AUGUSTA, Ga. — There are moments at the Masters where the entire field seems to heat up at once, when birdies and eagles are flying all over the course. You can sense it, even if you don’t quite know what’s happening thanks to the whole no-cell-phones thing. You hear cheers welling up from somewhere in the vicinity of Amen Corner, or somewhere up near the clubhouse, and you know there’s movement on the leaderboard … but you have to wait until the hand-operated scoreboards display a new set of red numbers to know exactly what that movement is.
