Live Masters 2025: Latest updates from final round at Augusta
Latest updates Kieran Crichard (live updates). James Corrigan Golf Correspondent, at Augusta. Oliver Brown Chief Sports Writer, at Augusta 13 April 2025 1:36pm 1:35PM Early tee times All times BST 2:40 p.m. – Brian Campbell 2:50 p.m. – Hideki Matsuyama, Akshay Bhatia 3:00 p.m. – Justin Thomas, Min Woo Lee 3:10 p.m. – Brian Harman, J.J. Spaun 3:20 p.m.– Patrick Cantlay, Wyndham Clark 3:30 p.m. – Danny Willett, J. T. Poston 3:40 p.m. – Sam Burns, Stephan Jaeger 4:00 p.m. – Matt Fitzpatrick, Nick Taylor 1:30PM Battle for the Green Jacket Good afternoon and welcome to coverage of the final round from The 2025 Masters. Rory McIlroy holds a two-shot lead going into the final round after a second stunning round of 66 yesterday in the third round. The Northern Irishman has had to wait over ten years for a major since claiming The PGA Championship at Valhalla back in 2014 and could seal the career Grand Slam with victory today. He would become just the sixth man to ever achieve that feat after Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods. There have been so many near misses over the last decade but the Northern Irishman has put himself in a great position to end the major drought and claim the career Grand Slam. Speaking after his third round, McIlroy talked through his second consecutive round of 66 and his excitement for the final round. 'It was a dream start,' McIlroy told Sky Sports. 'I had a bit of a wobble around the middle of the round, I should have converted the birdie on nine, but I think I steadied myself on 11 and 12. To play those even par was important. 'I was trying to take advantage of the par fives and then the shot of the day for me on 15 and being able to convert that. A great Saturday and I am excited for tomorrow [today]. I will not shy away from it. Situations like tomorrow [today] are the reason I get up, work hard and try to do the right things. If I did not want this moment I would not be doing those things. These are the pairings I want to be in and I am excited for that.' Back in 2011, a 21-year-old McIlroy led by four shots going into the final round at Augusta only to fall apart on the back nine. He carded a round of 80 to finish in a tie for 15th place. McIlroy will be joined in the final group by Bryson DeChambeau, who begins the final round two shots back on ten under. DeChambeau looked like he would start the final round three shots back before sinking an incredible 50-foot putt on the last. These two were involved in one hell of a tussle for the US Open at Pinehurst No2 last year, with DeChambeau coming out on top to claim his second major with an incredible bunker shot on the last. McIlroy had led at Pinehurst in the latter stages but a couple of terrible missed putts proved costly. It was a three-under round of 69 for DeChambeau yesterday and, speaking after his round, highlighted the importance of just focusing on the next shot. 'I was not striking my irons well today [Saturday]] so I have got to work on that and if I can get that locked in for tomorrow [Sunday] it is going to be a fun match. Every hole matters, the most important thing is looking forward to the next shot and thinking 'how can I give myself the best chance?' [It is about taking it] just one shot at a time – get into every shot and execute to the best of your ability. That is all you can focus on.' Canada's Corey Conners starts the final round at eight under with Ludvig Aberg and Patrick Reed in a tie for fourth on six under. Justin Rose, who led for the first two rounds, is one of four players at five under which includes the defending champion Scottie Scheffler, Shane Lowry and Jason Day.

Live The Masters 2025: Latest updates from third round at Augusta
12 April 2025 1:58pm 1:58PM Sky Sports' Nick Faldo on Rory McIlroy 'It is fabulous stuff. To go on after yesterday [Thursday] and the two doubles, I felt he had basically gone back to zero and started again. This is going to be won at 10 or 12 under, he's got plenty of time; he's got three rounds to get to that score. 'He has looked great, it is all how you react when something goes wrong. Once you start seeing the trouble, you have to deal with it the next hole. He has been around here enough times, he knows sections of the green that are dangerous. Do not try and be a hero and land right on the number, give yourself half a chance. He really looks like he can do it this time.' 1:52PM Later tee times 6.30pm Ludvig Aberg, Hideki Matsuyama 6.50pm Jason Day, Sungjae Im 7pm Rasmus Hojgaard, Viktor Hovland 7.10pm Scottie Scheffler, Tyrrell Hatton 7.20pm Matt McCarty, Shane Lowry 7.30pm Rory McIlroy, Corey Conners 7.40pm Justin Rose, Bryson DeChambeau 1:46PM Early third-round tee times All times BST 2.50pm Tom Kim 3pm Joaquin Niemann, Jordan Spieth 3.10pm Stephan Jaeger, Max Greyserman 3.20pm Danny Willett, JT Poston 3.30pm Jon Rahm, Zach Johnson 3.40pm Patrick Cantlay, Akshay Bhatia 3.50pm Denny McCarthy, JJ Spaun 1:40PM Those all-important pin positions Hole locations for the third round. #themasters — The Masters (@TheMasters) April 12, 2025 1:35PM Round three at Augusta National Good afternoon and welcome to coverage of round three from The 2025 Masters. 44-year-old Justin Rose heads into the weekend with a one-shot lead after backing up his opening round of 65 with a one-under 71 yesterday to be nine under through the first two rounds. Rose, who won his only major at the US Open in 2013, has come close to winning The Masters before, most notably in 2017 when he lost in a playoff to Sergio Garcia, and has said if anything he may enjoy winning it now more than he would have done when he was younger. 'I think I will take it any time. Beggars cannot be choosers, you know. But I would take it right now for sure. Sometimes if it happens too early in your career, you have got a lot to live up to. I think if it happens now, I would enjoy it, I think, probably a lot more, coming a bit more as a gift towards the end of your career. So I think there would be a lot more satisfaction in it for sure. 'I feel like there have been other sorts of great accomplishments in that time. I think winning the Olympic gold medal [in 2016] gave me a lot of satisfaction in that interim period, getting to world number one, winning the FedExCup. I think really big milestone moments in my career have happened in that 12 years, which distracts you from the fact that you have not won a major in that period. Yeah, 12 years slips by pretty quick. But I have not been dwelling on that fact at all.' Rose will go off in the final pairing later at 7.40pm BST alongside 2024 US Open champion Bryson DeChambeau, who shot a four-under 68 yesterday to be just one shot behind Rose. One shot further back from DeChambeau is Rory McIlroy, who carded a six-under round of 66 to move within two of the lead. McIlroy had looked on course for a strong first round, only to be undone by two double bogeys on the closing stretch on day one. He responded with the best round of anyone yesterday and, speaking after his second round, was clearly delighted with how he bounced back from a rough end to his first round. 'I am proud of myself with how I responded today [Friday] after the finish last night [Thursday],' McIlroy said. 'I just had to remind myself that I played really good golf yesterday, and you know, I was not going to let two... you know, two bad holes sort of dictate the narrative for the rest of the week. 'I was so frustrated last night because I played so well, and you can make these big numbers from absolutely nowhere on this golf course, just like the most benign position. So it was a good reminder that you just have to have your wits about you on every single shot.' McIlroy goes off in the penultimate group with Canadian Corey Conners at 7.30pm. McIlroy's good friend Shane Lowry is on five under alongside defending champion Scottie Scheffler and Tyrrell Hatton. Phil Mickelson, Tony Finau, Bob MacIntyre and Brooks Koepka were amongst those to miss the cut as well as defending champions Bernhard Langer and Fred Couples. Having announced ahead of the tournament that this would be his last Masters, the two-time former champion Langer looked like he would just make the weekend but it slipped away from him at the death. Sit back and enjoy round three from Augusta National.

Seahawks QB Sam Darnold reveals his favorite foods at The Masters
One of the biggest sporting events of the year kicked off earlier this week when the 2025 Masters got underway. The golfing spectacle brings out the biggest stars in sports and entertainment alike. Among this year's standouts is new Seattle Seahawks starting quarterback Sam Darnold. Darnold sat down with ESPN for an exclusive interview to discuss a variety of topics, including his favorite concession foods at The Masters. The annual event often draws rave reviews for its unique and historic food choices. It's safe to say Darnold was impressed. "Egg salad," Darnold responded to a question about his must-get at The Masters' concession stands. "Egg salad sandwich. I got to have it every time I come. Every time I get there [the concession stands] in the morning, it's an egg salad sandwich, a water, and the apple slices. That's my breakfast when I get through the gates. I guess that's kind of my tradition that I've started for myself here." Advertisement The Seahawks signed Darnold to a three-year contract worth $100.5 million. Head coach Mike Macdonald is entrusting Darnold to oversee a new-look offense spearheaded by first-year offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak. Hopefully the Seahawks approve of his dieting choices at The Masters. This article originally appeared on Seahawks Wire: The 2025 Masters: Seahawks QB Sam Darnold reveals favorite foods

Why is Verne Lundquist not calling The 2025 Masters?
Why is Verne Lundquist not calling The 2025 Masters? Legendary broadcaster Verne Lundquist is as synonymous with The Masters as green jackets and pimento cheese sandwiches. However, you won't hear Lundquist during this year's CBS Sports broadcast of the golfing event. Lundquist retired from calling The Masters last year after 40 years, which explains why he won't be featured in the network's coverage. As he's 84 years old, it's very understandable why Lundquist wanted to step away from broadcasting The Masters. However, it's still pretty surreal to know he's retired from calling the event. Verne Lundquist: His best broadcast calls at The Masters While it's going to be very weird to watch The Masters without Lundquist on the broadcast, Jim Nantz is still around to welcome us to Augusta.
