Augusta, Ga. • Saturday looked a lot like a Sunday in the Masters, with a bunch of golfers making eagles, shooting 65s and creating a stir all around Augusta National Golf Club.
Credit the weather, the shotmaking ability and the fearlessness of some of golf’s young stars for a day that will be tough to top. Not much could happen in Sunday’s final round to eclipse the show these guys staged Saturday, when former Augusta State golfer Patrick Reed posted a 67 and barely added to his lead.
Reed is 14 under par through 54 holes, but Rory McIlroy’s 18th-hole birdie gave him one of the day’s three 65s and left him only three strokes behind.
