[We were staying in a Premier Inn with no Sky Sports on the TV, so I had to wait to see the highlights on Monday morning. Great achievement, but I feel a bit for Justin Rose, who has now just missed twice in the Masters.]

I am finished but the parsing of 22d eludes me.

Father as a verb, first letter removed

Thanks jono, got fixated on PA for father!

Terrific effort from Vlad. Sometimes he's incredibly tough but this is medium I'd say. About a quarter to go. Is 20d a proper name or a foreign mp? I'm struggling to parse it if it is.

Hi rocky

Neither, I’m afraid Rocky.
It’s a bit a of an old chestnut…

… you need to include “as” in the definition to make it grammatically correct.

Oh....of course it is. I always forget that meaning. Thanks all.
