Connors sends his birdie putt across 9 dead on line, but gives it a little too much juice, and it lips out on the left. Still, that’s a par, and he’s turning in 32, three of the lead at -6. Brian Harman heads in the wrong direction, though, with bogeys at 3 and 4; he’s suddenly toppled down to -4. Yet another illustration of how easy it is to quickly fall off the pace at the Masters.
Kim’s putter will live to see another hole at least, as the young Korean rolls in a left-to-right curler on 6. He returns to -3. Thomas slips back to -5 after a 15-footer refuses to drop on 5. Matsuyama makes his first birdie of the day at 7 to make it to -5. Zalatoris rolls in his first birdie putt, from 12 feet at 3. And it’s two putts for Rose for his par; his lead is now just two.
-9: Rose (3)
-7: Zalatoris (3)
-6: Conners (8), Leishman (3)
