It's anybody's guess who will walk away with the coveted Green Jacket at Augusta on Sunday.
Snedeker: 'I'm here to win'
An epic final day awaits after a number of big names and challengers put themselves into position after Saturday's third round in Georgia.
American Brandt Snedeker, who won the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am in February, and Argentinean Angel Cabrera, whose last win in the US came at this tournament in 2009, share the lead after 54 holes, but any one of a number of challengers could still walk away with the crown.
The leading duo both carded three-under-par 69s on Saturday to take their total to seven under par, one shot clear of Australian Adam Scott, who also had a 69.
Two more Aussies follow on five under. Marc Leishman (72), a former PGA Tour Rookie of the Year, and Jason Day (73) who, along with Scott, fought so hard during the final day at Augusta in 2011 only for Charl Schwartzel to steal the title away from under their noses.
The always consistent Matt Kuchar shot a 69 to move to four under, three back, while Tim Clark's 67, the low round of the day, saw him finish on three under par alongside that man Tiger Woods (70), who produced three birdies in a four-hole stretch on the back nine to storm into the top 10 and ensure that he is still very much in with a shout of picking up his first major win since 2008.
Rickie Fowler (70), Steve Stricker (71), Bernhard Langer (72), Lee Westwood (73) and Jim Furyk (74) all lie on two under, five back, and probably can't be discounted either - though it would take something very special indeed for the likes of Sergio Garcia (73) and Nick Watney (68), who lie on one under, to make their presence felt on the final day.
Snedeker enjoyed a superb start to the season. In three straight weeks he was runner-up to Woods, runner-up to Phil Mickelson and then won at Pebble Beach. He feels his time may be coming on the biggest stage of them all.
"I've spent 32 years of my life getting ready for tomorrow," Snedeker said. "I'm going to be disappointed if I don't win. Period. I'm not here to get a good finish. ... I'm here to win."
Cabrera, despite only being ranked 269th in the world, seems to save his best golf for the Masters and can't be discounted.
"I've been working very hard for this moment," Cabrera said through an interpreter. "And I've got to take the opportunity."
Woods, meanwhile, very nearly didn't even play on Saturday. Masters officials discovered late Friday evening that Woods had taken a bad drop in the second round and should have added two shots to his score.
While this would lead to disqualification under normal circumstances, officials took the blame for not alerting Woods to the situation as they had found nothing wrong at first glance before he signed.
Two shots were added to his score, though a late rally and a two-under-par 70 on Saturday means he still has a chance to win.
"It certainly was a distraction early," Woods said. "It happens and you move on. I was ready to play come game time."
Scott may get the chance at redemption he's been searching for after blowing a four-shot lead at last year's Open, eventually surrendering the title to Ernie Els.
"Obviously, to win the Masters would be incredible," Scott said. "It would be great for Australia. We've never looked better odds-wise going into a Sunday, except that one year in 1996. It's going to be a hell of a round tomorrow."
