A look at three scorecards following Saturday’s third round of the Masters at Augusta National:

JUSTIN ROSE

71-72-67 (tied for 1st)

Highlights: The low round of the day included five birdies on the final seven holes.

What he said: "I'm in a great position going into tomorrow. I think had I been two or three shots behind, I still would have felt that I was in great position going into tomorrow, which leads me to understand everybody's mind‑set behind me.

“So it means that I have to stay positive tomorrow. I have to continue to play good, aggressive golf, as I did today.”

SERGIO GARCIA

71-69-70 (tied for 1st)

Highlights: He bounced back from bogeys on 7 and 9 to post two more birdies, giving him four for the day.

What he said: "I played hard. I fought as much as I could with what I had and stayed patient. I waited for my time to make a couple of good things happen."

-

RICKIE FOWLER

73-67-71 (3rd)

Highlights: Five birdies and two bogeys kept him near the top of the leaderboard most of the day.

What he said: "This is a special place. I love any chance I get to play here."
