Three rounds are in the books at the 2013 Masters, and there's still plenty of golfers who have a chance to don the green jacket on Sunday.

Conditions at the Augusta National Golf Course were much more favorable. Gone were the heavy wind gusts that caused problems for golfers throughout the second round.

There was plenty of movement on the leaderboard on Saturday. Favorites faded down the stretch, while new contenders emerged.



As play moves into the pivotal final round, here are the golfers who helped themselves the most, and those who had third rounds to forget.

 

Winners

Tim Clark



Tim Clark wasn't considered a threat before Saturday. After posting a five-under 67 for the third round, Clark has put himself firmly in the conversation.

The 37-year-old really struggled with the heavy winds on Friday and went four over for the round as a result. The last nine holes in particular were troublesome as he picked up four bogeys between Nos. 11 and 16.

Clark didn't waste any time erasing all the bad memories from the second round. He picked up birdies on five of the first seven holes. Clark leveled off on the back nine, but the totality of his performance is something to appreciate.

 

Nick Watney

Few in the tournament have been hotter than Nick Watney over the last two rounds. After shooting a six-under 78 in the first round, Watney turned around and posted scores of 69 and 68, respectively, in the second and third rounds.

Taking a score of one-under into the final round, it's going to take a monumental effort from Watney and a collapse from those at the top for the 31-year-old to make a run for the title.

Still, he's done great for himself after that disaster of a first round and should be taking home a bit more money as a result.
