Masters Leaderboard 2014: Twitter Reacts to Day 3 Results and Standings
Those who hate fun aren't going to enjoy what's in store for Sunday at the Masters.
Bubba Watson's two-over 74 on Moving Day erased his sizable lead atop the leaderboard, allowing Masters rookie Jordan Spieth to move into a tie for first.
With seven more players within three strokes of the leaders, there is drama, excitement and undoubtedly history in store at Augusta National.

Here's a look at the leaderboard after Saturday's action:
Watson, who is looking to win for the second time in three years, struggled with his putter on Saturday. He had multiple three-puts on the afternoon, which as the Golf Channel's Kelly Tilghman noted, was quite uncharacteristic of the 35-year-old:
He was able to knock down a key par putt on 18 to maintain a portion of the lead, but the man he now shares the top of the leaderboard with was the real story of the day.
Spieth, who notched his third-straight round under par (70), is looking to become the youngest Masters winner ever. PGATour.com's Brian Wacker made the comparison that will be on everyone's mind in the next 24 hours:
ESPN's Justin Ray added a truly amazing stat, and noted some more potential history for the kid who can't legally buy a beer to celebrate if he wins:
It seems like pressure of that magnitude would be impossible for someone his age to deal with, but Spieth has had the look of a seasoned veteran.
He talked about the importance of the mental game, via Tilghman:
Teeing off before Watson and Spieth on Sunday will be another extremely intriguing tandem: Matt Kuchar and Jonas Blixt.
"Kuch" has two consecutive top-10 finishes at the Masters and will be coming off the best round of his career, per ESPN Stats & Info:
Blixt, the only non-American in the final two pairings, joins Spieth as a Masters newbie. If history is any indication, he and Kuchar may be the ones to watch on Sunday, per Ray:
Of course, the third pairing will feature a couple of players who carded the two best rounds of the tournament on Saturday.
Miguel Angel Jimenez poured in five birdies on the back nine to finish with a tournament-low 66. CBS Sports' Eye on Golf Twitter feed noted the prestigious company he now keeps:
The 50-year-old, perhaps better known for his long hair and pre-round cigars, jumped more than 30 spots on the day and now sits in a tie for fifth place, just two strokes off the lead.
He'll be joined by Rickie Fowler, who entered the clubhouse Saturday with an impressive five-under 67.
As Golf Digest's Twitter feed noted, it was the best round of the youngster's career at Augusta:
Tiger Woods may be sidelined and Phil Mickelson may have missed the cut, but it would be difficult to write up a script with a more captivating leaderboard or more potential storylines after three rounds.
Yahoo! Sports' Shane Bacon adds another one concerning Masters mainstay and 54-year-old Fred Couples:
Tilghman put it simply, while Ray noted just how wide-open the field remains:
Jim Furyk and Lee Westwood, the players in their 40s in Tilghman's example, are now "only" tied for seventh, but the fact still remains.
Golf is great, and that will never be more apparent than on Sunday at Augusta National.
