All over for Jordan Spieth. Not the round he, or those hoping for a a bit of history, wanted. He finished with a 70 and ends on +2 meaning he does not complete the career Grand Slam this time and in turn fails to break Tiger Woods' record as the youngest to do so.

In fact, Tiger will be breathing a sigh of relief as that ends Spieth's chances of ever taking that record from him. Spieth will be 25 next year at the US PGA, older than the 24 years, seven months and 25 days Tiger was aged when he won all four majors.

Matsuyama is in two bunkers at the fifth but he gets away with a par. The brilliant white sand is very similar to Augusta. We did some research on the Augusta bunkers because I want some for my place. It is actually not sand but quartz, and comes from the mining district in Western North Carolina. Not available in your local out of town garden centre anyway. Thomas also makes par and stays at four under, three behind our leader, Kisner.

In it goes with that elongated putter and Stroud is back where he started at six under.

Great shot from Stroud at the first of the par threes. Up it goes at 118 feet on Shot Tracer's apex - would still love to know how that is done - and he is going to have a five foot birdie chance to get one back on Kisner, who is not threatening the pin.

But something to concern us all is the reported 65% chance of showers at 7pm local time in North Carolina, just around the time the Championship should finish. You can just imagine it can't you? A play-off and a thunderstorm delay. A reminder that if it is level after 72 holes we will have a three-hole play-off over the Green Mile holes, 16, 17 and 18.

Still no cracks from Kisner, a neat chip up to four feet and it seems he can knock those in with his eyes closed. He stays seven under after three holes. All good so far.

Someone is going to have to do something pretty special to beat this as the shot of the day in my eyes. Brilliant invention from Jon Rahm. All because he couldn't be bothered to take his shoes and socks off...

Hello. One man who has threatened to challenge this week only to fall away is Francesco Molinari. He made a 64 on day two - the joint lowest round of the week - but followed that with a 74 yesterday. The Italian is quietly creeping up the leaderboard today though. Is he timing his charge to perfection? A second birdie of the round on the seventh takes him to -4 alongside Oosthuizen, Thomas and Grayson Murray.

Thomas meanwhile has missed his birdie putt back on the fourth hole.

He was the favourite but the world number three has still to gain on Kisner. At the par three fourth, with the airship looking down benevolently, Matsuyama plays to the back of the green and safely two putts to remain at five under, two behind the leader.

We just mentioned it has been a mixed bag from Justin Thomas to start and here is his birdie on the second which has been sandwiched between two bogeys. A chance of a birdie on the par three fourth though as he finds the heart of the green with his first shot.

The first problems for Kisner. He finds the fairway bunker at the third and his five iron out of the sand rolls back from the front of the green around 15 feet from the putting surface.

Another one gone for Justin Thomas. Bogey, birdie, bogey to start. He's keeping us entertained at least. His par putt from a testing distance just doesn't break left as he was expecting and runs around the back of the hole and away. The American holds his arm out, half in disgust and half in bemusement that the ball didn't drop.

He's back to -4, three shots off the pace.

I like it, Steve. Sadly there is nothing as extravagant for us. Has anyone else got a tasty final-round meal tradition?

Matsuyama, after those two short putts went awry at the opening two holes, gives it a chance for a birdie at the third but it stays above ground and he has to settle for par to remain two behind Kisner.

Kisner hasn't holed a lot from distance all week.

Beautifully judged putt from Stroud and it has a look at the hole before rolling a few inches beyond. Kisner is calmness personified again, stroking his in from three feet and it is as you were for the final pair.

Time for that headline again, Matsuyama's seven iron clatters into the flag from 180 yards. It has not been kind to him though and the ball ricochets 20-odd feet away. He will have that for a birdie.
