The Englishman's final-round 66 at Augusta National earned him the clubhouse lead for several hours on Sunday. At the start of the day, Hatton would have given up a lot to put himself in such a situation, but nothing more important than a nice cold beer.

We have some good news and some bad news for Hatton, who will take home top LIV honors for the week. The bad? Scottie Scheffler just officially eliminated Hatton from contention, finishing his tournament at 11-under-par. The good? Hatton can crack that beer now.

He had to WD from the Players Championship with a back injury and came into the week knowing that he'd literally slap the ball around with only a 50 percent effort. The first round was an ugly 74 that Morikawa called the "toughest" of his career, but he shot 11 under the rest of the way and finished T-7. He said he awoke each day just wanting to get through his round. "This blew by any expectations I had for the week," Morikawa said. "Trust me, it's going to be one of the best tournaments forever. I'm going to remember this one for many reasons, but just more how strong the mind is, to be able to go out and convince yourself that everything is going to be OK."

As Li made an utter mess of Amen Corner, with a triple-bogey 6 on No. 12 and a 10(!) on 13, Scheffler was forced to wait for minutes on end, and didn’t make his run until he got to No. 15. Lest you think it doesn’t play a role, Bubba Watson suggested several years ago that certain pairings can cost players up to two shots. “Yes, it matters tremendously,” Watson said in 2020. “There's guys that are a shot, maybe a two-shot penalty when you see their name on that sheet.”

The real drama of the back nine is now upon us with our leaders hitting their tee shots on 12. And oddsmakers tell us it's down to two players even with this crowded leader board. Rory McIlroy moved to a -156 favorite (meaning you'd bet $156 to win $100) after hitting his approach to about 7 feet at 12. Rory wasn't the favorite for most of Sunday, first trailing Cameron Young then Justin Rose atop the board. Young also found the green at 12 and is +340 to win as he trails McIlroy by one for now. Rose moved to +270 and the second favorite after finding the green in 2 on 13. Scottie Scheffler is a very distant +1900 fater failing to birdie 13.

The odds will change dramatically throughout the nine, but a quick look at what oddsmakers think is always a good reset.

Just minutes after the defending Masters champ reclaimed a share of the lead with a birdie on No. 3, he made his most shocking stumble of the week yet. McIlroy missed the green way left at the par-3 fourth—he's been battling a left miss all week—but seemed to have gotten away with it after a beautiful pitch to about five feet. But he ran his par attempt three feet by and lipped out the comebacker for a shocking double to drop two shots behind Cam Young. 

Following a Sunday outburst on the second tee box in which he repeatedly smashed his driver, the 2017 Masters champ was approached by Geoff Yang, the chairman of the competition committee as he walked off the fourth tee. Garcia talked to the media after completing a final-round 75 and admitted he was "not super proud" of the incident, but wouldn't reveal what was discussed. "I'm not going to tell you," the 46-year-old Spaniard said. Since winning the green jacket, Garcia has missed the cut in six of eight starts at Augusta National.
