The weekend table is set for what has the potential to be a remarkable 89th Masters.

Justin Rose clung to the top of the board with a 1-under 71, finishing at 8-under and with the overnight night for the ninth time in his 20 Masters – a record for a player without a victory. But stellar list of chasers is hot on the heels of the 44-year-old Englishman.
