England's Rose and Spaniard Garcia finished one shot ahead of American Rickie Fowler and two clear of a group including 2015 Masters champion Spieth, who put together a fine four-under 68 to soar into contention. Rose, the 2013 US Open champion, conjured up seven birdies, including two at the last two holes, in a day's best round of 67. Spieth put himself in position to continue his extraordinary record at the Masters, which he won in 2015 and finished tied second in 2014 and 2016. It was a miserable day for four-times major champion Ernie Els, who was seeking his first Masters title at the age of 47.
