AUGUSTA, GA – It’s Easter Sunday at Augusta National and someone will win a green jacket this afternoon.
Sweden’s Peter Hanson has the lead heading into Sunday’s final round at nine-under par through 54 holes. Lurking one shot back after carding a 30 on yesterday’s second nine is three-time Masters champ Phil Mickelson, who looks to join Arnold Palmer, Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus as the only men with four or more Masters wins.
