Should be fun tomorrow. Big leads can disappear in a hurry at Augusta National on Sunday.

1996: Greg Norman had a 6 stroke lead after 54 holes. And lost.
2011: McIlroy led by 4 strokes after 54 holes. And lost.
2016: Spieth led by 5 after the front 9 on Sunday. And lost.

A tradition unlike any other. Rory gets revenge tomorrow.

I think Reed is a mega-douche and should have gone to UNC**, but I cannot deny his golf game. Sometimes, though, what goes around will eventually come around. It did for Tiger, and I think he's a lot different now. I want Spieth to win, but it's not going to happen. The douche-group with Rory and Reed. I'd love to see some Greg Norman action.

There's not much love for Reed in Georgia. Yes, he's cocky, brash, and tremendously talented, but the rumors persist about his past behavior.

Officially he was kicked off the University of Georgia Golf Team for drunkenness before transferring to Augusta State. Yet there are allegations his dismissal was actually due to stealing from teammates and cheating during a qualifying round.

Not sure what is true, but Reed alienated a lot of people when he attended the UGA vs. Notre Dame Football game last fall in South Bend and posted pictures of himself wearing Notre Dame gear.

I think I remember reading that Reed's own collegiate teammates wanted him to lose in match play events as long as they got the team win.

Reed's one of those guys you can appreciate, because he acknowledges he's a dick and fully embraces it. Unlike Bubba, who'll cuss his caddie on TV then quote scripture in the post-round interview. Reed's antics vs. Rory in the Ryder Cup sealed it for me. Love the dude. Hope he pulls it out tomorrow.

Looks like a dude who doesn’t wash his hands after taking a ****.

Reed is a DB, can't really root for him. Rory was super hot yesterday, I think that final group is going to be good. Maybe Fowler or Rahm can make a run and make it really interesting.I don't think Stenson can go low enough at Augusta to catch up.

Be my wish to see Ricky have a Sunday 65/66 and win.... while the lead two flame out...
Don't see that happening though. McIlroy drives the ball too well and is putting great.... I pick him to win... Reed hasn't had a bad round yet and is due one... We will see.

Can’t really lose today. May see a Grand Slam, Ricky may finally win a Major, USA’s best match play player for the foreseeable future cements his place as one of the game’s best, list goes on. Going to be a great Sunday!

I'm not a fan of Tiger. Never have been. But I respect what he's done. But to hear supposed sports analysts on talk radio and tv talk about how they won't watch because he's not in contention is ridiculous. Heard some dude say they only wanted to see Tiger because he's such a superior athlete to the other guys. DJ, Finau and several others would laugh at this. If you can't enjoy the golf that was played yesterday you're not a golfer. So don't watch.

Reed called himself "Captain America" again when talking about playing alongside Rory. [laughing] Both of those guys were playing some serious mind games through the media yesterday.
I'm for Merica. Kick the little close-pin nose look'n mfcker's ***.

Reed holding on for dear life. Pressure got to him and Rory. Spieth may steal this one like Willet did to him a few years ago.

Steal it with a course record day. That would be something else. Dustin Johnson creeping in here too.

Ricky not backing down. Will be an epic finish to this final round. Smell a playoff....

Why are they not talking about Speith having a chance at the low round in a major? He just needs 1 birdie for 62.

Good charge by Spieth and Fowler to keep it interesting but still not enough. Reed 2 Rory 0.

Wasn't Patrick Reed kicked out of school at Georgia and had to go to Augusta State? I know he's not exactly well-liked amongst the other players on the PGA Tour.
