Major maidens card 65s
Rickie Fowler and Jon Rahm carded rounds of 65 on a low-scoring day at Augusta National, before Rory McIlroy matched them shortly afterwards.
While McIlroy goes for a career grand slam on Sunday, for Fowler and Rahm the search for a first major is on.
Late blemish costs Fleetwood
After coping brilliantly with the unique challenge of teeing off alongside Tiger Woods for the first two rounds, Tommy Fleetwood enjoyed his freedom as he carded a Saturday 66.
The Englishman was on course to shoot 65 until a three-putt bogey at the last and was frustrated not to go even lower on a day of opportunity at Augusta.
Still, he'll head into the final round of his second Masters appearance in a share of sixth place.
Phil the thrill up to old tricks
An air shot triple-bogey at the first, a driver-of-the-deck eagle at the eighth.
Yes, it can only be Phil Mickelson, who provided much of Saturday's early entertainment before the leaders took over.
Woods set for rankings boost
Tiger Woods failed to make the move he was looking for on Saturday, but a level-par 72 saw him outscore Ian Poulter in their two-ball and end the day tied for 40th.
On Monday, Woods is set to return to the world's top 100 for the first time in a long time as his resurgence, while taking a step backwards this week, continues.
Casey copes with hip problem
Paul Casey overcame a hip injury to card a third round of 69 in the Masters and avoid another date with Jeff Knox.
The odd number of players making the cut meant Paul Casey played alongside marker and Augusta National member Knox, who famously outscored Rory McIlroy in the same situation in 2014.
And although a birdie on the 11th showed what Knox is capable of, Casey avoided McIlroy's fate thanks to a 69 completed in style with a tap-in birdie on the 18th.
Fitzpatrick shows what can be done
England's Matthew Fitzpatrick made the big early move on day three of the Masters, a third-round 67 returning him to level par.
Fitzpatrick burst through the pack to finish seventh on his professional Augusta debut two years ago, having missed the cut by a single stroke as an amateur, and his scoring prowess was again on display.
