The Masters, Round 3: A Preview Of The Last Five Pairings

SB Nation’s resident golf expert, Ryan Ballengee, previews the last five groups of Round 3. These groups start teeing off at 1:55 Eastern.

Here’s Mr. Ballengee’s take on the Ian Poulter-Lee Westwood pairing, slated for 2:55:

The final pairing features the best player so far this week and a guy that has never won a major championship. Can you guess who is who? Trick question of course, but Ian Poulter has played the best of anyone this week. He has done it while being mediocre with the short stick, but never getting into much trouble. Westwood found trouble on fourteen yesterday and looked like a deer in headlights. If that happens more often today than yesterday, Poults could be the only of the pair to be left with a chance on Sunday.

For more previews, including a look at Phil Mickelson and noted golfing enthusiast Tiger Woods, check out the rest of the post over at Waggle Room.
