The great British Masters revival will continue with a capacity crowd for Saturday's third round at Hillside and an Englishman leading the way who's leaving no stone unturned in his bid to reach the top.

Matt Wallace has just added a new member to his team in fitness coach Steve McGregor, who transformed Rory McIlroy from a pudgy teenager with back problems into a prime athlete who reached world No 1. 

The only other golfer McGregor has worked with was Lee Westwood, who also made it to the summit, so Wallace has got some standard to match.
