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

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

It was about as good a chip as you could expect from Rahm but he can’t make the return putt back up the hill - it’s his second bogey of the back nine and it stretches Koepka’s lead to three after he makes par.

Bennett also makes par with a well-judged two putt from the bottom of the hill.

Koepka -12 (15), Rahm -10 (15), Bennett -4 (15)

Thanks, Lawrence. Well, what a day we have in store. Rahm has worked hard to cut down the lead to just two but we’ve got plenty more action to come.

Up on the 16th, though, and Rahm finds himself in an awful spot. His tee shot leaks out the right and he’s behind the bunker with the green running away from the pin. He does well to keep it on the upper ridge with his chip but he’s got a lot of work to do for his par.

Koepka is in the bunker after his tee shot but it’s a superb effort from the sand - it almost catches the left edge of the hole and he should make par.

And with that I will hand you over to Ben Fleming for the rest of this 2023 Masters, with everything well poised. Enjoy.

Rahm plays one of the longest putts you could face at Augusta today from one corner of the rectangular-ish 15th green to the other, and leaves himself an eight-footer for birdie, which he misses on the low side, and that’s a three-putt par. Koepka has rolled up on to the green and should knock in for par too... he does. On they go.

-12 Koepka (15)

-10 Rahm (15)

-8 Hovland (16)

-6 Cantlay [68]

-5 Henley [71], Matsuyama [70]

A couple of heart-in-mouth moments! Rahm almost finds the water on the par-five 15th with his approach but manages to skip the ball on to the front edge of the green and survives after a bit of a mishit. And Koepka goes even closer! His ball pitches on the green, grips and spins back towards the water, but it clings on to the moisture on the grass and just holds.

Viktor Hovland is back playing some excellent golf, as he did on the opening day here, and he birdies 15 to move to eight under par, only four strokes back from our leader, Koepka.

Some images from this lead group on Easter Sunday at the Masters:

A rare mistake off the 15th tee by Koepka, who fails to get any fade on his drive and it scuttles into the patrons down the left-hand side. Rahm finds the fairway, as does Bennett.

The amateur Sam Bennett lips out for a bogey on 14 and slides further down the leaderboard and out of the picture. Rahm and Koepka roll in confident pars.

-12 Koepka (14)

-10 Rahm (14)

-7 Hovland (14)

-6 Cantlay [68]

-5 Henley (16), Matsuyama [70]

Cantlay is in the clubhouse with an impressive 68 – effectively a 66 or 65 in these conditions – and he’ll start the final round later today on six under par. The 2021 champion Matsuyama pars the 18th to finish his round on -5, while Fitzpatrick double bogeys the last to leave himself on -2.
