Patrick Reed fired two late eagles on a rain-softened Augusta National course to seize a three-shot lead over Rory McIlroy after the third round of the Masters on Saturday.
Reeds 5-under par 67 for a 14-under total of 202 through 54 holes was his third straight round in the 60s and more than enough to keep him atop the leaderboard in search of his first major title, even as McIlroy, Rickie Fowler and Jon Rahm all posted 7-under par 65s.
"I think the biggest thing is just going out and playing golf, trying not to let the moment overwhelm me," said Reed, who notched his first top-10 at a major last August at the PGA Championship.
"I feel like Im hitting the ball well enough, I feel like Im putting well enough. I just need to go out and play the game."
"It was breaking so hard to the left, I couldnt tell if it was going to go in or if it was just going to burn edges," Reed said. "It was right in the middle."

"Then hitting the tree on 18 and coming back in the fairway and making a birdie from that -- hopefully I dont have to rely on it too much tomorrow."
