AUGUSTA, Ga. — Moving Day at The Masters always brings wild momentum shifts, but it’s been awhile since Augusta National has seen a 90-second stretch quite like what unfolded at about 6:22 p.m. Eastern.
With the shadows long and the rain sprinkling, Justin Rose, Will Zalatoris and Hideki Matsuyama stood tied at 7-under. Matsuyama and his playing partner, Xander Schauffele (-5), were on the par-5 15th, while Rose and Zalatoris were back at the 12th. The leaderboard was tight, but it was about to burst wide open.
First, Schauffele drained an astounding 61-foot eagle, putting him into a four-way tie for the lead.
