Spain's Sergio Garcia has a two-shot lead early into the final round of the 2017 Masters tournament at Augusta.

Garcia, who started the final round in a share of the lead at six-under, has opened his day with birdies and the first hole and the third to move to eight-under.

Garcia is aiming to win his first major title after finishing second four different times in his career.

American Rickie Fowler and England's Justin Rose sit two shots back at six-under with first round leader Charley Hoffman a further shot back.
