Scottie Scheffler holds a one-shot lead into Sunday at The Masters, with Collin Morikawa, Max Home and Ludvig Aberg all hot on his heels and chasing the green jacket at Augusta National.
It promises to be a fantastic final day of action, with the likes of Bryson DeChambeau and Xander Schauffele not entirely out of the running either, though needing a strong run of form with no room for mistakes. Aberg in particular is hoping to push his case to be a first-ever debutant victor at the Masters, following on from his exploits at the Ryder Cup.
It’s Scheffler, though, after a third-round 71 put him seven under par, who leads the way and who will be man to catch as he chases his second Masters title. Rory McIlroy couldn’t haul himself back among the contenders on Saturday, while Tiger Woods made a record-breaking 24th consecutive cut at the tournament, only to then suffer a torrid day yesterday, clocking a round of ten over.

Smith lurking with intent
1855: Byeong Hun An (-1), Cameron Smith (-1)
Former Open champion Cam Smith has not quite caught fire this week and remains six off it heading into the final round.
The Australian stormed through the field at Sta Andrews in 2022 to claim the Claret Jug and while need an equally impressive display if he is going to spoil the party here at Augusta.

Triply bogey for Woods
The 15-time Major champion is now propping up the bottom of the leaderboard after an out-out-bounds drive on the 5th hole leads to a costly triple-bogey seven.
That’s compounded by a bogey at the par-3 sixth and he now finds himself at +15 for the tournament.

Greg Norman thanks patrons for Masters support
Greg Norman, the commissioner for the Saudi-backed LIV Golf, was a surprise sighting on the grounds at Augusta National this week after he was denied an invite by the tournament.
The Australian, who finished runner-up on three occasions, bought a ticket to be there this week and thanked fans for their support.

Fleetwood searching for a hot putter
1845: Cameron Young (-1), Tommy Fleetwood (-1)
Young and Fleetwood are the final pairing who will begin the fourth round under par and six shots back of leader Scottie Scheffler.
Both fired level-par 72s on Saturday but Fleetwood, in particular, should have been a few shots better off. The Englishman’s ball striking got him in all the right spots on Saturday but endured an ice-cold day with putter in hand.
At last year’s US Open, he shot a final-round 63 to shoot up the leaderboard – he’ll need something similar today to even stand a chance.

Collin Morikawa ‘feeling comfortable’ ahead of facing Scheffler challenge
A resurgent Collin Morikawa stands as Scottie Scheffler’s biggest challenge on the final round of the Masters. The supremely accurate American is a two-time major champion having won the 2020 PGA and 2021 Open, and believes he is finding form again.
“Felt like old times, and nice to have that in the bag again,” said Morikawa. “Missed a few out there today but everything still feels comfortable. That’s the biggest thing, feeling comfortable going into tomorrow.
“If you asked me at the beginning of the week I’d be one back heading into Sunday, I would have taken that any time,” Morikawa said. “You give yourself a chance with 18 holes left, that’s all you can really do.”

Topsy-turvy start for Woods
Tiger is underway early on Sunday and took care of the par-five second to make birdie, but a misjudged chip into the third green saw the ball come rolling back to his feet.
A bogey five and he’s back to +11 for the tournament.

Sunday pin positions
Plenty of the classic pin positions on Sunday so some chances for birdies out there if the chasers can use the slopes on these undulating Augusta greens.

Tiger Woods underway on final round of Masters
There it is. Tiger Woods in final-day red on Masters Sunday.

The fairways are packed as Woods takes to the course for the last time this week, looking to improve on his difficult round of 82 yesterday. The five-time Masters champion will have plenty of support, that’s for sure.

Scheffler in ‘familiar position’ ahead of Masters Sunday
Scottie Scheffler on leading the Masters ahead of the final round, bolstered by his 2022 title and strong form coming into the Augusta National.
“It’s nice to have that experience, but going into tomorrow, that’s really all that it is. And I can reflect on some of that stuff from that round, and this is a position I’m very familiar with. I’m excited for the challenge of going and trying to win the golf tournament tomorrow.”
