And then he commits the ultimate sin at Augusta.

That is a great recovery shot

wtf Haotong!?!?!?!

This is riveting at the moment

After today's events, all of the top 12 will be thinking they're a chance tomorrow.

Young definitely has the momentum but would almost be wishing this was day 4.

He was +4 after the first 7 holes on day 1!

Lowry's had an eventful day.

4 birdies, 2 bogeys and a hole in 1.

Do they always put the pins in the same place for the last round I mean the same as every other year?

Pretty much - but with a few variations. Think it was 16 last year that they put in a funky spot high right instead of closer to the drink to commemorate some previous bit of history. But generally, the Sunday pins are in same spots

Grandstand finish

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Gonna be an all time final round.

Anyone within six of the lead is a chance.

I reckon -13 wins it.

I reckon Cam Young is going to run away with it. He’s -15 over his last 47 holes. He and Rory are headed in opposite directions. Young’s rounds, 73, 67, 65. Rory is the same in reverse.

Whatever has been happening with his misses, it’s unlikely he fixed it in a range session after the round.

Also not ruling out Scheffler posting some early magic to put himself right in it.

Going to be awesome no matter what happens.

If Rory doesn’t win tomorrow, I hope(but don’t believe) that people don’t start calling this a choke job. Simply put Rory was riding his luck the first two days with unbelievable saves from bad positions. Today, he had to pay the piper.

I don’t think anyone can call it a choke job anymore, he did the grand slam.

Cameron Young could have had a generational round, so many tap in putts that could have fallen in one.

Also think Young runs away with it from here.

 

[FreoRicci]

Is US Masters becoming a bit too easy for some?

I mean 12 under, 6 ahead should comfortably win most majors.

Suddenly a score of 15-18 under is needed to be clear winner IMO.

Don’t think -13 is enough.

Rory didn’t do so bad up to this point. But gee -11 after 3 rounds is still damn good. Exact same score end of Round 3 last year (Bryson DeChambeau second on -10)

US Masters always has been about generational runs, IMO.

Least the galleries are getting creative. Yelling out “Give me back my son”

Scores to par are meaningless imo. Given no rain, the Green Jackets could do whatever they wanted to the course. Today they set it up for scoring.

Far more important than a score to par is how the course separates the field. The leaderboard is all class(maybe Hoatong’s top into the water says different!). The best players in the world have put themselves above the rest.

I think Sam Burns wins

Cannot wait

rory was -12 after three last year and the winning score was -11 + playoff. leaders don't tend to streak off these days. sunday the course is tricked up and there's pressure everywhere.
