Should be a fun Sunday !!



Scheffler, playing his first tournament as the world’s No. 1-ranked player, posted a 1-under-par 71 on Saturday to get to 9-under 207 overall, but he watched his lead shrink to three shots at the third round at Augusta, GA.

Smith, the Australian who rocks a mullet under his cap, shot a 4-under 68 for the low round of the day on a chilly afternoon with few low scores. He took control of second place at 6 under and moved within striking distance of the lead.

Both Scheffler and Smith are aiming for their first career major title. Smith is coming off a victory at the Players Championship last month, while Scheffler has been on a meteoric rise after starting 2022 without a PGA Tour win to his name. He has won three tournaments in his past five starts and now has his sights on the biggest victory yet.

Rory played a hell of a round today. Best all week.

Great for Scheffler though. Holding on after slipping a little isn't easy at Augusta. #1 ranked in the world and proved it on the biggest stage

Scottie played too good all week to go out with a 4 putt. That was ugly but somehow it was a perfect ending to a dud of a Sunday. El Tigre officially committing to playing The Open. A much easier course to walk..
