AUGUSTA, Ga. — Saturday is called moving day at the Masters Tournament because that is when top-performing golfers try to leapfrog up the leaderboard to position themselves for a championship charge in Sunday’s final round.
The axiom held true for Cameron Smith of Australia, whose four-under-par 68 on Saturday moved him to within three shots of the third-round leader, Scottie Scheffler, who shot a determined and steady one-under-par 71.
But Saturday was also something else: a day of shifting spotlights.
Since Tiger Woods arrived on the Augusta National practice range last weekend, he has dominated all conversation about the 2022 tournament and attracted huge galleries of spectators who followed him from hole to hole as if no other golfer in the field mattered.
