Thomas Pieters, who led the tournament briefly on Thursday, has made a back-nine charge to put himself into contention.
The Belgian 25-year-old made four birdies in a row from the 12th to 15th holes, going from 2-under for the championship to 6-under. He vaulted into a tie with Sergio Garcia, two shots back of leader Justin Rose, before a 16th-hole bogey knocked him back a stroke.
Pieters is making himself a household name this weekend, which is surprising even though it shouldn’t be. We’ll see him on this stage for a long time to come. The Masters has been a national breakthrough for him.
Matt Kuchar moved to 5-under by making a hole-in-one on Augusta National Golf Club’s par-3 16th hole. It was one of the best moments of the tournament and came at a critical time. Nobody else in the field is better than 4-under. Jordan Spieth and Rickie Fowler teed off second-to-last before Rose and Garcia, but neither has been able to make a Sunday charge.
