Jordan Spieth heads into the final two rounds of the 79th Masters seeking not to win a first Augusta National green
jacket and if successful, become the second youngest winner of the Masters.

Here is what his Masters rivals have been saying:

Ernie Els

“Jordan is playing unbelievably well and obviously we’re all watching the leader-board. But we know how far there is
to go. Front runners tend to do well here, but there have been some really good comebacks, so it’s a big weekend ahead. He’s not thinking about anything right now and that’s a great place to be at.”

“I was watching, of course. I think you had to pay attention to what he’s been doing because, one, it’s indicative of what
the golf course is giving up.

Henrik Stenson

“Definitely an old head on young shoulders, isn’t he? He’s playing strategically. He’s playing very mature. And, yeah,
not making too many mistakes, and you can just sense that he’s coming in here with some great form and a bit of wind
in his sails. But when you do make a mistake, and he’s been out in the trees a couple of times, but there’s been a shot
there for him and he’s taken it and done great from there.

“Almost holed out on 14 yesterday from the pine straw and hit a great shot and almost made birdie on 7. He’s been off
a couple of times, but made some great recovery shots. And he hit it in the trees on 13, it bounced back down on the fairway, laid it up and pitch and a putt and makes the birdie.

He’s taking his chances when he gets them. And just keep on pouring birdies when he’s doing the good stuff. So in my opinion it’s __ we want to see how the leader board looks at the end of the day, but right now he’s in a great position
given how solid he’s playing and putting.

You get those nice breaks, as well, so all credit and he’s playing great.”

Justin Rose

“I had not been aware of what a special couple of rounds he’s put in.  “To be 14-under, the golf course really isn’t playing that easy. I know we’ve had it a little bit soft. But there was some bounce in it today and there’s been enough breeze where it’s tricky and we’ve played every inch of this golf course today. The tees were way, way back. It was playing really long. That’s some special golf he’s put in.”

Jason Day

“I can’t control what he’s doing right now. If he’s going to go out and play and shoot a record setting, you know, tournament,, then obviously that’s just in his hands.

“The only way I can do it is just try and give myself the opportunities and find something on the range this afternoon
to really commit and trust my swing.”
