Masters 2017 Leaderboard: Live Look at Sunday Scores and Overall Predictions
The 2017 Masters is set up for a mouthwatering final day, as Sergio Garcia and Justin Rose share a one-shot lead over Rickie Fowler and sit two ahead of Jordan Spieth.
Garcia and Rose head into Sunday at six under par, with Fowler splitting the pair and a trio comprised of Spieth, Charley Hoffman and Ryan Moore, who sit on four under.
Bringing up the rear are 2013 champion Adam Scott and 2011 winner Charl Schwartzel.
You can follow the live leaderboard here, and read on for predictions about the players who could be set to win the green jacket this year:
Rose Fails to Keep Up
With the scores so tight at the top, there are plenty of candidates in contention to win the Masters.
Last year's champion, Danny Willett, failed to make the cut for the weekend but is eagerly anticipating the battle in the last round:
On Saturday, Rose put himself firmly in the mix, posting the best score of the day: a five-under 67.
The Masters shared the highlights of his round, which left him with a share of the lead:
A repeat performance could hand him his first green jacket, but it was the first time in this year's competition he carded a score better than a two-under, so it's a big ask for him to do it again, particularly given the added pressure of playing in the final pair.
Indeed, the Englishman has only posted a score lower than 70 on Day 4 at Augusta twice in his 11 appearances at the tournament, most recently in 2012.
On Sunday, he's likely to be surpassed by his rivals unless he improves on that.
Fowler Wins 1st Major
Like Garcia, Fowler is in the hunt for his first major title.
The American sits on five under overall heading into the final round, one shy of the Spaniard and Rose.
He only managed to card one under on Saturday, but the manner in which he managed to get below par led ESPN's Jason Sobel to believe he could be set for a strong finish:
While he could be forgiven for showing some tension ahead of one of the biggest final rounds of his career, he appears to be relaxed about the whole thing.
"It's going to be fun," he said after Saturday's round, per Golf Digest's Dave Kindred. "I'm looking forward to it. This is by far the best I've felt at a major."
He continued:
"I mean, just this week, how I feel physically, mentally. From how my game feels, how I feel just about life. I feel great on the golf course. It feels like I'm right where I'm supposed to be. It doesn't feel out of place. Yeah, I get nervous on some shots out there. You get nervous on the first tee. But I'm settling into rounds very well. I'm thinking clearly. I'm not rushing. Just, it feels good out there.
"
The 28-year-old's putting since a double bogey on his last hole on Thursday would back him up, as the European Tour demonstrated:
Perhaps more than any other player in this year's competition, Fowler has truly shone on the greens and that bodes well heading into the final day.
The last time he was in the final round at Augusta, he shot 67, the same score he posted on Friday.
Ultimately, the green jacket could go to any one of six or seven players on Sunday, such are the scores and the potential for movement, but Fowler has been in good shape this year—he has an excellent chance of winning his first major.
