Watson, Spieth Tied for Masters Lead
Published at
Mike Ehrmann/Getty Images(AUGUSTA, GA) — Jordan Spieth put together yet another impressive performance Saturday, shooting a 2-under 70 to tie Bubba Watson for the lead at the Masters.
If Spieth can outlast the remainder of the field Sunday, he’ll become golf’s youngest major champion in more than 80 years.
“This is the place I’ve always dreamt about,” said Spieth, who was 5 under for the tournament. “I thought it was a good fit for my game. So far, so good.”
Watson stumbled slightly on Saturday with a 74, but he is still looking to win his second green jacket in three years. His buddy Spieth will join him in the final group on Sunday, which will make things even more interesting.
“We’re pretty good friends,” Watson said. “It’s going to be fun. It will be interesting, but be fun. Hopefully one of us wins, if not me hopefully him.”
Matt Kuchar and Jonas Blixt were one shot back at 212. Miguel Angel Jimenez and Rickie Fowler sit two shots back heading into Sunday.
