Masters 2012: Final-Round Pairings We Can't Wait to See

All eyes are going to be on Phil Mickelson and Peter Hanson when they are the last two men to tee off Sunday at the 2012 Masters. They certainly won't be the only group worth watching, though. 

This figures to be a spectacular finish. Hanson, at nine-under, has a one-stroke lead on Mickelson, and Lefty has a one-stroke lead on Louis Oosthuizen. In all, there are 18 golfers within seven shots of the lead.

Here are some pairings that are sure to excite onlookers (all times ET). 

11:30 a.m. Tiger Woods, Vijay Singh

At three-over par, and tied for 38th, Woods is well out of contention, but that doesn't mean he won't be fun to watch. 

After seemingly turning the corner on his comeback bid, Woods has been erratic. He has been a disaster off the tee, and it is getting to him. Woods has shown his anger with his bad tee shots, and even went as far to kick his club after his tee shot on No. 16 found the bunker. 

It will be fascinating to see if Tiger can put together a good round, and even more fascinating to see how he handles it if he continues to struggle. 

2:20 p.m. Matt Kuchar, Hunter Mahan

Look for this group to make some noise on Sunday. Kuchar is four strokes off the lead and Mahan is five.

This is a big deficit to make up in one round, but one of these guys will at least get close enough to make it interesting.

Kuchar has been close to winning a major for years now. He has the game, but he just hasn't put it together at the right time. He has been a model of consistency here, posting scores of 71-70-70. He is ready to go low. 

Mahan is another golfer ready to win a major. He has been amazing this year, and is coming off of a round of 68. With Mahan's ball striking, he can make up strokes in a hurry. Expect some fantastic golf out of this group. 

2:30 p.m. Bubba Watson, Louis Oosthuizen

Is Bubba Watson ever not worth watching? The guy can dominate or be humiliated by any course.

He pounds his drives to places no one else can touch. Typically, that is in the correct fairway, but occasionally it is in the woods, the wrong fairway, the wrong course, the wrong state, etc.

He has been true for this tournament, and he has the score to show for it. He is just three strokes back. He has the ability to make up three strokes in the blink of an eye if he is on. 

Oosthuizen is in even better shape. He is just two strokes back, and he is showing the unflappable consistency that helped him win the 2010 British Open. 

Oosthuizen is a crafty shot-maker. He has the ability to stick it close, to what is sure to be challenging Sunday pin positions. 

2:40 p.m. Phil Mickelson, Peter Hanson

They are the leaders! Of course we are going to look forward to them. It doesn't hurt that both of these guys dominated the course on Saturday, or that one of them is named Phil Mickelson.

It is going to be thrilling to watch how Hanson handles this stage and pressure. This is just his fourth major tournament and just his second major, and he will be playing with a guy that has won this event three times. 

Speaking of Mickelson, if you aren't looking forward to seeing how he follows up his back-nine 30, you probably aren't a golf fan. 

When Mickelson is playing like this, there isn't another golfer that will bring this much excitement. This was highlighted by his two spectacular flop shots on the back nine on Saturday. 

He may be the only golfer on the planet with the ability and guts to hit those shots. If he starts off strong on Sunday, this one could be over early.
