The Masters 2023 LIVE: Leaderboard and reaction as Jon Rahm wins first green jacket

Koepka -11 (73), Rahm -9 (73), Bennett -4 (76)

Rahm goes first out of the rough. He nurses it down to the hole but it remains above the par and he’s got an awkward downhill putt left for his par...but no bother he makes it.

Koepka leaves himself a bit of work to do after his first putt but makes the par. Bennett does the same.

And with that, round three draws to a close. Rahm and Koepka will contend the final pairing with the American ahead by two. Don’t go anywhere...

Koepka -11 (17), Rahm -9 (17), Bennett -4 (17)

Rahm takes a four iron into this stiff breeze. His ball flies over the green and ends up in a very similar spot to Morikawa’s just a moment ago. That’s a tricky spot but he’ll need to get down in two from there to remain in the final pairing.

Koepka and Bennett are safely aboard the green but have only long-range efforts for birdie.

Hovland -8 (70), Morikawa -4 (74), Day -3 (74)

Up ahead on the green and Hovland has a birdie effort from across with green...which just misses on the right side - that looked in all the way. He knocks it in and makes par for a great round of 70 and he is right in this contest.

Morikawa is in the rough beyond the green after his second but nurses down a beautiful putt through the first cut to leave himself a simple par putt. Day also makes par and those two sign off for rounds of 74.

Koepka -11 (17), Rahm -9 (17), Bennett -4 (17)

We arrive at the last hole of this third round and all three send their drives down the middle and find the fairway. Rahm will need to make par to ensure that he is in the final round-four pairing this afternoon.

Im -2 (67)

Sung-jae Im barely made the cut with a par save on the 18th yesterday but he’s made the most of this third round to rocket up into a tie for 15th. He nurses down a tricky birdie effort on his last hole and taps in for par. Five under par and a very solid round.

Koepka -11 (17), Rahm -9 (17), Bennett -4 (17)

Well, it may not be conducive to birdies but it certainly is to bogeys. Brooks makes a meal of it on the green and his par putt effort lips out on the right-hand side. That’s his first three-putt of the week

Rahm sees his birdie drift past but he knocks in for par, as does Bennett. The lead is back to two.

Spieth -1 (76), Burns +1 (78), Young -2 (75)

I fancied one of these three to make a move up the leaderboard and challenge the leader but it hasn’t transpired that way at all. Spieth misses his birdie effort and rounds out his four-over-par round.

Burns finds himself in trouble off the tee and makes a triple bogey on the last. He now finds himself on one over par. Cam Young makes a bogey and he ends on two under.

Koepka -12 (16), Rahm -9 (16), Bennett -4 (16)

The 17th is not a hole particularly conducive to birdies and Koepka and Bennett find solid positions on the green with their irons in. Rahm flies one a bit closer and he’ll have the best look for birdie on the penultimate hole of this third round.

Hovland -8 (17)

Many, myself included, thought this was going to be a two-horse race today. Well, enter Viktor Hovland. Five birdies in a row on the back nine has seen him rise to eight under. A poor iron into the 17th green leaves him with work to do but he sinks a 14 feet putt to save his par and he is now just one back from Rahm with the Spaniard’s drop shot on 16.

Mickelson -1 (75)

A bogey at the last for Phil and it’s a four over par 75 for the three-time Masters champion. He sits in a tie for 21st currently.
