The third round of the 2015 Masters came to a close on Saturday, with Jordan Spieth maintaining his lead, but seeing it drop to four strokes.
A patient Justin Rose sits in second. Phil Mickelson, Charley Hoffman and a resurgent Tiger Woods round out the top five. Below is recap of the third day's events (via PGA Tour).
What They're Saying
Rory McIlroy: "I definitely feel like I play this golf course better and better every year that I come here. I don't know, I just need to keep putting numbers up like I did today. I know I'm capable of it. Just a few stretches of holes have held me back and that's really been the case this year again."
Bubba Watson: "You know you're hitting the ball good, it's just about making the putts. Look at every champion at every tournament that's ever been played, no matter if it's the Masters or not, they putt well and I missed my share of putts. I think I had five three-putts, maybe, somewhere in that area."
Charley Hoffman: "I gave myself a lot of opportunities. Just didn't convert, unfortunately. I wouldn't do anything different. If I keep doing that and the putts go in, I think I have a chance tomorrow."
Stats of the Day
Ian Poulter was the most accurate in terms of greens in regulation, connecting on 17 of 18, while Jason Day had the longest driving distance, measured at 334 yards.
