  1. Postpublished at 21:08 British Summer Time 13 April 2019

    Woods -8, Poulter -7 (9)

    Here's one he made earlier... Tiger Woods reaches the turn at eight under par.

  2. Leader!published at 21:07 British Summer Time 13 April 2019

    Finau -10 (13)

    Quite magnificent from Tony Finau.

    He's at 10 under, dribbling a putt tentatively into the cup at a truly perfect weight on 13.

    Finau's last win came at the Puerto Rico Open in 2016. That's his sole PGA Tour win to date.

  3. 'Poulter had the eyes'published at 21:06 British Summer Time 13 April 2019

    Ian Poulter had to play with lots of break, it was a slow putt. But he had the eyes.

    It definitely takes more out of you when you are playing with Tiger Woods.

  4. Birdie, birdie for Poultspublished at 21:06 British Summer Time 13 April 2019

    Woods -8, Poulter -7 (9)

    Tiger Woods saves par to hit the turn at eight under par, one stroke off the lead, but here comes Ian Poulter... he sinks his birdie putt from all of 23 feet to move to seven under - that's back-to-back birdies for the Englishman!

  5. Birdie!published at 21:04 British Summer Time 13 April 2019

    Finau -9 (12) Schauffele -9 (8)

    Tony Finau hits sand on 13 and he doesn't have much green to work with. It'll be his third shot on the par five to come.

    Xander Schauffele has no sight of the green on eight - a par five. He pings a fairway metal at it hard and it goes and goes, up onto the green to leave an eagle look. This would take him into the lead on his own... confident putt...misses. Taps home for birdie to share the lead.

    Finau flops out of the sand and has a putt the length of the average family car for his birdie. Big moments, big characters, big sport.

  6. Simpson takes clubhouse leadpublished at 21:04 British Summer Time 13 April 2019

    Simpson -9 (F)

    Webb Simpson is home and hosed and can boast the clubhouse lead.

    Wonderful from the American today, shooting a round of eight under par that has catapulted him to the top of the leaderboard.

    Seven birdies, one eagle today and just the solitary bogey at six.

    He'll head into Sunday's final round at nine under par.

  7. Woods in the woodspublished at 21:00 British Summer Time 13 April 2019

    Woods -8, Poulter -6 (8)

    Uh, oh. Where's Tiger gone? He's taking the scenic route to the ninth green.

    Woods in the woods, but he's got a good look at the flag from there. It's slightly under-cooked from the American, came off his club medium rare that one when it was asking to be well done.

    It doesn't quite climb the bank up to the dancefloor and wriggles back down some.

  8. Day and Molinari within one of the leadpublished at 20:57 British Summer Time 13 April 2019

    Day -8, Molinari -8 (6)

    Jason Day is among that group of five players sitting one stroke off the leaders.

    He's started promisingly and has just birdied the par-three sixth after a wonderful tee shot to within a couple of feet of the pin - no sign of the pace letting up at Augusta.

    One of the others lurking just behind is Francesco Molinari. Birdies all round for this duo.

  9. Eagle!published at 20:57 British Summer Time 13 April 2019

    Fowler -7 (13)

    My word this is wide open.

    Rickie Fowler is to the side of the green on the 13th - a par five. So if he gets up and down it's birdie. What about if he holes it? What about IF HE HOLES IT!

    In she goes and Rickie is two off the lead thanks to the big bird - an eagle.

  10. Birdie for Koepkapublished at 20:53 British Summer Time 13 April 2019

    Koepka -8, Scott -7 (6)

    There's a huddle of players gathering behind the leaders. Brooks Koepka is one of them, he cancels out a bogey at the fifth with a birdie at the sixth to move back to eight under.

  11. Lowest Masters third round scorespublished at 20:52 British Summer Time 13 April 2019

    Finau -9 (12)

    If you're wondering how Patrick Cantlay's bogey-free 64 stacks up in Masters history just have a ganders at this.

    Right up there!

    But Tony Finau - saves par on 12 - and has two par-fives to come. He's a big hitter so he could well extend his current six under round.

  12. Birdie for Woodspublished at 20:51 British Summer Time 13 April 2019

    Woods -8, Poulter -6 (8)

    Huge putt for Tiger Woods. Drown this and he'll take a share of the lead.

    The four-time champion takes his time, sizes up the run in to the cup several times before steadying himself over the ball.

    Woods teases it towards the hole, that's left, just. Millimetres away from an eagle!

    He'll settle for birdie, that's three on the bounce, and he's one off the lead.

    Ian Poulter follows him down and moves to six under.

    Paul: Ironing on a Saturday evening may not be everybody’s idea of fun, but when you have a bottle of Pinot Noir and the silky smooth tones of Peter Alliss describing the Masters, all is good.

  14. Drop drop...published at 20:47 British Summer Time 13 April 2019

    D Johnson -6 (6) Schauffele -8 (7)

    Dustin Johnson has some cleaning up to do for par on the sixth. He walks after the putt and hated it, drops back to where he started at six under.

    Xander Schauffele scooped out of sand but left too much to do and it's bogey for the young danger.

  15. Eagle chance for Tigerpublished at 20:46 British Summer Time 13 April 2019

    Woods -7, Poulter -5 (7)

    Oh, Tiger!

    What a shot from Woods at the par-five eighth, lashing and winding an approach up into the Augusta sky and watching it bed down on to the green within 11 feet of the flag.

    He's there in two, and you wouldn't bet against him sinking this for eagle.

    Ian Poulter picks out a similar spot... he's there in three.

  16. Postpublished at 20:42 British Summer Time 13 April 2019

    Finau -9 (11) Schauffele -9 (6)

    Xander Schauffle will pay some price for pulling his drive as he has no shot to the green on seven.

    His caddie Austin tells him not to end in the right side of a bunker by the green. He's actually playing for a bunker here so he can give himself something around the green. He's in the sand - just what he ordered.

    Tony Finau has a birdie look on 11 but it's a monster break and not even his magic hands can manipulate it.

  17. 'It was my best ever by a lot'published at 20:41 British Summer Time 13 April 2019

    Cantlay -6 (F)

    Patrick Cantlay speaking on BBC Two after shooting a third round 64 - the third lowest round ever at the Masters:

    "It was my best ever by a lot. My best before this might have been 71. My swing feels good and I hit it really well today. When you get tap-in birdies on difficult holes like one and 14 it makes it so much easier.

    "The course is playing really well. Not making any bogeys, not going backwards is key so the par save on 18 was huge. I wanted to keep bogey free and thankfully I did. It’s soft out there, so you have to imagine the guys will go low today and tomorrow."

  18. Total recall from Cantlaypublished at 20:41 British Summer Time 13 April 2019

    Peter Scrivener
    BBC Sport at Augusta National

    A good memory from 27-year-old Patrick Cantlay, who is ranked 21 in the world.

    The American's best effort at Augusta National before today was indeed a one-under 71 - his first ever round, when he played the Masters as an amateur in 2012. He finished in joint 47th that year.

    He qualified to play last year but missed the cut after rounds of 75 and 76 left him seven over par.

  19. Bogeys all roundpublished at 20:41 British Summer Time 13 April 2019

    Scott -7, Koepka -7 (5)

    Can Adam Scott hang on to the leaders?

    Not like that... he bogeys the par-four fifth to drop back to seven under par. As does Brooks Koepka! He joins his playing partner at seven under.

  20. Spark needed...published at 20:37 British Summer Time 13 April 2019

    Oosthuizen -5 D Johnson -7 (5)

    Louis Oosthuizen v Dustin JohnsonImage source, BBC Sport

    These two were strong fancies this morning but right now they're looking on as birdies fall around them. Louis Oosthuizen has two bogeys on the card already, back to five under through the fifth.

    Dustin Johnson plodding along a shot better than where he started - seven under after five.

    They need to get it going.
