We’re halfway through the Masters Tournament already! The Golfing Gazette previews the third round at Augusta National.
It’s shaping up to be one of the most exciting Masters ever, with so many top players near the top of the leaderboard.
Bryson DeChambeau, Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler are all within three shots of 36-hole leader Justin Rose ahead of ‘moving day’ on Saturday.
Here we have the third round tee times, weather forecast and how to watch the play from Augusta.

The Masters leaderboard cut line

The Masters third round key storylines
Rose (-8) still leads the tournament, but his advantage has been cut from three shots down to one, with DeChambeau (-7) close behind him.
The story of the day was always going to be how McIlroy (-6) reacted to his nightmare last few holes on Thursday, and his response was world-class. He got an excellent 66 to put himself in contention.
It wasn’t an easy day for Scheffler (-5), who shot a steady 71 to keep himself in the picture without making the impression that many thought he would.
