AFTERNOON
Hello everyone, I’ll be your host for the final day of the Masters 2018. I say it every year, but It’s gone too quickly, right?
Anyway, we’ve got a mouth-watering final day to look forward to with Patrick Reed and Rory McIlroy going head-to-head for the famous Green Jacket.
Those two get going at 7.40pm.
Before they get started, we’ve got plenty more going on with 2000 Masters champions Vijay Singh teeing off at 3pm.
He’s followed by Ian Poulter, Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods, who wants to end the week on a high.
WHAT THEY SAID…
Rory McIlroy: “It’s massive to be in the final group for the first time here since 2011,” said McIlroy.
“I’ve been waiting for this chance, to be honest. I always have said that 2011 was a huge turning point in my career. It was the day that I realised I wasn’t ready to win major championships, and I needed to reflect on that and realise what I needed to do differently.
“But now I am ready. Obviously I’m not in the lead like I was going into that day, so I probably don’t have as much pressure. I don’t have to protect anything. I can go out and sort of freewheel like I did today, which is a great position to be in.
“I wish I was a little closer to the lead or leading, but I’m in the final group and I’ve shot 65 on moving day at the Masters. It’s all I can ask for.
“I’m really excited to show everyone what I’ve got, to show Patrick Reed what I’ve got and all the pressure is on him. He went to Augusta State and has a lot of support and I’m hoping to come in here and spoil the party.
“Patrick’s got a three shot lead, I feel like all the pressure’s on him. He’s got a few guys chasing him who are pretty big time players. He’s got that to sleep on tonight.”
Patrick Reed: “It’s going to be a lot of fun.
“Obviously we’re both playing really solid golf to be able to go into a final round on Sunday at the first major. But really I’m just going to do my thing and stick to my game plan and go out and enjoy my Sunday.
“I’m not out there to play Rory. I’m out there to play the golf course. The biggest thing I can pull from Hazeltine is I was going head to head with Rory and was able to put together a really good round, and when he tried to make a counter, I was able to always stay ahead and keep going.”
