Masters 2022 -- Chasing Scottie Scheffler, tracking Tiger Woods and other big storylines for the weekend at Augusta National

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Tiger Woods might be the biggest story in the 86th Masters.

But everyone is chasing the hottest player on the planet, world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, who has a 5-shot lead heading into Saturday's third round at Augusta National Golf Club.

Scheffler's advantage matches the largest 36-hole lead in Masters history. Five other players led by as many strokes after two rounds, including Harry Cooper in 1936, Herman Keiser in 1946, Jack Nicklaus in 1975, Raymond Floyd in 1976 and Jordan Spieth in 2015. All but Cooper ended up winning a green jacket.
