Justin Rose and Sergio Garcia will take a one-shot lead into the final round of The Masters. Both men lie on -6, with Rickie Fowler leading the chasing pack on -5.
Rose, who started the day three off the lead, set the clubhouse lead for Garcia to match after an excellent back-nine around Augusta. The former US Open winner, and Olympic gold medallist recorded birdies on his final two holes, in a back-nine of -5, to book his spot in Sunday's final group. His 67 was the best round of the day.
Garcia, who started the third round in a four-way tie for the lead on -4, had a steady day around Augusta, as others falted. Missing numerous birdie chances on the front nine, the Spaniard shot four birdies and two bogeys to maintain his spot at the top of the leaderboard.
Rickie Fowler leads the chasing pack on -5. The popular American shot four birdies and three bogeys for a 71, and sole third place.
