Masters Standings 2013: Complete Overview of the Leaderboard Prior to Day 4
The leaderboard is extremely close at Augusta heading into the final day of play. Five shots separate 13 players with Brandt Snedeker and Angel Cabrera tied for the lead at seven under.
Tiger Woods began the day taking a two-shot penalty for an illegal drop on Friday. He bounced back well with a two-under 70 on Saturday. He is just four shots behind the leaders at three under.
Here is a look at the real-time leaders:

Players Primed to Remain in Contention
Tiger Woods
Woods will have his best day on Sunday. He has scrambled well throughout the tournament. Bad luck and the penalty negated a strong day on Friday.
More than anything, I'm impressed with Tiger's resolve. That quality will keep him in the mix, and I think will lead him to his 15th major championship.
Adam Scott
The Aussie has buckled under the pressure of the final round in a major before. I don't anticipate another epic collapse like the one he suffered in the Open championship, though.
He'll stay in contention, but he'll be human enough to allow Tiger to catch him. I'm predicting another second-place finish for Scott.
Jason Day
Day is playing entirely too well to fade altogether. He must be wary of the par fours on the back nine. He struggled on the 18th hole on Thursday and Saturday.
I have a feeling the 12th and 18th hole will cost him a chance to win his first major.
Brandt Snedeker
The co-leader after three has been very consistent, but that's about to change. He hasn't produced a score higher than 70 through the first three rounds, but the front nine will give him issues on Sunday.
The fifth, seventh and ninth holes have been issues for him thus far, but he's been able to collect himself on the back nine. Snedeker has only one bogey on the second half of the course through three rounds.
Maintaining that type of play with the pressure of Sunday at Augusta is a different dynamic. He will show some give and that will be enough to knock him from the top spot.
Players Destined to Become Afterthoughts on Sunday
Marc Leishman
The neck of Leishman's golf shirt will get very tight on Sunday. He's never felt the pressure of contending late in a major.
Leishman has only one win on the PGA tour and he's destined to fall by the wayside on Sunday.
He won't finish in the top 10.
Jim Furyk
Furyk's play has been on the decline since he began the tournament with a 69. He shot a 71 on Friday and a two-over 74 on Saturday.
I predict he'll have his worst day at the most inopportune time. Furyk hasn't had a top-three finish in a major since 2007. He's also never shot better than a 70 on the final day at Augusta.
He won't score better than 73 on Sunday, and that certainly won't cut it.
Angel Cabrera
The Argentinian flirted with disaster on Saturday. He had three bogeys and two of them came on par fives.
His intermediate game is sound, but his inaccuracy off the tee will cost him big time on Sunday. His driving accuracy is only 64.3 percent through the first three rounds.
A triple bogey here and a double bogey there will put too much pressure on him to recover. He'll fall way off the pace on Sunday.
Follow me for all things sports.
