Masters Leaderboard 2018: Updates on Golf's Top Scorers on Saturday

Patrick Reed sports a slim lead heading into moving day at the 2018 Masters, as the American will start his round on Saturday with a two-stroke advantage.

Reed is nine under through two rounds, bettering Marc Leishman, who sits in second place at seven under. Henrik Stenson is five under, sitting one spot ahead of the duo of Jordan Spieth and Rory McIlroy.

Reed on the Charge

Reed carded a fantastic round of six-under golf on Friday to put himself into the lead.

The 27-year-old, who hasn't won a PGA Tour event since 2016, had no less than six birdies on the front nine, and a run of three straight on the back nine offset bogeys on the 10th and 16th holes.

As shared by golf writer Jason Sobel, Reed should feel comfortable at Augusta:

Reed's approaches have been on point so far, and he dealt with the tricky winds that plagued Friday's proceedings well. Per Mike McAllister of the PGA Tour's official website, the weather is expected to take a turn for the worse, so he'll have to stay vigilant on Saturday.

He told reporters he doesn't mind a bit of rain, however, per McAllister: "I'm from Texas. It blows 40 and rains every day, it seems like. I'd say I like it when it's challenging."

Stenson, Spieth and McIlroy in Touching Distance

While Reed sports a solid lead over the trio of Stenson (at five under), Spieth and McIlroy (both at four under), their experience on the biggest stage and wins in majors in the past will likely have cameramen following their every move on Saturday.

Stenson and McIlroy will play their third round together, while Spieth will partner with Dustin Johnson.

Here's a look at the win probability breakdown, with Johnson not far behind the three:

Stenson finally got over the hump in 2016 by winning the Open Championship, killing the narrative he didn't have what it takes to close the deal in majors. Spieth is already a Masters champion and has traditionally done well at Augusta, while McIlroy has won every major, with the exception of the Masters.

Reed and Leishman will have enough pressure on them as it is, but with the weather expected to worsen and these top contenders right on their tails―not to mention Justin Thomas, Justin Rose and Rickie Fowler, who are all tied for eighth place or better―they'll face a massive challenge on Saturday.
