He would have hoped to better his score on the par five, but hard to sink an eight-footer to hold par. Sebastian Munoz, meanwhile, birdied the hole to move to six-under on his own.
Bryson back to three-under, Rahm one better
Bryson DeChambeau has made two birdies to get back to 3-under while Rahm has moved to 4-under and a share of eighth.
Garcia gets back to seven-under
A fine approach gives him a four-foot putt which he puts away. With Tyrell hatton and Graeme McDowell both bogeying, he is now two clear of third place.
How’s your luck…Leishman misses par putt
A similar length putt for Herbert but he leaves his just to the right of the hole. He then misses the next as well so moves down to five-under. Herbert is now three up.
Herbert with fine putt to save par
After going into a bunker he left himself a 15 footer to save par, but he puts it away.
Garcia drops back to 6-under
His 12-foot par putt stops agonisingly short of the hole.
Detry has two early birdies
Two in the first three holes for the Belgian, with a par on the par-five sixth in-between.
Herbert misses eagle putt
He made a three on the par-five second yesterday and after a fantastic fairway wood had a chance to do so again, but his putt stayed just right of the hole. It does put himself two clear of Garcia – and Leishman, who also birdied the second.
Garcia with birdie on second
After escaping with a par on the first, he makes a four on the second hole and is now just one behind Herbert.
Two boys in two for Bryson!
Yesterday it was two in three. Today he has started even worse, as he misses another makeable putt to take a five on the par-four fourth.
McDowell begins with a birdie
A fine second shot at the first leaves himself a six-foot putt which he slots away to join those on six-under. Garcia got up and down for a par.
Bryson bogeys his first again
This time he starts on the 11th but it is the same result as yesterday. He slides a 10-foot par putt wide of the mark.
Garcia lands his second on the green…
But it runs off and into thick grass nearby. No gimme to get his par from there.
We are underway…
Sergio Garcia hit his first drive a mile wide of the fairway. So far left he may have a good lie.
We are five minutes away
The Shotgun start begins at five past the hour.
