There was a bizarre incident at today’s moving day at the Czech Masters. Belgium Thomas Pieters shot a 7 under 65 to take a one-stroke lead over Sweden’s Pelle Edberg going into the final day. And he managed his 65 with a two shot penalty for hitting the wrong ball!
It's the close of Moving Day at the 2017 Masters. And here's five things we have learnt today.
Rory McIlroy shot a brilliant 64 to force himself into contention for a first win of the year in the British Masters.
The forecast suggested that Augusta might be battered by storms today, but in reality it was an assembly of world class players who took this course to task. With Augusta’s oleaginous defences somewhat neutered by the moisture, a select band of extraordinary talents took full advantage.
The Wrap: Patrick Reed leads, Tiger makes the cut and Rory lurks...
This was Andy Sullivan’s day without a shadow of a doubt. He blazed it up again with another -7 under 64, that included three birdies on the front nine and four on the back nine, and not a single dropped shot.
Justin Rose holes a 38-foot birdie putt at the par-four eighteenth to move into a tie for the lead with Jim Furyk after the third round of the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational on Saturday.
Justin Rose shot a third round 68 to close the gap on leader Gary Woodland to just one shot, with the field a further three shots back. Looming ominously in the pair’s rear-view mirror is one Brooks Koepka who shot a bogey free round of 68 to continue his slow, but continuous, move up the leaderboard.
We had everything on Friday at The Masters: A stellar leaderboard; birdies galore; storm threats; unbelievable recovery shots; a marshall slide-tackling Tiger Woods on the 14th hole (he still made birdie) and some truly comical moments starring Zach Johnson, Rory McIlroy and Kiradech Aphibarnrat.
Ernie Els had a nighmare moving day round at the Masters, shooting an 83 to end the day at at +14 and in last place.
Jeunghun Wang has opened up a three–shot lead on moving day at the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters, so it's all change at the top after yesterday's nine–way tie.
It's moving day and it's, well, time for people to start moving about the leader board. Otherwise it'll just end up being called 'staying where you are day' and that would be rubbish...
