Good morning – golf fans and all others
Hello and good morning.
Get set for a ripping morning of golf as we share all the action from Augusta National with you.
My name is Peter Ryan, and I’ll take you through the final-round action with a stack of contenders in the mix to take home the green jacket.
Rory McIlroy left an opening at Augusta and several other players charged back into contention in the third round, setting up a potentially pulsating Sunday finish at Augusta National, where McIlroy and Cameron Young share the lead after three holes on the final day.
Scottie Scheffler is lurking just three shots from McIlroy and Young alongside last year’s runner-up Justin Rose and America’s Russell Henley.
Jason Day’s funky outfits cause waves at the straight-laced Masters. Wait until you see his plan for Sunday
Fashion label founder Stephen Malbon says social media outrage in recent years over Australian Jason Day’s chic and edgy outfits at the Masters misrepresent the collaborative attitude he has towards Augusta National’s approval process.
“It’s their house, their rules,” Malbon told this masthead on Wednesday. “We’re just happy to participate.”
Former world No.1 and 2015 PGA Championship winner Day signed as a Malbon Golf ambassador in 2024. The fast-growing apparel company was founded by Stephen and his wife Erica in Los Angeles in 2017.
It has become revered – and at times criticised – for pushing the boundaries of golf fashion by incorporating baggy pants, colourful prints, bucket hats, and vintage sweaters among its collections.
