Deadspin
Tiger doesn't look like he wants to be a part of it, but we're going to have quite a finish to the Masters anyway. Phil Mickelson continues to lead by one stroke. He's at -6, with Freddie Couples one stroke behind and Jose Maria Olazabal and Vijay Singh two back.
Meltdown of the day, however, goes to Rocco Mediate on the par-3 12th. Rocco's drive came up short and found the creek. His second shot from the drop area also found the creek. He blasted his next one 10 yards over the green into a bunker. And CBS didn't show it, but he must've hit it into the water at least once more, because he finished with a 10 on the hole. Difficult to watch. Sorry Roc.
Rocco fell back to +4 on the tournament and is tied for 27th. He's played out of his mind all week, screws up one hole, and it's all gone. Cost himself a few hundred thousand, and probably some exemptions. Ouch.
Leaders are in the middle of Amen Corner right now.

He had another odd event at the 15th hole in the morning's third round. His back foot came out from under him on his second shot into the green. He almost fell over.
"Ouch" That sucks.
