The betting favorites to win this year’s Masters are Dustin Johnson at +950, Bryson De Chambeau at +1100, Jordan Spieth and Justine Thomas both at +1150 and John Rahm both at +1200. Sentimental favorite Rory McIlroy is at +1900.

Round 3 is now showing the skills of Japanese Hideki Matsuyama although Justin rose is still in the 2nd group chasing the leader. Going into the 4th round the fight for 2nd is getting stiff and the leader Matsuyama should be attentive to the threats.
1) -11 under par Hideki Matsuyama
2) -7 under par Justin Rose, Will Zalatoris, Marc Leishman, Xander Schauffele
3) -6 under par Corey Conners
