As the third round of the Masters commenced on Saturday, players were greeted with a stark contrast to the challenging weather conditions they faced earlier in the tournament. The wind had subsided, flags were gently flapping, and the stage was set for a day more conducive to scoring and strategic play.
Leading the pack were Scottie Scheffler, Bryson DeChambeau, and Max Homa, all tied at 6-under 138. Nicolai Hojgaard of Denmark trailed closely, eyeing the opportunity to become the first player since Fuzzy Zoeller in 1979 to win the Masters on his debut.
