Realistically, there are only five players who have a chance to win - the leader and those within four shots of him. Not many players have come from more than four shots back to win the Masters. Here are the contenders:
Angel Cabrera: No player in the Masters Tournament has had four rounds in the 60s. With a pair of 68s and a 69, Cabrera could make history tomorrow. But the odds of posting anything better than a 70 are against him. I don't think he can win.
Kenny Perry: Perry could also make history as the oldest player to win a major golf tournament. Augusta National is a very hilly course, which could make the second nine holes challenging. And that's where the tournament is won.
Chad Campbell: The player from Andrews, Texas, had a great first round, but he's been slipping as the tournament goes on. I'd like to see him win, but he'll have to do better than Saturday's even par round of 72.
Steve Stricker: He's silently come from nowhere to be in the 5th place but I don't see him winning on Sunday.
Tiger and Phil don't have a chance.
It's not often that the winner doesn't come from the final pairing, but I'm hoping it will happen tomorrow with Furyk.
