Masters: Dustin Johnson takes an option on victory. Perez 52nd

Will Dustin Johnson don the green jacket on Sunday night in Augusta? The American, currently world No. 1, is doing everything for anyway since he is in charge of the tournament with a score of -16 (200). In this Moving day, he returned a sublime 65 (-7) card, the second in three turns. This allows him to be four points ahead of a trio made up of South Korean Sungjae Im, Mexican Abraham Ancer and Australian Cameron Smith. South African Dylan Frittelli, 67 (-5) today, is only fifth at -11. The big loser of this 3rd round is called Justin Thomas who has to be content with a 71 (-1). He is in sixth place at -10 (206), six shots from the head. Jon Rahm and Patrick Reed follow at -9. Suffice to say that unless there is a miracle, these two will not win this Sunday. Author of a very heavy 76 (+4) with six bogeys against a single birdie, Victor Perez tumbles to 52nd place at +1 (217).
