• Four to battle it out – bookies

    Francesco Molinari at The Masters
    The man to beat

    The bookmakers have reduced the contenders to win the 2019 Masters Tournament down to four players with their latest odds.

    ROUND 4 TEE TIMES

    READ: Harding’s take on Saturday 70

    Betcoza have bunched the final grouping and added Brooks Koepka, three back after a Saturday 69, as the four world stars set to challenge for the Green Jacket.

    Molinari set the 54-hole tally at -13 with Tiger Woods and Tony Finau closest at two back.

    There may be as many as 10 players – including Dustin Johnson, Louis Oosthuizen and Ian Poulter, within five shots of the lead but only four players have odds inside 24-1.

    Francesco Molinari @ 1.75/1

    Without a bogey since Thursday’s 11th hole, is the man to beat as the enters with a two-shot lead.

    Tiger Woods @ 3.5-1

    The four-time Green Jacket winner is looking for his first win here since 2014 and sent the crowd into overdrive with his play down the back nine on Saturday.

    Brooks Koepka @ 6-1

    Missed a good chance on 18 to join Finau and Woods at -11. Current holder of two Majors is chasing his own Brooks-slam. ‘I’m pretty comfortable being up there on the leaderboard in a major come Sunday,’ Koepka said. ‘So I enjoy it. It’s fun. Getting definitely more comfortable with it as every major goes by. But I feel good and I like my chances (Sunday).’

    Tony Finau @ 6.5-1

    Not overawed by the size of the task, the American rattled off a number of birdies en route to a 64 which had him on top for much of the third round.

    He will now attempt play alongside and beat his idol Tiger Woods. ‘He is a huge, huge inspiration and influence on me, and that ’97 Masters meant a lot. It was the first golf tournament I ever watched.’

    Sunday’s final round is a long time coming. ‘Something I’ve dreamed of for a long time,’ he said.

    Best of the rest:

    World No 2 Dustin Johnson is backed at 25-1 as is Ian Poulter, who shot 68 playing in the same pair as Tiger on Saturday.

    Louis Oosthuizen battled through a frustrating round and is now five back. He is given 40-1 odds with Justin Harding, also at -8, priced at 100-1
