The Masters

Conditions as Adam Scott is on the driving range... sunny and with a breeze around.

Okay, that looks a stiff breeze in some places.

Thomas Pieters is flying. 5 under and playing beautifully.

Since then he's bogeyed the eleventh and in the water in the twelfth. Should learn to shut up when one of my favourites does well.

Confirmed- no Dustin Johnson for the Masters. Terrible luck

Shieet. Spieth with a 9 on 15.

And recovers with a near certain birdie on 16. Brilliant.

Matt Fitzpatrick leading at 3 under.

Bwahahahahaha.

Leishman the best of the Aussies at Even.

Stonking finish by Hoffman.

And, of course, Lee Westwood.

SO, all set up for another Sergio choke?

Gets my goat that we'll see someone like Mike Weir every year, but this is possibly the last we'll see Ernie at Augusta.

Then again, I'm sure there'd have been the same whinge with Trevino back in the day.

Adam Scott hovering?

Scoring average in the first two rounds over the past 20 years

Sergio gags on Amen Corner, but dodges a bullet at 13. He was in trouble with a penalty stroke but scrambled a par, while Justin Rose missed a 4 footer for birdie. Could've been a 2 shot swing.

Rose and Garcia tee off at 14 at 8 and 6 under respectively.

Sergio makes the most of the momentum change, birdie-ing 14. Rose had to sink a clutch 4 footer to avoid a 2 shot swing.

Garcia one behind with 4 to play.

Wow, Sergio eagles 15 after almost slam dunking a beautiful 7 iron. Rose birdies.

It's 9 under each going to 16. Momentum with Garcia.

After two brilliant tee shots on the short 16th, Rose birdies, but Sergio choked on a little side-hiller.

Rose 1-up with 2 to play.

Rose bogeys 17 after beaching. All square going to the final hole.

Rose blocked his 2nd on the 18th but got a magic kick off the bank. He just missed the birdie.

Sergio played the most magnificent wedge to within about 6 feet, but missed the lag down the hill.

Sergio played almost the perfect final 5 holes. With wedge in hand, he has been awesome.

It's a play-off.

I don't think Sergio will come back from that.

Advantage Sergio!

Rose puts it in the trees then chunks an attempted low runner.

Sergio has an 10 footer for the title, while Rose needs him to miss and sink his own 25 footer just to stay in it.
