Far more favorable scoring conditions defined the third round of the 2013 Masters Tournament on Saturday. Plenty of shuffling occurred in the field, including a move made by Brandt Snedeker on the back nine to tie 2009 Masters champion Angel Cabrera atop the leaderboard.

Dan Jenkins of Golf Digest pointed out just how strong Snedeker's form was to begin the season, but also referenced the crushing collapse he suffered at Augusta in 2008 playing in the final group:

ESPN's Justin Ray provided a historical backdrop to what a prospective victory would mean for the Argentine, and also how consistently clutch Cabrera is in the final 36 holes at this pristine venue:





A birdie on the final hole placed Cabrera in the joint lead after bogeys at Nos. 12 and 13 threatened to derail his bid for a second green jacket.

Day maintained his extremely consistent start throughout...
