7:30PM ET
Bubba Watson has won the Masters with a par on the 2nd playoff hole, the 10th. The key shot was an unbelievable 155 yard shot from the right trees which Bubba had to hook an estimated 40-50 yards. The shot hit the green and spun up the hill toward the hole. Oosthuizen was short of the green and failed to get up and down for par. Bubba easily two putted for an easy win on the 2nd playoff hole. Bubba had tears in his eyes (ala Caddy Shack) as he hugged his caddie, mother and friends like Rickie Fowler.
Congratulations to Bubba Watson. Well played.
7:20PM ET
We have a playoff between Bubba Watson and Louis Oosthuizen. They’ve both made par on the first playoff hole, the 18th.
Both players have teed off on the 2nd playoff hole, the 10th and blocked them into the trees. Wait. Oostuizen is in the right 2nd cut. Advantage Oosthuizen.
7:30PM ET
Peter Hansen just shanked his tee shot on 12 into 13 fairway!? Wow.
4:30PM ET
I’m going to break from commenting now. Too intense. Can’t concentrate.
3:49PM ET
Oh my this is awful. Phil Mickelson’s tee shot on #4 hit the grandstands left of the green and bounced into the “shrubbery” left. From there, rather than taking an unplayable or going back to the tee, he hit a right handed shot which didn’t quite get all the way out of the junk. He then hit ANOTHER right handed shot (remember he’s left handed) which ended up on trampled ground. Then he tried a super-flop which ended up in the bunker. From there he got up and down for a TRIPLE bogey. Wow. Phil the trill strikes. -5 now, four shots back.
Meanwhile Oosthuizen has made two pars at four and five and sits at -9 still.
Bubba Watson hit a fantastic approach to the tough 5th hole and made birdie to move to -7 and a tie for 2nd with Hanson.
Matt Kuchar and Padraig Harrington are in the mix at -6 through six holes.
Lee Westwood made birdie on hole #7 to move to -5.
3:30PM ET
Louis Oosthuizen made a bogey on the par-3 4th to drop back one shot to -9.
Phil Mickelson has started with three straight pars and is one back at -8.
Put a fork I Peter Hanson. He has made two bogeys in the first three holes to drop back to -7. Masters nerves for someone who hasn’t been in that position before.
Bubba Watson is -1 on the round through four and sits three back.
12:54PM ET
Oh my goodness! Louis Oosthuizen just knocked his 2nd shot in on #2 from 260 yards for DOUBLE EAGLE! WOW. He just leapfrogged the whole lead group and is now at -10 for the sole lead. That is only the fourth double eagle in Masters history.
Phil Mickelson made par on #1.
2:46PM ET
Bubba Watson made bogey on the first hole to drop to -5 after a 3-putt. He was visibly and audibly mad about his approach shot saying “I did it again.”
Phil Mickelson and leader Peter Hanson are now in the 1st fairway, in good shape.
Hunter Mahan made bogey on the first hole after his approach hit the green and rolled off the left side to a nearly impossible up-and-down situation. Hes now at -3.
2:25PM ET
Bo Van Pelt made par on 17 and birdie on 18 to shoot a 64. Ties the lowest Sunday Masters round in history.
Fred Couples is on the course. Freddy made birdie on #2 and is at -3 after four holes.
In the cellar dweller department, Kelly Kraft has finished his round at +18.
1:38PM ET
Like I said, Bo Van Pelt is having a great day. It just got better. He ACED the 16th hole and is now -7 for the round. He started at +7 and is now EVEN par.
Tiger Woods has reached the final nine. If he made birdie on every hole, he’d still be four shots behind the current leaders who haven’t even teed off yet.
1:00PM ET
Bo Van Pelt is having the round of the day so far. He started the round at +7 and is -5 through 14 holes. Low scores are out there.
Keegan Bradley is having a good round as well. He started the day at +5 and has it to +2 after 10 holes.
Thomas Bjorn and Luke Donald are -3 on the round through 14 holes, moving from +7 to +4.
12:30PM ET
About half of the field is on the course now.
Tiger Woods is on the course. He made a birdie on #2, unlike his par-5 performance for the first three days. He has completed four holes and is at +2 for the tournament.
Hole #2 is playing easy this morning. A large percentage of the field has made birdie there so far.
You can tell that they’ve been drying out the course. The grass around hole #13 for instance, is showing some browning now. The course should be hard and fast by the time the leaders are in their rounds.
Luke Donald is -3 on the day so far, through 10 holes.
9:45AM ET
The final round of the 2012 Masters is officially underway. There are two groups through the first hole now, players at +9 to +11 for the tournament: Cink, Kraft, Karlsson, E. Molinari.

Below is the television coverage schedule for this weekend’s Masters tournament. All on CBS.
CBS
Saturday, April 7 2012 – 3:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. ET
Sunday, April 8 2012 – 3:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. ET
7:15PM ET
Play has completed. Fred Couples and Jason Dufner limped home in the last group. They both shot +3 on the day and now sit seven shots behind the leader.
Bubba Watson made birdie on the final hole to move into solo 4th and a spot in the 2nd to last group with Louis Oosthuizen.
I’ll be posting the final Saturday leaderboard shortly and tomorrow’s pairings.
6:15PM ET
Phil Mickelson’s 3-wood came up short right on the 18th fairway and he had to hit a 30 yard hook to get the ball on the green. That’s just what he did, an incredible shot. Then he made his birdie putt to finish one back of Hanson and almost assured himself of being in the final group tomorrow. Phil has made birdie on the 18th three days in a row. I wonder if that is a record.
Groups still on the course include Bubba Watson, Louis Oosthuizen, Matt Kuchar, Jason Dufner and Fred Couples.
6:00PM ET
Peter Hanson just knocked his approach on 18 to one foot. He’ll tap it in for an amazing 65. He could seriously do no wrong today. He’s opened up a two shot lead at -9.
Louis Oosthuizen and Phil Mickelson are tied for 2nd (-7) currently on the 17th green and 18th fairway respectively.
5:25PM ET
Peter Hanson just took the solo lead (-7) with a birdie on the 15th hole. Phil Mickelson is behind him in the fairway.
Matt Kuchar just 3-putted the 13th for a bogey to drop to -5.
Lee Westwood hit a fantastic approach to 11 and made birdie to get back to -4.
Louis Oosthuizen is solid at -6 through 11.
4:30PM ET
Big WOW. Phil Mickelson just eagled the 13th hole. Add that to a birdie on 10 and a birdie on 12 and he’s tied for the lead at -6 with Louis Ooosthuizen and Matt Kuchar.
Lee Westwood just 3-putted #9 a few minutes ago, including missing a 1-foot putt. He now is one shot worse than the -4 he started with.
Padraig Harrington birdied five of the last six holes to shoot a 68 and end -4, tied with Mahan.
This is getting crazy.
4:30PM ET
We have a new solo leader, Matt Kuchar at -6 after making birdie on the tough 9th hole.
Meanwhile Rory McIlory is melting down. Rory has gone from -4 to +2 in eight holes. Just watched him 3-putt from about eight feet.
Lee Westwood made bogey on #7 to drop to -4, two shots back.
The leaderboard is so crazy right now it is nearly impossible to blog anything that makes sense.
4:00PM ET
Matt Kuchar is now tied for the lead in the Masters at -5 after making birdie on #7. He’s tied with Jason Dufner and Lee Westwood.
Westwood tied the lead with a birdie on #2.
Rory McIlory is leaking oil. He has dropped three shots now, after doubling #1 and bogeying #5.
Unfortunately, Fred Couples is +4 for his first five holes. He’s dropping fast down the leaderboard.
Hunter Mahan is -4 on the day through 14.
3:00PM ET
Tiger Woods has finished his 3rd round. Woods shot even par for the 3rd, staying at +3. Eight shots off the lead and the leaders haven’t teed off yet. Pretty much hopeless for TW.
Rory McIlory is on the course now and astonishingly has double bogeyed the 1st hole for the 2nd time in three days. McIlory falls back into a logjam of players at -2.
Louis Oosthuizen and Lee Westwood have finished the first hole, both with pars. The 2nd to last group players are still at -4.
Justin Rose is at -3 through 12, two shots off the lead. Others at -3 right now are Bubba Watson, Miguel Angel Jimenez and Sergio Garcia (just bogeyed #1).
Brandt Snedeker has the round of the day going right now. He is -5 through 16 holes. Now at -2 for the Masters.
2:10PM ET
It is moving day. Some players are moving and some like Tiger Woods are not. Tiger is now on the 15th tee and is still at +3, the same number he started with this morning.
Players who ARE moving include Francesco Molinari who started the day at even par and is now -2 through eight holes.
Jim Furyk started the day at =1 and has it to -2 through five holes.
Nick Watney has birdied the 2nd hole and goes from -2 to -3.
The biggest mover so far is Justin rose. Rose started the day at even par for the tournament and has it to -3 after three consecutive birdies on holes 6-7-8.
Phil Mickelson is on the course now. He has just finished the first hole and is at -2.
Charl Schwartzel is moving, but in the wrong direction. He started the day at +3, but is now +6 through 14 holes. Charl is playing with Tiger today.
12:30PM ET
Tiger Woods got off to a hot start this morning. Coming into the round at +3 for the tournament, birdies at #3 and #4 brought him to +1. But he made a bogey on the par-3 6th and is currently at +2 through seven holes.
Graeme McDowell has made up one shot through the 6th hole, going from +3 to… check that. He just made bogey on the 7th. Back to +3.
Brandt Snedeker is making a move on moving day. Birdies at #2 and #3 have brought him from +3 to +1 through seven holes.
Sang Moon-Bae made an eagle on #2 and has moved from +2 to even par through five holes.
Players moving the wrong direction are Bjorn, Karlsson, Verplank and especially Castano (started at +5 and now +10)
