How about Fred Couples at -10, one shot back after the third round was suspended for play. You gotta love this guy, as he is always in great playing form around Master's Week.

Bo Van Pelt at 11-under has a 1 shot lead through eight holes of his third round.

Just before play was suspended Saturday because of darkness.

Fred Couples, Paul Casey, Colt Knost and Tommy Armour III were all at 10 under, going to be
