Masters leaderboard 2018: Scores, highlights from Round 3 at Augusta image

While the weather might have been bad at Augusta, the golfers certainly weren't.

Early eyes focused on Tiger Woods (+4) and Ian Poulter (+2), but none seemed to make the statement that golf fans were hoping that the two 42-year-olds would. Luckily there were other stars that broke out throughout the rainy Saturday.

Rory McIlroy (-11) shot his way up the leaderboard and moved his way to second in the Masters — just three behind leader Patrick Reed (-14) who put on quite a show.

Even through all the rain — and the highs and lows it brought fans — things were certainly interesting to say the least. Catch up on the highlights of Round 3 at Augusta with our live updates and 2018 Masters leaderboard below.

1:19 p.m. Bryson DeChambeau started his day off with three bogeys in his first five holes, and he hasn't improved much. He comes up just short on a putt for birdie that appeared to be around a couple inches away from the hole. He settles for the tap-in putt for par.

1:16 p.m. Woods unfortunately can't take advantage of the great positioning and settles for a short par on a hole that's given him so much trouble this tournament. Poulter quickly follows suit and sinks the par putt.

1:10 p.m. Woods is having some fun and laughing at how well he struck the ball off the tee on No. 12. It lands well into the green and he remains at 4-over par.  Lucky to avoid the water for the third day in a row.

11:58 a.m. Mickelson (+9) uses the driver off the deck from 271 away on wet grass. This is why these guys are professionals.

11:55 a.m. Poulter (+5) rides the momentum gained from his previous hole to sink an impressive birdie on No. 6. Tiger Woods (+5) does the same — just his sixth birdie of the tournament.

11:49 a.m. After the broadcast showed three golfers missing birdie putts in a row, Mickelson sinks the distant putt to save par after starting No. 7 in a less-than-ideal fashion. Ian Poulter does the same saving par on No. 5.

11:44 a.m. The 48-year-old lefty does escape from the woods and has the opportunity to save for par.

11:40 a.m. Mickelson (+9) has said that he's not felt comfortable with his swing so far in the tournament and it shows on the seventh hole where he hooks it into the crowd as the rest of his group hits the fairway.
