making improving diversity in equestrianism their thing. there are writers that have fallen out of love with the sport, so by creating a community like this and having support systems, it will ensure that they continue progressing and inspiring the next generation. hello there, and welcome along to the programme. the delayed final round of the masters is under way after the postponement and chaos caused by the weather at augusta. it's brooks koepka who leads the way, with conditions much calmer as organisers look to conclude the tournament later. we can get the latest now from andy swiss, who's there for us. koepka leads but he's far from out of sight. that's right, gavin. brooks koepka at the momentjust that's right, gavin. brooks koepka at the moment just two that's right, gavin. brooks koepka at the momentjust two shots clear of the rest of the field, and we
6:33 pm
could be in for some finish later run because at the start of the day he was four shots clear, and we wondered whether it might be a bit of a victory procession, but that hasn't turned out to be the case. john run from spain narrowed the gap, down tojust john run from spain narrowed the gap, down to just one shot at one point this morning. at the end of the third round, brooks koepka two shots clear ofjohn ram, so ram still in it, and another player in contention, norway's victor copeland, who had a really good morning, five birdies in a row seeing him surge up the leaderboard, so he isjust three seeing him surge up the leaderboard, so he is just three shots seeing him surge up the leaderboard, so he isjust three shots behind brooks koepka, so he is in with a chance of potentially winning his first major title. as for the british challenge, justin rose is the best british player at the moment, but he is some eight shots behind, so barring something fairly miraculous, it's unlikely we will see a british winner at this year's
6:34 pm
masters. as i say, brooks koepka still very much the man to beat, but just two shots clear ofjohn ram. no tiger woods — he's had to withdraw. hejust managed he just managed to hejust managed to make he just managed to make the cut yesterday, but in the afternoon at the start of the third round, when the start of the third round, when the rain was at its worst, he was really struggling. you could see him hobbling around the course. remember, it's only two years since he had that career threatening car crash, and this morning before play started he issued a statement saying he was withdrawing from the rest of the tournament because of an aggravation of a foot problem, so thatis aggravation of a foot problem, so that is sad news for the masters. tiger woods had said before this tournament that he wasn't sure how many more masters he had left in him, so fingers crossed that he will be back here next year. they're playing catch—up today after those weather delays but we do expect it
6:35 pm
to finish today, don't we? yes, we do, gavin. we have had a lot of weather delays, is fair to say, over the last couple of days, especially yesterday afternoon, when they had to abandon the third round because of that deluge. they have managed to play catch up pretty successfully. as you can see, the weather was a lot better so they have managed to complete the third round. they are just starting their final rounds. the leaders will go out in around an hour to try to speed things up, sending the players out from both the first tee and the tenth tee, so that should also help. the weather is so much better than yesterday. there was quite a gusty wind which could make life interesting for the players but fingers crossed we should get the masters finished on time, so fair to say the organisers here will be breathing a sigh of relief. i’m say the organisers here will be breathing a sigh of relief. i'm sure the will. breathing a sigh of relief. i'm sure they will. thank _ breathing a sigh of relief. i'm sure they will. thank you _ breathing a sigh of relief. i'm sure they will. thank you very - breathing a sigh of relief. i'm sure they will. thank you very much, . they will. thank you very much, andy.

written press or wherever it may be, they listen and they read it and take it to heart, or they certainly bring it up again down the line. nigel, inevitably when you go into a job in football management, the reason you are going into it is because someone has lost theirs because someone has lost theirs because the team aren't doing very well, so you are starting off from a very difficult position. how do you find that, especially may be in this context with some of the managers taking over those clubs in the premier league at the minute? everyone has to buy into a common goal of, this is where we are and this is where we want to get to, so you need to know that this is the journey we will be on, there will be ups and downs, things will happen, but we know where we want to get to. this is the starting point. timeframe is the interesting part of that, because you know full well, as a football manager, you don't get a lot of time, do you? it is a football manager, you don't get a lot of time, do you?— lot of time, do you? it is a damn siaht lot of time, do you? it is a damn sight easier _ lot of time, do you? it is a damn sight easier going _ lot of time, do you? it is a damn sight easier going on _ lot of time, do you? it is a damn | sight easier going on somewhere lot of time, do you? it is a damn - sight easier going on somewhere when someone _ sight easier going on somewhere when someone has not done particularly well and _ someone has not done particularly well and they have lost the job
