putts means a par will have to do.

    Much is made of the treacherous 12th with its water carry and all.

    Thomas Pieters shrugs at such nonsense. Iron off the tee to the fringe, long putt drained. Three under.

    Ryan Moore has reason to feel aggrieved as his birdie putt on 10 goes close, but close wins nothing. And Rory McIlroy will likely win just that, despite converting from three feet for birdie on the par-five 13th.

  9. Birdie for Schwartzelpublished at 21:49 British Summer Time 9 April 2017

    Schwartzel (-4)

    Charl Schwartzel rode into home on the back of four birdies when he claimed the 2011 title. The same today would put him right in the mixer.

    The South African confidently birdies the 11th - his second in three holes - to sit on the shoulder of the frontrunners.

    Now for the sprint finish. But wait...there's the hurdle of the par-three 12th ahead.

  10. Postpublished at 21:45 British Summer Time 9 April 2017

    Casey (-3)

    Casey sizing up the 13th...going for the green in two after a beefy drive. He's made it. Phew. Only a 62 foot for birdie, mind.

  11. Match that?published at 21:43 British Summer Time 9 April 2017

    Justin Rose is on fire here! That is three in a row and he turns to playing partner Sergio Garcia and says 'match that pal!'.

    Justin Rose from 15ft then for birdie... line looks good... weight looks good. It drops in the right edge.

    Sergio Garcia... wide. Hangs on the lip. Level.

  13. Postpublished at 21:43 British Summer Time 9 April 2017

    Spieth (-2), Fowler (-5)

    Jordan Spieth's 30-foot-plus birdie putt on the ninth sneaks up on the hole like a cat burglar. Can't sneak in through the window and rob a birdie though. He stays six adrift at the turn, oh what he would do to be sat in Rickie Fowler's shoes.

    Fowler knocks in from close range to clock a par and stay within spitting distance of co-leaders Garcia and Rose.

  14. Postpublished at 21:40 British Summer Time 9 April 2017

    Garcia (-8 after 7) Rose (-7 after 7)

    To the third shots on eight of Sergio Garcia and Justin Rose.

    Rose chips heavily and will have maybe 15ft for birdie. Clumsy. Garcia uses a three metal I think to bump and run...heavy...10ft left. Clumsy too.

    I'm going to start spending my days off in second-hand shops hunting goods.

    Why? Because in today's papers there's a tale of an individual who paid £4 for a Green Jacket in a thrift shop.

    It turned out to be authentic and though no one knew which champion the jacket belonged to, it sold at auction for over £112,000.

    Roughly translated, by our basic Spanish GCSE, as: "Have a good day. Following from home and I'm animated!!"

    Garcia (-8 after 7) Rose (-8 after 7)

    Sergio Garcia on eight, he will go for the green from 203 yards on this par five. It's short, as is Justin Rose.

    That is like having Christmas on July 4th. You could give Jon Rahm 50 balls and he wouldn't do that again.

  20. What a shot!published at 21:33 British Summer Time 9 April 2017

    Rahm (-1 after 13)

    Jon Rahm draws some of the biggest roars of the day on 13 with eagle. He's in the sand on the par five drag but delicately lifts the ball out. It lands on the green and with perhaps 50ft of roll, curls home. He's watching it and jumps for joy. The high fives flow...

    What a shot indeed.
