Australia’s best hope, Cam Davis, is clinging to the dream of a final-round rally after coming unstuck on a dramatic moving day at Augusta National, while Tiger Woods shot the worst round of his major championship career.
Scottie Scheffler birdied his final hole to emerge from a packed leaderboard and grab a one-shot lead over Collin Morikawa after the third round of the Masters while Tiger Woods shot the worst round of his major championship career.
Australia’s big halfway hope leaked the four shots in the first four holes of a horror start to the back nine. After collecting his only birdie on the third, the 2022 British Open champion reeled off 14 consecutive pars before closing out his frustrating round with a bogey on the last.“The way that the golf course is playing, I feel really confident with my ball striking – probably the best I’ve felt in a while.“Just got to keep grinding it out.”
But he joined Morikawa atop the leaderboard with a 31-foot eagle putt at the par-five 13th where his approach shot looked ready to settle some 10 feet from the hole before it suddenly gathered speed rolled away. “Just hit the ball in all the places that I know I shouldn’t hit it,” said Woods. “And I missed a lot of putts. Easy, makable putts. I missed a lot of them.”
