Stewart Cink shot an even par in the final round to finish 3rd at The Masters. That was the former Yellow Jacket’s best Masters finish ever (T-10th in 2006.) Only 4 players shot better on Sunday than the former Georgia Tech star. Paired with Tiger Woods, Cink birdied the first 2 holes, then struggled and then finished strong, shooting 2 under down the stretch over the last 7 holes. Overall he finished 4 under par 4 strokes away from the winner, Trevor Immelman.

The former Georgia Bulldog did alright as well. Bubba Watson finished +1 and in a tie for 20th place. After playing well on the front nine (34), his luck ended coming back in (39), but it was a solid effort in his first of many Masters tournaments.

And then there were two…. after the 3rd round of The Masters, Larry Mize failed to make the cut and now we are keeping track of just 2 guys.

Former Georgia Tech star Stewart Cink is looking sharp and has moved up to 6th place after shooting a 71. He will most likely be paired with Tiger Woods (no pressure.)

And the former Bulldog, Bubba Watson is making the University of Georgia proud in his Masters debut. After 3 rounds his is currently 1 over par. The good part of his day (4 birdies) the bad part (5 bogeys.)

Trevor Immelman is your halfway leader at The Masters. He matched his 68 in round one with a 68 in round two.

Locally, Georgia Tech’s Stewart Cink moved up 11 spots and is now tied for 8th after shooting a 69 in the 2nd round. He had just one bogey in the round.

The other Yellow Jacket in the field was not so lucky. Larry Mize shot a 81 and finished +14 and you guessed it missed the cut. Only Fuzzy Zoeller and Gary Player finished worse.

Former Georgia Bulldog Bubba Watson is looking good in his Masters debut. The long hitter is now tied for 21st after his 2nd round score of 71. He had 4 birdies and 3 bogeys in the round.
