If the weekend play at the Masters Tournament is anything like the first two rounds, then we’re in for an exciting finish at the Augusta National Golf Club.
Justin Rose is in control at the top of the leaderboard heading into Round 3 at 7 under par, the same score he carded after one round. Things looked dire in the second round when he carded four bogeys on the front nine, but he overcame the bad start with four birdies — three on the back nine — to finish even for the round.
He remained a stroke ahead of second-place golfers Will Zalatoris and Brian Harman, who are at 6 under through two rounds. That shows just how perilous the greens can be at the Masters — and just how incredibly well golfers will need to play to win the most storied major in golf.

And the greens will only get faster as play continues into moving day. Rose certainly doesn’t have a big enough lead to rest on his haunches. Marc Leishman and Jordan Spieth are tied for third at 5 under; Bernd Wiesberger, Tony Finau, Justin Thomas, Si Woo Kim, Cameron Champ and Hidekyi Matsuma are tied for sixth at 4 under.
