7.00: Rasmus Hojgaard (Denmark); Viktor Hovland (Norway) 7.10: Scottie Scheffler; Tyrrell Hatton (England) 7.20: Matt McCarty; Shane Lowry (Ireland) 7.30: Rory McIlroy (N. Ireland); Corey Conners (Canada) 7.40: Justin Rose (England); Bryson DeChambeau Tom Kim (+2, 73, 73) with a one-hop and into the hole chip on the 18th for birdie. Lovely way to finish. Zach Johnson (-3) has birdied the 13th. Two-time Major champion Collin Morikawa (-4) pours in a birdie at the first to move into the top 10. McIlroy’s mantra today is “to let the score come to me,” and “to not look at leaderboards too much.” He has just conducted an interview at the side of the putting green as he fine tunes ahead of his tee off time. Zach Johnson (-2), the 2007 Masters champion, is four under for his round having birdied the 12th, a card that includes an eagle, three birdies and just a single dropped shot. He’s got the two par fives (13th and 15th) coming up so if he can pinch a couple more shots from the course, he might not be too far adrift starting Sunday. A couple of former Masters champions Jordan Spieth (-1, 14 holes) and Zach Johnson (-1, 11 holes) are putting together decent rounds, both three under on today’s card. Rahm, another green jacket winner (level) and Cantlay (level) both dropped shots on the difficult 10th. Jon Rahm has shown what can be done in relatively benign conditions, four birdies and a bogey on the front nine have seen him race from two under for the tournament to one under. Patrick Cantlay is on the same mark, the American three under today having recorded an eagle at the eighth, as he turns for home.

John O’Sullivan here to take you through all the action. The weather is good and hopefully the Irish duo of Rory McIlroy (-6) and Shane Lowry will be able to chase down and overtake leader Justin Rose (-8) and his closest pursuer Bryson DeChambeau (-7). I wonder if they had breakfast together as they did before Friday’s rounds. Irish Times Golf correspondent Philip Reid explained: “Yet their destinies are intertwined. Luck of the draw, perhaps? Because, with McIlroy and Lowry in back-to-back groups, the rare opportunity for a sit-down breakfast – unplanned – allowed the two Irishmen to get their heads around the task at hand. “Or, maybe, just to shoot the breeze? In golf, where one day merges into another, time and space can be hard to find.” Lowry revealed: “We talked about what he did yesterday and he was quite frustrated. I’m sure last night was tough for him. But for both of us, there’s a lot of golf to be played this weekend yet, and he knew that.” Lowry is playing alongside Masters rookie Matt McCarty (7.20pm, Irish) while McIlroy will have Canadian Corey Connors for company and is off the first at 7.30 in the penultimate two-ball.
