The American recovered from a mid-round stumble to get back to seven-under Par.
World number one Scottie Scheffler recovered from a mid-round stumble to get back to the top of the leaderboard and holds a one-shot lead heading into the final round of The Masters .
No player has won the Masters on their major championship debut, but Aberg has defied the odds ever since joining the paid ranks, winning on both the DP World Tour and PGA Tour and justifying his wild card by helping Europe regain the Ryder Cup in Rome. That looked set to be the case, at best, for overnight joint leader Bryson DeChambeau, who duffed a pitch on the 15th into the water to run up a double-bogey seven and carved his drive on the 18th deep into the trees.
“I feel like my game is in a good spot and has been for a while,” said Scheffler, who boasted form figures of 1-1-2 coming into the week. Playing alongside Tiger Woods, who slumped to a career-worst 82, Tyrrell Hatton admitted he was “devastated” to four-putt the 18th to record a third round of 73 and slip to three over par.
“Yeah, I’m devastated, to be honest. It’s tough to take. I don’t know how I have to play golf around here to shoot under par.”
