MASTERS 19TH HOLE

THE BUZZ

Shootout Sunday could be a Masters for the ages, as numerous players have a shot at the green jacket:

• Jordan Spieth, 20, will begin the day in the final group and tied for the lead after shooting a 70, his third consecutive round under par. He could become the youngest Masters champion.
• Matt Kuchar, 35, climbed the leaderboard into a tie for third with a 68 and can be the first golfer from Georgia Tech to win since Larry Mize in 1987, at the tournament founded by Tech graduate Bobby Jones.
• Miguel Angel Jimenez, 50, made history by tying the record for the lowest score shot by a player 50 or older. His 66 matched Ben Hogan in 1967 and Fred Couples in 2010. Jimenez is in a tie for fifth.
• Bubba Watson, 35, scrambled to a 74, but the first UGA grad to win in Augusta remains tied for first and in position to become one of handful of players to claim a second green jacket over a three-year period.

ERROR ON MASTERS

It appeared Chris Kirk, of UGA and Atlanta, had shot a 2-under round. But the Masters had made a scoring error for almost two hours. “They got my score wrong, by the way, I shot 1 under, not 2 under. They had, Martin Kaymer and I, they had our scores reversed. I made par on 9, and Martin made birdie.”

HE SAID IT

“My 100th round, is it? Well I didn’t even realize that it was my 100th. I think to anybody’s criteria at the end of a golfing career to have played over a hundred rounds of golf at the Masters, there’s got to be something you can tell your grandchildren in time to come. There’s probably still a few more rounds to go yet.” — 1988 Masters champ Sandy Lyle, 56, who made the cut and shot 76 on Saturday.
