Might be good for Charley. Only chance he has at winning is coming from behind and being out of the spotlight. Ask Smylie Kauffman.

For those following along, Smylie played with Jordan last year in the final pairing.  He shot an 81.  But he did birdie #12 that day, which Jordan ... didn't.

Clever use of the hybrid from off the green by Sergio; always an underrated option.

Charley has to par out.

[Scotsclaff]

Great up and down Sergio.

I've never seen a hybrid used that way before this tournament, seen it twice already. Adding that to my tiny bag of tricks.

Todd Hamilton used it to great effect in the 2004 British Open.

I'll look that up! I've only been watching for a year or so.

Sorry, didn't mean to imply you should remember it.  It was before I watched too!  Wanted to give you another use of it (in a different scenario) to help.

AT&T subscriber; they have a special multiview channel for the Masters. (I think DirecTV has the same thing.)

Some lotion from Bath & Body Works, a box of tissue and golf porn on the big screen...now that's a good Saturday afternoon!  

[Hazsa]

Haven't seen Sergio look so comfortable with the putter for a long time. Really hope he can do it, but a part of me thinks he'll just crumble like so many times before...

[jamo]

Pretty darn good looking leaderboard.

[Scotsclaff]

Last two groups tomorrow.

Sergio/Rosie

Spieth/Rickie.

Can't wait.

Just wondering if they would rather swap pairings or does it matter??/

That bag is actually full of old family photos my grandparents brought the last time they visited.

[BallStriker]

Bought some Speith at +500 and Scott at +1800 first thing this morning....pulling for those two obviously

[Scotsclaff]

Jeezus!

Why did he have to say "Hollywood"pairings.He just made himself a bigger asshole than he already is.

Good to see David Duval turn his head away.

I'm thinking 8-under is going to be good enough to win. That would mean Charl Schwartzel, at 2-under, would have to shoot a 66 to take it tomorrow; lucky for him, he's done that before.

Anyone in the final four pairings has a reasonable chance.

[Jack Watson]

Wonder how the pins will be set tomorrow...

It's gonna be the best round of the year to watch I bet!

I think Jordan will get to -8 at least.

[Jack Watson]

Sergio is susceptible to strange mistakes more than Rose.  Jordan will play a couple from tough positions it's all about how he scrambles.  He will hit a couple tight approaches.

Rickie needs to hit it better.  His putting been good.  If he finds his swing he might have a say but I dunno if he can do it.

As always I think it's coming down the stretch on the back.  Whoever makes a move there may triumph.

I am hoping for a playoff.
