Three-time major champion, Nick Price, shot 70 (−2), for a fourth place tie with Canadian Mike Weir.

Two-time defending champ and three-time Masters champion, Tiger Woods shot a disappointing 76 (+4), ten strokes back.

Five were tied for fifth place at even-par 144, including two former Masters champions in Vijay Singh and José María Olazábal.

Second round leader Weir shot 75 (+3) to fall back to 213 (−3), in solo second place and the final Sunday pairing with Maggert.

Woods matched the round of the day with a 66 (−6) to ascend the leaderboard to keep his bid for three-straight Masters alive.

He teed off forty minutes and four groups ahead of the final pairing,[6] so Mattiace had about an hour between the completion of his round and the start of the playoff.

It marked Mickelson's third straight third-place finish at the Masters (he would win the green jacket in 2004, 2006, and 2010).

Woods' bid for his third straight Masters victory came up well short with a disappointing 75 (+3) for 290 (+2), nine strokes back.
