Moving day brought big changes to the leaderboard. 

Rory McIlroy extended his lead to four strokes with his round of 70. It didn't look like McIlroy could get anything going up until the 17th hole where he holed a long birdie putt and gave a confident fist pump.

Jason Day failed to compete with McIlroy, shooting an even par 72. Day had his share of birdies all day, however, he also backed them up with bogeys. 

He is now in a tie for second with three other competitors. 

There were a couple big movers on this Saturday, however. 

The champion in 2009, Angel Cabrera, shot a 67 to climb all the way into a tie for second place. 

Because Cabrera already owns a jacket, he can be very dangerous tomorrow. 

South African Charl Schwartzel shot a 68 and also moved into a tie for second.

Adam Scott also climbed his way back into the tournament. He fired a 67 and remains only five shots off the lead.  

Luke Donald shot a third-round 69 to get to seven-under for the tournament and five shots off McIlroy. 

Bubba Watson climbed the leaderboard substantially today, going from even to five-under with a 67. He, however, remains a long shot and will require a spectacular round on Sunday for a victory. 

After the spectacular round on Friday, Tiger Woods could not find any consistency with his putter. He shot a 74. He will need a great round tomorrow to fight his way back into contention.  

Phil Mickelson needed a big round today to get back into contention. This did not happen, however, Mickelson shot a 71 and remains nine shots off the lead. He will need a minor miracle for his fourth green jacket. 

The leaderboard for this year's Masters has many great stories, Sunday should be a spectacular afternoon of golf.
