Justin Rose enters Saturday at the Masters with a one-stroke lead. Justin Thomas is No. 2 in the world. Tony Finau shot 6-under par on Friday.
And still, it’s hard to escape the feeling that the most likely champion this weekend is a guy who in February was ranked No. 92 and a week ago won his first tournament since 2017. Jordan Spieth, tied at sixth at 4-under, is always a threat at the Masters.
Some golfers step onto the grounds and feel their heart rate soar. Some get nervous. Some are baffled.
