Paul Casey joined Jordan Spieth on top of the Masters' leaderboard at 3-under - momentarily.

Casey caught his playing partner with a long birdie putt at No. 10, prompting a celebratory fist pump. But Spieth quickly responded with his own birdie on the same hole to move to 4-under.

While Spieth is trying to become the first repeat winner since Tiger Woods in 2001 and 2002, Casey's had some success at Augusta National, too.
