Final day at Augusta after a thrilling third round

Fred Couples is making the biggest move among the Masters leaders, while others have already run into trouble.

Phil Mickelson had a birdie attempt knocked off line by a pollen pod that blew onto the green just before he putted at No. 2. Tiger Woods yanked his first tee shot into the adjacent ninth fairway and needed two swings to get out of a bunker at the second. Lee Westwood also put his first shot in the trees and took a bogey.

Westwood bounced back with a two-putt birdie at the second, reclaiming his one-stroke lead over Mickelson. Couples birdied two of the first three holes to get to 9 under, three strokes behind in a tie with K.J. Choi. Woods is five shots off the pace.
