Masters: The inexplicable Scott
Unbelievably, Australian Adam Scott has never broken 70 at Augusta National Golf Club in 25 Masters rounds. He shot a 2-under-par 70 in Saturday’s third round, only the third time he has shot 70. The other two times came in the 2002 and '03 final rounds.

Scott moved from T29 to T19, and the round gives him some confidence going into Sunday’s final round.

“I don't think I need that much,” said Scott when asked if he needs a 61 on Sunday. “But where I am is not looking so good, but maybe a 68 might be good enough.”

Scott was nine shots off of Brandt Snedeker's lead at the time that he finished. But Scott believes weather will have an affect come Sunday.

“If the weather is the way it is even par could go a long way tomorrow,” Scott said.  “I mean, it wouldn't surprise me to see 5‑under leading at the end of today. I mean a lot of stuff can happen out there. And we watched it yesterday with Justin (Rose), unfortunately. And that's what happens.  Especially if the wind blows.”
