The Masters 2019 leaderboard: Tiger Woods two back as Francesco Molinari takes lead into final round at Masters

Relive all the action from Augusta

The masters: Which golfer has won the most titles?

Francesco Molinari surged two shots clear at the top of The Masters leaderboard on Saturday to set up another final round showdown with Tiger Woods for a major title.

It has been an almost flawless Masters for Molinari, who has carded just a single bogey through three rounds. On Sunday, the Italian turned in another error-free effort in the third round, signing for a six-under 66 to top the leaderboard at 13-under.

Molinari, the first Italian to win a major with his victory at last year's British Open, will start in pole position to claim a Green Jacket to go along with his Claret Jug.

Joining him in the last group will be Woods, who also paired with the Italian in the final round at Carnoustie, after the American electrified Augusta National with a five-under 67 that put him on the brink of ending a 11-year majors drought.

The two major champions will be accompanied by Tony Finau, who matched Woods's 11-under total with a dazzling eight-under 64 that featured a Masters-record equalling front nine of six-under 30.

With the forecast calling for heavy rain and thunderstorms late on Sunday officials have decided to send golfers off in threesomes from both the first and 10th tees rather than traditional pairs in an attempt to get the final round completed and avoid a Monday finish to the year's first major.

Lurking one shot further back is twice U.S. Open champion Brooks Koepka, who scrapped his way to three-under 69 to trail Molinari by three.

Alex Noren and Billy Horschel are the next to start their rounds. Horschel in particular got off to a flying start yesterday before dropping shots on the back nine. A similar start today is required.

7pm. All eyes will be on this man. Is he back to his best?

Alex Noren (+4) makes the first non-par score of the day with a bogey on the first. Pepperell, playing on his own today, is flying through his round but without reward. He's still +3 thru 4.

[13 April 2019 14:58 · Michael Jones]

Zach Johnson (+2) and Takumi Kanaya (A) (+2) look to be enjoying their pairing together. They both birdie the second hole. 

Emiliano Grillo makes a bogey on the 3rd to join Noren at +4.

Some big names missed the cut when it was confirmed at +3. Former champions Danny Willett (2016), and Sergio Garcia (2017) both miss the weekend after bogeys at the last saw them finish on four over.

The par-three curse struck again as Matt Wallace, who won the tournament on Wednesday added a 77 to his opening 75 to bow out on eight over.

No player who has won the par-three contest has won the Masters in the same year.

And World No. 1 Justin Rose leaves Augusta early after a round of 73 left him on the wrong side of the cut line.

Johnson (+1) and Kanaya (A) (+1) continue their mutual good form with birdies on the third. Henrik Stenson and Haotong Li are the latest to get their rounds underway.

[13 April 2019 15:06 · Michael Jones]

Eddie Pepperell (+3) continues on his merry way, six holes down, six pars posted.

[13 April 2019 15:17 · Michael Jones]

Martin Kaymer (+2) gets in on the birdie action with a 4 at the second. Emiliano Grillo (+5) continues to struggle, he's just posted back-to-back bogeys on the third and fourth.

[13 April 2019 15:20 · Michael Jones]

Haotong Li finds the green with his second shot on the par-5 second. He's left himself a long putt to find the pin at the top left side of the green for eagle.

[13 April 2019 15:23 · Michael Jones]

Eddie Pepperell makes a blemish in the seventh, he takes a 5 and drops to +4.
