The Masters 2025: day three – as it happened

DeChambeau prowls around the green, sizing up all angles. Eventually he’s got to give it a go. And, from 48 feet, he makes it! A left-to-right slider that always looks like going in! DeChambeau knew it, giving his putter a little pump before the ball dropped. A 69, and bedlam around the green. A bogey for Justin Rose, though, and it’s a 75 for the 2013 US Open champ. A sensational end to a sensational day, as DeChambeau high-fives his way into the sunset. Hope you’ll join us for the big showdown tomorrow!

Bryson has a downhill lie in the bunker, and he’s not able to see over the steep face. But he makes a plan and whip-cracks his second into the top-left corner of the green. The pin’s on the other side, but both ball and cup are on the top shelf. An outside chance for birdie; two putts will ensure he’s in the final pairing with his old rival Rory.
