Dustin Johnson takes an imposing four-shot lead into the final round of The Masters after a formidable round of 65 yesterday.
The world No 1, who began Saturday’s third round with an overnight share of the lead, took control of the tournament with a stunning five-under-par front nine and birdied the par-5 13th and 15th to leave a wide gap between himself and the chasing pack.
Jon Rahm and Justin Thomas, the world No 2 and 3 respectively, had also taken a share of the lead on Friday but faltered badly in the third round. Rahm double-bogeyed the eighth in spectacular fashion after topping a ball into the trees from where his escape ricocheted into a bush. Thomas was uncharacteristically brittle on the back nine, bogeying all of 12, 14, 15 and 18.
Instead, it is the relatively unknown quantities of Abraham Ancer and Sunjae Im - both Masters debutants - along with Cameron Smith who provide the closest challenge at -12.
Their only reassurance will be that Johnson has traditionally allowed nerves to creep into his game on Sunday at the majors, with the American memorably blowing a three-shot lead within half-an-hour at Pebble Beach in 2010. Check out the final round tee-times below:
