Sunny with a chance of birdies (maybe)

Well it's good news for Rahm today then! After his moan about the winds yesterday the Spaniard will be pleased to wake up to a forecast of 'gentle breeze.'

I can't promise that the greens of Augusta National will be playing any easier though as the surfaces will be a hard as they come after baking under full sun and 25C/77F temperatures.

Jon Rahm moans that play should have been suspended

Defending champion Jon Rahm just about avoided the embarrassment of missing the cut on his title defense but the Spaniard still had a moan about the weather conditions at Augusta yesterday.

He hit out at organizers of The Masters for their refusal to suspend play as 40mph winds caused chaos during Friday's second round.

It's about as hard a golf course as I've seen in a very long time.

A couple of times I was questioning myself why we were out there. Especially when I got to 18 and saw the whole front of the green just full of sand. It's rolling a little bit different.

I understand they want us to finish. I can imagine they were very close to calling it a few times, especially when we were on the 11th green and we were getting those massive gusts every couple of minutes or so. It was extremely difficult.

Welcome to Day Three

It's moving day at Augusta National and you know what that means - we're in for a whole lot of action!

Augusta claimed a lot of victims yesterday - Justin Thomas, Sergio Garcia, Wyndham Clark, Viktor Hovland, Jordan Spieth, Dustin Johnson - but not the Big Cat.

That's right, Tiger Woods made his 24th consecutive cut at The Masters. That's a record, if you hadn't heard.

He's seven shots of leaders Scottie Scheffler, Max Homa and Bryson DeChambeau with the hunting pack hot on their heels. So, will anyone chase them down today?

Stay tunes as we bring you all the action from Day Three of The Masters.
