Luke Donald closes day three in Augusta on five over as his chances of winning the Masters appear to be coming to an end.

World number one Luke Donald's hopes of securing the first major of his career appear to be over following his performance on day three in Augusta.

The Englishman, who only just made the cut on four-over, started the day brightly with a birdie and an eagle on the third and fourth holes respectively.

His performance on the front nine saw him record a two under 34 as the 34-year-old looked to be playing himself into contention.

However, his back nine display produced three bogeys and one double bogey, taking him to five-over for the tournament.

As it stands, Donald is not currently in the top 50.

Hunter Mahan and Padraig Harrington currently share the clubhouse lead on four-under.
