9.33am: KJ Choi misses a birdie opportunity on 13. Woods has some work to do to make par on 17. Tiger pars. Are we heading for a playoff?
 
9.30am: From 180 yards Woods comes up short on the 17th. Not good. Hard to watch McIlroy capitulate as he now finds the tress and some shallow water of a stream. You have to feel for him. Ogilvy birdies his fifth in a row to take a share of the lead too. Adam Scott has a five-footer for the outright lead. Schwartzel misses a birdie chance for the outright lead. IT'S ALL HAPPENING AT AUGUSTA! Day leaves it inside Scott to have a go at the lead now too.

9.06am: TIGER, TIGER, TIGER. Plays a SUPERB shot on the 15th and leaves himself three feet for an EAGLE to possibly take the lead! VIDEO UP.
 
9.03am: Scott putting very well. He leaves himself a tap in for par on the 12th from a position that Tiger Woods three-putted from. McIlroy takes a 7 on the 10th and loses the lead.
 
9.00am: It's gone from bad to worse for McIlroy as he overheats. His fourth has hit a tree and he's playing his 5th on the par 4 and he's not even on the green.
 
8.55am: Woods looking to rejoin the group at 10 under with his birdie putt at 14 - aghhh, that was absolutely PAINFUL as it just slides by the cup. Adam Scott NAILS a spectacular birdie to go to 10 under. VIDEO UP. McIlroy in real trouble on the 10th.
 
8.49am: Tiger from 174 yards leaves it pin high and an 8-footer on the 14th for birdie. Is he starting to feel the sense of urgency that he plays so well under? Luke Donald finds the water on the 12th. Schwartzel pars 10. McIlory has hit a tree and is playing from the cabins on the 10th. He's going to have to chip out and he'll still have a long, long way to go playing his third. This is a defining moment.

8.38am: Are the wheels now falling off Woods' wagon? On 13 he missed the green, his chip then runs off the other side of the green. Hard birdie putt. Cabrera and Choi look like the movers right now. Cabrera has just left it close on 9. McIlroy has an 11-footer for birdie.
 
8.35am: Schwartzel unlucky as it slides agonisingly past the cup. He taps in for a 34 out. Choi sinks his putt though for a 33 and moves to 10 under.
 
8.31am: Cabrera gets his birdie to move to 10 under. KJ Choi plays a magic shot and nearly holes it from the fairway. VIDEO UP. McIlroy taps in for a par.

8.25am: To 12 now and Tiger blows it from three feet! That stops his momentum a touch! He had a long wait to putt did that play a factor? VIDEO UP.
 
8.23am: Cabrera unlucky not to catch the front of the green on the 8th and leaves himself a delicate chip and run. McIlroy even unluckier as he drives through the green and his chip is even tougher! He'll take confidence from a great swing.
 
8.15am: Woods pars the 11th after a putt that looked like it would be short but just kept on tracking.
 
8.09am: McIlroy gets his putt to take the lead back at 11 under. Cabrera does the same and moves to 9 under. It's a log jam at the top. Woods finds the green on 11. Adam Scott birdies the 8th to go two under for the day and 9 under for the tournament.
 
8.07am: Cabrera plays a great approach shot to leave himself a three foot birdie chance below the hole on the 7th.

8.03am: KJ Choi makes a birdie on 7 to put himself just one shot off the leaders.

7.19am: McIlroy misses a birdie putt on  the third but taps in for par. I'm sure the grip on club is a little tense - the young man HAS TO BE feeling the pressure. Woods just plays and extraordinary shot and has an eagle putt! 
 
7.13am: Woods nails another birdie and THE GAME IS ON! He moves to 8 under and only three off the pace. What a final day this is setting up. His game is on too. He has just drilled his tee shot.

7.00am: McIlroy finds the beach again on the second. He's struggling. His playing partner does a lot better and Cabrera has a long put for an eagle.
 
6.57am: McIlroy has started poorly. He bogeyed the first and is struggling - finding sand  - on the 2nd. The wheels need some oiling. Tiger birdies the 6th and is only four back at 7 under! THE CHASE IS ON.
 
6.53am: Tiger Woods plays a magical tee shot on the 6th. He called for it to "Be perfect" and it nearly was as he used the slope to track the ball below the cup. VIDEO UP.
