Collin Morikawa second, Max Homa third entering Sunday's Final Round at 88th Masters

Collin Morikawa has never won the Masters.

Max Homa has never won a golf major.

Byeong Hun An has never won on the PGA tour.

All three former Cal golfers will step onto the course at Augusta National on Sunday still among the top 10 entering the final round of the 88th Masters.

Morikawa, 27, who owns victories at the PGA Championship and the British Open, climbed from a tie for fifth place to sole possession of second on Saturday after carding a 3-under 69, leaving him at 6 under and one stroke back of world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler.

“Look, tomorrow, anything could happen. There’s still a lot of guys right beneath us,” Morikawa told reporters, according to Golf Digest. “We don’t know what conditions are going to be like. The greens are getting firmer than I’ve ever seen out here. So it’s going to play a lot different from kind of what we’ve seen the first two rounds.

“I mean, today, as the round was going through, you could just tell the greens were just completely changing,” he said. “Tomorrow it’s going to be even that much more bouncy, fast. Like I said, I’ve never seen the course like this. It was kind of leading up to that as the week started. We got some rain Thursday, but right now is probably exactly where Augusta wants it. And I think some holes, some approach shots might have to be tweaked based on where I am and what clubs I’m hitting versus previous years for me.”

Homa, 33, who shared the top spot with Scheffler and Bryson DeChambeau after two rounds, shot a 73 and dipped to third place at 5 under, two strokes back of the leader.

And An, 32, still seeking his first victory on the tour 13 years after his one-and-done stop at Cal, slipped marginally from a seven-way tie for eighth place to a four-way share of ninth after a third-round score of even-par 72 that leaves him at minus-1 for the tournament.

All three ex-Golden Bears fared much better than five-time Masters champion and erstwhile Stanford star Tiger Woods, who blew up with an 82 — his worst-ever round at the Masters — and sunk to a tie for 52nd place, 17 strokes off the lead.

Scheffler, the 2022 Masters champion, is atop the field after a Saturday performance that included a double-bogey 6 on No. 10, then an eagle on the 13th and, finally, a birdie on No. 18.

Morikawa’s day began with three consecutive birdies and the world’s 20th-ranked player made bogey on No. 6 and a birdie on No. 8 before shooting pars on 9 through 18. 

Morikawa is the only player in the field to have completed all three rounds with scores under par.

Homa, ranked No. 11 in the world, played a remarkably steady round with pars on 17 holes against a lone bogey on No. 12. He hasn't made a birdie his past 32 holes.

An was 2 over before assembling birdies on Nos. 16 and 17 to level at even par for the day.

Sunday’s final-round pairings have Morikawa and Scheffler going off last at 11:35 a.m. PDT, immediately after Homa and Ludvig Aberg at 11:25 a.m. An and Cameron Smith are paired for a 1:55 p.m. tee time.

Woods, 48, who made his record 24th consecutive cut at the Masters, struggled through a gruesome third round that included eight bogeys and back-to-back double-bogeys on Nos. 7 and 8.
