Brooks Koepka leads at the 2023 Masters and heads for the marathon Sunday
Koepka began the third round of the 2023 Masters with a two-stroke lead over Jon Rahm and managed to strengthen the lead to four as Rahm dropped shots on two straight holes.
The threesome, which included Koepka, Rahm, and amateur Sam Bennett, was then heading into the seventh green which was already waterlogged due to incessant rain throughout the day.
US Amateur Open champion Sam Bennett entered the third round with a score of 8-under but consecutive bogeys in the opening two holes dropped him to 6 under. The 22-year-old has already created a few records and has a chance of creating another one if he triumphs on Sunday.
Earlier, Tiger Woods made the cut at Augusta National for a straight 23rd time, tying Fred Couples and Gary Player's record for the longest streak at The Masters. National. He is still 23 strokes behind Koepka.
The 47-year-old veteran was seen limping on Saturday as he still struggles with the injuries he sustained due to a car accident two years ago.
