Martin Dempster reports from Augusta.

00:00 Hello, it's Martin Dempster, the Scotsman Golf Correspondent here, coming to you from

00:06 Augusta, Georgia. And all I can say is wow, because what a final two hours we had this

00:16 afternoon in the third round of the 88th Masters. At the end of it, world number one and 22

00:26 winner, Scotty Scheffler, is the man out in front. He leads on seven under par. He started

00:33 the back nine with a double bogey and at that stage had fallen behind his playing partner,

00:39 the young Dane, Nikolaj Hozard. However, Scheffler made an eagle at the 13th and he celebrated

00:47 with a triple fist bump. And it's not often you see that from Scotty Scheffler. He then

00:54 also finished with a birdie and that nudged him ahead of the 2021 Open champion, Colin

01:03 Murakawa. He's discovered his major mojo this week. He's certainly a danger going into that

01:10 final round. This is Max Homer, the American. He's two shots behind Scheffler. And then

01:17 also in the mix is the young Swede, Ludvig Eberg, who believe it or not, is making his

01:24 major debut this week. Not just his Masters debut, his major debut. And the player who's

01:30 taken the game by storm since joining the professional ranks is in the mix going into

01:36 the last day. Bryson Dechambault, he had a bit of a wobble late on. He took a double

01:42 bogey seven at the 15th, par five, 15th. But then holed out from about 77 yards for a birdie

01:54 at the last. That'll give him a lift. He's still in the mix. What a final day lies ahead

02:00 tomorrow. Unfortunately, five time winner, Tiger Woods, he had an 82 today. That's his

02:07 worst score ever in 99 rounds in the Masters. But very, very exciting last day ahead. To
