The 2022 Masters is heading toward an exciting close.

Round 3 wrapped up Saturday, while the final round of this year’s event at Augusta National Golf Club will begin at 10:10 a.m. Sunday.

Here’s everything you need to know:

Who is leading the Masters?

That would be world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler.

Scheffler was dominant in windy conditions on Friday and carried that play into Saturday’s third round. He finished the day with a 1-under 71 to move his tournament total to 9-under.

The ex-Texas Longhorn held a five-shot advantage entering the day and reached as low as 11-under before bogeying three of his final four holes Saturday.

Scheffler is one of five men to hold a five-shot lead after 36 holes. Only one of those players — Harry Cooper (1936) — didn’t win the title.

Who else is in the mix at Augusta National?

Scheffler had a massive advantage heading into the day, but things got tight as the afternoon turned into night.

Australian Cameron Smith fired a 4-under 68 to get his weeklong total to 6-under and just three shots back of Scheffler. Smith was electric on Thursday, notching a 4-under despite double bogeys on 1 and 18. He’ll be a threat on Sunday.

Round 1 leader Sungjae Im is also hanging around. Im struggled on Friday, matching Smith with a 2-over 74. He’s five shots back, but could play himself into a position to strike if Scheffler falls off.

Ireland’s Shane Lowry and South Africa’s Charl Schwartzel — who already has one Masters title to his name — both sit at 2-under for the tournament after Saturday’s action and are conceivably in a place to move up the leaderboard.

Tiger Woods score, tee time Sunday at Masters?

Woods’ story is well-documented by now.

The five-time Masters champion was in a serious car accident that threatened to have his right leg amputated. He’s since fought back over the last 14 months to put himself in a position to play this week.

Woods made the cut at 1-over, but struggled with his putter throughout Saturday’s round. He finished the day with a 6-over 78, in which he bogeyed 16 and 17 and double bogeyed 18. He’s 7-over for the week.

Woods tees off at 10:50 a.m. and is playing with Jon Rahm.

Masters weather in Augusta

Temperatures were in the 30s to start the day but should be near 50 at first tee time of 10:10 a.m. Later Sunday, it’ll be sunny with a high near 73, according to the National Weather Service. Winds will be west 5 to 8 mph in the afternoon.
