THE 19TH HOLE
Lightning in a bottle: Until Saturday Tim Joe had never carded a sub-80 round in 15 career Masters starts. His previous best score (83) was in the inaugural edition of the Masters 16 years ago in 2005. His back-9 38 was 2 strokes better than his previous best back-9 in 2019, the year he won his first Masters… Bests: Runner-up P-Jay Fidler had the highest finish of his career at the Masters; his 85 was his best score in his last 5 starts at Scholl. Gerry Vaughan’s 42 was his best back-9 score in his last 8 Masters starts. Chris Moawad (74) carded his best score in his last 6 Masters starts, his best back-9 (34) in his last 11 starts; it was his 3rd straight top-3 finish at the Masters; 7th straight top 3 finish in his last 7 starts in a major… Tournament leaders: Pars, T. Joe (8) followed by Moawad (7); Bogeys, W. Vargas (9) followed by Vaughan and Fidler (7)… Devil’s Gulch (13-14-15): Chris Moawad top score (+2) including a birdie on 15… Déjà vu: Last season Walter Vargas carded a personal-best round to become the Masters’ first 3-time winner. Tim Joe’s personal best round had him join Walter Vargas in the 3-time winner’s club… Tweet-tweet: W. Vargas (par-3 11th) Moawad (par-4 15th) Vaughan (par-3 11th) split the $6 birdie pot; Vaughan moved up 2 spots into 9th on the all-time birdie pool earnings list.
