highest in nine years.
“I’m still in the lead. I couldn’t ask for
much better than leading,” Spieth said.
Spieth and Mcllroy will tee off in the
last group today — one going for his sec-
ond green jacket, the other needing one
to complete the ultimate collection of
golf prizes.
Given the conditions — more of the
same is expected today — it felt more
like everyone against Augusta National
than Spieth vs. Mcllroy.
“It would add a lot of excitement and
buzz and atmosphere to the tourna-
ment,” Mcllroy said. “If you start to
think about anyone else ... I’ve only got
the mental capacity to focus on me right
now, especially how tough it is out
there.”

PGA Tour: The Masters
By Doug Ferguson

AUGUSTA, Ga. — The final pairing
for a weekend at the Masters is what ev-
eryone wanted — Jordan Spieth and
Rory Mcllroy, winners at four of the last
six majors.
But nobody expected this kind of an
Augusta National.
In the toughest scoring conditions at
the Masters in nearly a decade, Spieth
had a five-shot lead that nearly disap-
peared before he saved par from a bun-
ker with a 15-foot putt on the final hole
for a 2-over 74 and a one-shot lead over
Mcllroy.
“It was very tough to stay cool,”
Spieth said. “You could say, ‘Looked like
you got emotional out there.’ I mean,
you guys try it. That was a hard golf
course.”
Mcllroy, who trailed by as much as
eight shots at one point, put the career
a.
Grand Slam in clear view by making
birdie on both par 5s on the back nine
and picking up a bonus birdie with a
40-foot putt on the par-316th for a 71.
That matched the lowest round of
the day, the first time since 2007that no
one broke 70 at the Masters.
“You just have to look at the scores
and you can see how tough it is today”
Mcllroy said.
Spieth set a Masters record with his
sixth straight round in the lead, and it
took a few minutes for him to appreci-
ate that after trying to survive gusts that
reached 30 mph and a course so crusty
that even 2-foot putts made him ner-
vous.

on Friday in Augusta, Ga.
He was at 4-under 140, the highest
36-hole to lead at Augusta since 2007.

After a crushing loss a week ago to
District 5-6As top team, Keller, Guyer
coach Keith Medford made it clear he
wanted to see his team bounce back
from a heartbreaking, back-and-forth
loss to a team it was chasing in the
standings.
Consider that goal accomplished.

The Lady Wildcats won their second
straight game since the defeat against
another team nipping at their heels in
the district by beating Keller Fossil
Ridge 5-0 on Friday night with an over-
all crisp effort.
“I’m extremely happy with this win,”
Medford said. ‘We always talk about
the process. It’s real easy to get wrapped
up in winning or losing. You get in trou-
ble when you start doing that. We’ve re-
ally focused on the process. Even in
games we’ve won, there’s been things
we didn’t feel real good about. Tonight
was awesome in every aspect.”
It all started in the circle with junior
Grace Wills, who at times this season
has been an unhittable force for Guyer
and at other times has been a model of
inefficiency. On Friday, it was all the for-
mer.
