Hole-by-hole updates from the fourth day at AugustaAny thoughts? Feel free to mail Scott | Official leaderboard
One way or another, there’s going to be a lot of heightened emotion today. So let’s start with one of the most romantic stories of the week. Neal Shipley, 23 years old from Pittsburgh, is the only amateur to have made it through to the weekend, thanks in no small part to a one-under first round of 71. That guaranteed him the Silver Cup and title of low amateur, but if his head hadn’t already been swimming, being paired with Tiger Woods on Masters Sunday would have done the trick. And how he’s performed. He’s level par for his round through 16, having just birdied 15 and nearly slam-dunked an ace on the following hole. What a fine performance by last year’s US Amateur runner-up. He’s +11 overall.
Here we go, then!
