It's moving day at the Masters, and it promises to be one of the more memorable moving days the tournament has ever had. How could it not given this leader board through 36 holes, which features five major champions tied at the top, Tiger Woods and Dustin Johnson just one back, and names like Jon Rahm, Phil Mickelson and Rickie Fowler all within striking distance. There are so many in contention at Augusta National that it's proven difficult to keep track. On Friday, while Woods was making his second-round charge, Xander Schauffele was quietly shooting the round of the tournament, a seven-under 65 that also has him within one of the lead. Did we mention Justin Thomas and Bryson DeChambeau and Matt Kuchar and Ian Poulter are all firmly in the mix as well? Like we said, it's been chaotic.
MASTERS 2019: Assessing the chances of the roughly 317 people in contention after 36 holes
Will Saturday make the picture any clearer? Probably not, and that's a good thing. All we can ask for is a similar crowded leader board heading into Sunday, when all hell will break loose. For now, the one-shot edge on the field belongs to Brooks Koepka, Adam Scott, Louis Oosthuizen, Francesco Molinari and Jason Day. The last four names in that group are all looking to notch a second major title, while Koepka can earn a remarkable third major victory in his last four tries and the fourth of his career.
The leaders, plus Woods, Johnson, Schauffele & co. won't be on the course for some time, and we'll have all the important updates from the final groups when they get rolling. For now, we'll keep you updated on any notable action from the morning wave, which features a marquee pairing of Marc Leishman and Rory McIlroy, each at even par and both in need of a low round on Saturday to get back in this thing.

Here are the tee times for the third round.
1:58 p.m.: Patrick Cantlay misses the birdie from 10 feet at 16, but stays 7-under on his round—making the biggest move on Moving Day on Saturday at Augusta.
But he's not the only one making serious moves:
Tony Finau birdied his first three holes and is now just one back (-6 overall). Rickie Fowler has made three birdies in a row after an opening bogey at 1 to move to 5-under overall.
Hideki Matsuyama has made four straight birdies and is 6-under on his round—matching Fowler and Cantlay at 5-under overall.
All of this proves there's likely some serious movement upcoming from the leaders here at Augusta National.
1:55 p.m.: Patrick Cantlay cannot be stopped! The 27-year-old is now 7-under (!!) on his round through 15 holes and has a streak of three birdies in a row going. It's a bogey-free, seven-birdie round. We're seeing flawless golf on Day 3 from Cantlay, two back of the current lead!
And Cantlay just hit it to 10 feet at 16. The guy is putting together a special round early on Day 3.
One shot better currently is Tony Finau, who is now 3-under through three holes—and ONE back early on Moving Day. We're seeing some serious movement!
Rickie Fowler is also making a bit of an early move—making up for an opening bogey with birdies at Nos. 2, 3 and 4 to also get to 5-under for the tourney and just two back.
1:42 p.m.: Tony Finau is now two-under through two holes to move within two back of the lead. The long-hitting Utah native has been quiet up till now—but he might be playing himself into the mix early here, as he moves to the short par-4 third.
Phil Mickelson and Matt Kuchar just teed off in their opening round on Day 3. Both these 40+ year olds are now on the course as they start their days off three off the lead. Kuchar found the fairway but it looks like Phil's drive went to the right.
1:27 p.m.: The most impressive start of Day 3 is Patrick Cantlay, and it continues to get more impressive. Cantlay is now 6-under on his round with a birdie at the 14th hole. He's all the way up to 4-under.
A couple early moves up the leaderboard include Charley Hoffman, who is 2-under through his first 4 holes to get to 4-under and three back of the lead. Same as Finau—he starts his round with a birdie at No. 1 to move within three.
And Hideki Matsuyama has made six birdies through 13 holes, along with two bogeys, and Hideki is up to 3-under for the tournament. That's a big move from the Japanese star.
1:21 p.m.: Rory McIlroy just added a necessary birdie at the difficult par-4 10th hole—holing a nine-footer for birdie to get him back to 1-over for the tournament. Rory will need a handful more of those coming in to get within ear shot of the lead.
1:05 p.m.: We're about an hour away from Tiger Woods' 2:05 tee time alongside Ian Poulter, a repeat of a Saturday pairing last year at Augusta National. It's known that Tiger and Poulter didn't get along back in the day. Of course, Poulter once said he could be the best player in the world, a dig at Tiger in his heyday:
“Don’t get me wrong, I really respect every professional golfer but I know I haven’t played to my full potential and when that happens, it will be just me and Tiger.”
Hank Haney's book The Big Miss, Poulter flew back from the U.S. Open at Oakmont in Tiger's private plane back to Jupiter, Fla. And Haney describes how Tiger texted him as he was talking to Poulter ripping on the Englishman. We're 10 years removed from that ... so don't expect there to be too much bad blood there still.
And about 40 minutes from Phil's tee time with Matt Kuchar. If you didn't see Phil's social-media post calling out Kuchar, it's a must-watch before he tees off.
12:57 p.m.: Rory's playing partner, Marc Leishman, hit a sensational shot into the ninth hole, sticking it close for a birdie. That gets back to even-par on the tournament. Rory, however, didn't get as lucky. Actually, quite the opposite.

Rory chopped it out onto the green and two-putted for a bogey, which drops him to two-over on the day, and two-over for the tournament. He's going to need a really, really special inward nine to become a factor on the weekend. Not very probable as he's nine shots back now.
12:47 p.m.: How about this round Patrick Cantlay has going? The 2011 U.S. Amateur champ is 5-under through 11 holes and has the best round going at Augusta National. He's made a huge move—he's now 3-under for the tournament, and just four back of the lead. What a birdie for Cantlay at the 11th hole, where Tiger made the only birdie of the day yesterday. Cantlay's making a HUGE move here.
12:31 p.m.: Yikes. Back-to-back bogeys for McIlroy at the sixth and seventh holes. After that long birdie conversion at the fourth, it looked like Rory might get it rolling, but all he's done is gone backwards. He's now at one over for the week and, barring an epic back nine, likely out of the tournament. At the par-5 eighth, which presents an opportunity to at least get back on track, McIlroy just pulled his drive behind a tree. I don't think he's winning the career Grand Slam this week.
McIlroy's playing partner Marc Leishman isn't doing much better, as he's made two bogeys in his last four holes to drop back to even par. Meanwhile, some serious moves are being made by Patrick Cantlay, Tyrrell Hatton and Hideki Matsuyama. Cantlay carded a four-under 32 on the front nine, and just made par at 10 to continue a bogey-free round. Hatton is four under through 10 as well, while Matsuyama is three under through nine. They are all tied at two under for the tournament along with Keegan Bradley, defending champion Patrick Reed, Webb Simpson and Tommy Fleetwood, who are all off to good starts in their third rounds.
12:15 p.m.: After a really nice up-and-down par save for Rory McIlroy at No. 5, he gives one right back at the sixth to drop to even par. Marc Leishman was able to make pars at both holes to stay at one over for the tournament.
11:49 a.m.: Boom! McIlroy buries one from DEEP at the par-3 fourth, 32 feet to be exact, for birdie to get to one under for the week. That's exactly what he needed to kick start this round. Of course, now he has to avoid dropping that shot at the difficult par-4 fifth. Par there would certainly keep the momentum going.
