2230: Donald and Woods both par the 12th. Time is running out for any would-be challengers to Woods' inexorable march to a 12th major title to make themselves known.

2220: Shaun Micheel chips in from the back fringe of the short 13th to bounce straight back to 13 under. Adam Scott misses his par putt on 16, but Ian Poulter birdies 14.

Meanwhile, Lee Westwood hangs in there to finish with a birdie and 73 for three under.

2125: Woods chips out sideways from the rough, fires a fairway wood into 20 feet on the long 7th and two-putts for par. Donald's third just trickles into the back fringe and he takes two to get down for another par, though the chance was there to get something back on Woods.

2105: Luke Donald cannot find a fairway but manages to blast the ball onto the green on the 6th and is agonisingly close with his 20 foot birdie putt. Tiger Woods, from virtually the same spot, inevitably holes his to reach 17 under.

2053: Tiger Woods is playing his role to perfection as the indomitable champion with a birdie on the long 5th. His playing partner Luke Donald leaves himself a bit to do with his birdie putt and the wobbling Englishman duly misses for a lacklustre par.

Up on the 6th green, Mike Weir just misses a chance to get to 15 under.

2040: Adam Scott picks up his fifth bogey on the 9th to go out in 31 and reach 12 under. Meanwhile, Ian Poulter duffs a shot nestling deep in the rough and makes bogey on the long 7th to fall back to eight under.

1920: Davis Love, needing to finish eighth to secure a Ryder Cup spot, drops two early shots but makes amends on the 5th for four under.

1910: We have new on-course leaders. American Woody Austin and Australia's world number six Adam Scott birdie the 1st to reach eight under.

Meanwhile, European rankings leader David Howell is enduring a nightmare on the back nine. The Englishman birdied the 10th but dropped a shot at 11 and then double-bogeyed 13 and 15.

1903: American Steve Stricker pars the 1st to stay seven under with on-course leaders Riley and Stenson.

1855: Chris Riley edges to seven under with a birdie on the 5th as Swede Henrik Stenson gets under way in his final round with a par at the 1st to stay seven under.

1840: American Chris Riley joins Clark and Jim Furyk at six under with birdies on the 3rd and 4th. Ernie Els also picks up a shot at the 7th for four under, alongside Chad Campbell who ends with a 66.

Spain's Miguel Angel Jimenez is also in, but he amassed a 78 for eight over.

1826: South African Tim Clark joins Jim Furyk at six under with a birdie at the 8th, his fourth for the day.

1728: Chad Campbell and Dean Wilson remain five under for the round - three under for the tournament - after 12 and 11 holes respectively.

1715: Miguel Angel Jimenez's Ryder Cup hopes are spiralling down the pan with three straight bogeys from the 9th to drop back to five over. He is a long way back in the qualifying rankings and despite making the cut, his performance is unlikely to interest European captain Ian Woosnam for one of his two wildcards.

1655: Jose Maria Olazabal double bogeyed the 1st but gets a shot back at the 5th and is now level for the championship. Olazabal's place in the Ryder Cup is under threat as Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia and Henrik Stenson are likely to overtake him in the standings.

1650: Dean Wilson follows Chad Campbell with a par at the 9th as both scorch to the turn in 31, but David Howell bogeys the 4th to move to two over for the round and one over for the championship.

1640: David Howell bogeys the 3rd to slip back to level par, but Dean Wilson is keeping pace with Chad Campbell by birdieing the 8th and joining him on three under.

1630: Chad Campbell is on fire. He makes it four straight birdies and six for the round with a two at the par-three 8th.

1610: Dean Wilson is another player on the move. Two birdies and an eagle in his first six holes move him to two under overall.

1601: Chad Campbell is having an eventful, and very good, round. He bogies the 4th, but then birdies the next three to move to four under for the round and two under overall.

1527: What a turnaround for Maggert, who makes it three in a row with a birdie at the 7th. It is a good hole for him, as he has claimed a shot here on three of the four days.

1519: Maggert is definitely having an entertaining start. He claims his second birdie in a row at the 6th while Chad Campbell moves to level par with two birdies in his opening three holes.

1504: Finally some joy for Maggert as he claims a shot at the 5th. A moment of relief for the American, who is bottom of the pile at present on eight over.

1450: Australian Appleby, winner of two events on the PGA Tour in 2006, is at it again with a birdie at the 5th to move to three over. Maggert is going the other way however, and is four over for the day after a double-bogey six at the 4th.

1431: Maggert on the other hand is struggling and drops another shot at the par-three 2nd.

1428: Appleby continues his fine start with another birdie at the 3rd, his second of the day and is now on four over.

1422: Jeff Maggert, who won the St Jude Classic in May, had an eagle at the 1st in round three but is unable to repeat the feat and this time drops a shot.

1411: The first pair of the day complete the opening hole and have differing fortunes. Stuart Appleby starts with a birdie three while Jim Kane slips to seven over after a bogey.
