Rickie Fowler by the way did not change his pattern of wearing his electric tangerine PUMA gear on Sunday's... I thought he might move to some neon Masters green today but no, he is out there brighter than any azalea on the course.

Guys who moved on Saturday.. McIlroy 70, Cabrera 67, Schwartzel 68, Choi 71, Scott 67, Donald 69, Van Pelt 68, Watson 67, Fisher 71, Kuchar 69, Laird 69, Palmer 69, Matsuyama 68, Molinari 69
Guys in contention who didn't ..Woods 74, Ogilvy 73, Westwood 74, Quiros 75, Furyk 74, Barnes 75, Garcia 75, Fowler 76, etc..
I don't expect Rory to run away with this today. You have to go back to 1996 when Sir Nick beat Norman by 5 then of course 1997 when Tiger smashed all the records with his 270, 12 shot win over Tom Kite, for someone to win by 4 shots or more.
With guys like Tiger, Bubba, Bo, Angel, Scott etal all flag hunting, one of them is bound to have a big day.
If Rory just shoots par it will take 68 at least to catch him. I have watched him every week since he turned pro and won in Dubai as a 19 year old, and he is a very mature 21 year old in golfing terms as he has shown this week. He does have a tendency to shock you and miss a few tiddlers, although he has avoided that this week, and what is a tiddler anyways on these Augusta greens !
There is a lot of drama ahead folks, as the old saying goes "it's never over til the back nine on Sunday at Augusta"
