Brooks Koepka is the current favorite to win this year’s Masters after yesterday’s performance in Augusta.
Koepka, who has never won The Masters, extended his Masters lead over Jon Rahm to four shots. Koepka was one under through six holes and four ahead of Rahm, who had dropped to -9 after back-to-back bogeys on the fourth and fifth.
Yesterday, rain stopped play again at The Masters after the greens became saturated due to the conditions.
Players struggled to play in the conditions and many found it difficult to control and stop the ball on the saturated greens.
Heading into today’s action, Rahm is close behind Koepka and enjoyed a good day yesterday. Rahm started his third round at -10, but has since won a shot and has fallen back by two, having carded two bogeys on fourth and fifth.

2022 winner Scottie Scheffler is slightly off the pace heading into today’s final day
Scottie Scheffler, who won the tournament last year, is currently out of rhythm. He had a mixed third round before play was stopped.
Amateur Sam Bennett was one of the most notable performers this year. After a poor start yesterday, Bennett maintained his position at the top of the leaderboard despite carding back-to-back bogeys at the start of his third round.
The American starts today at -6.

Scheffler has a lot of catching up to do if he wants to retain the title and is currently an 80/1 favorite to win.
Rahm is currently the biggest threat to Koepka. The Spaniard is a 6/4 favorite to win his first ever Masters tournament.
Heading into today’s action, Collin Morikawa will certainly be one to watch. The American is currently fourth at -5 along with Matt Fitzpatrick, Patrick Cantlay and Viktor Hovland.
Despite suffering a neck injury early in the week, Fitzpatrick notably shone, scoring three birdies in his front nine to score -5 through 11 in yesterday’s action.
According to Paddy Power, Morikawa is currently third favorite to win the tournament at 28/1.
