Masters notebook
NO RESPECT: There was a little confusion over which Kelly was in Saturday's next-to-last pairing.
Amateur John Kelly's name was originally put up on the sign on the first tee, but the mistake was soon discovered when Jerry Kelly made his way onto the tee for his 2:50 p.m. pairing with Vaughn Taylor.
"I'm telling you, I don't get any respect," Jerry Kelly said in his best Rodney Dangerfield voice.
When a volunteer returned with the right name, he said jokingly, "That's J-e-r-r-y."
Kelly, from Wisconsin, then went out in cold conditions and shot 6-over-par 78, which has him tied for eighth, four shots back.
"I practice all winter in it, and usually it's below zero," he said. "It can be zero degrees or it can be 20, I am used to it. I do know how to prepare for it."
IN THE MIX: Zach Johnson, who played in the third-to-last group Saturday at the Masters Tournament, said he could barely feel his hands the last five or six holes.
Johnson shot 4-over-par 76, a score good enough to keep him two shots back of the lead entering today's final round.
"If you're trying to find the beauty in it, it's that it's a matter of survival, which I don't mind," Johnson said. "I don't mind the grind. That's how I've always been."
Johnson said he would spend time with his family Saturday night - and probably change a few of his young son's diapers.
"I'm trying not to get emotional about it all," he said. "If I get nervous, I get nervous, and I'll accept the nerves."
PADDY'S BACK: Padraig Harrington followed his second-round 68 with a solid 75 Saturday, leaving him two back entering the final round.
Harrington, whose best Masters showing is a fifth-place tie in 2002, said he had the right mind-set entering this year's tournament for the first time in a while.
"I got off on the right foot getting my head in the right place going into the event," Harrington said.
"And it's nice to see a challenge like this sometimes. It's good to see the golf course showing its full teeth."
Harrington used consecutive up-and-downs for pars at Nos. 7, 8 and 9 to help save his round.
STILL LURKING: Jim Furyk hung around Saturday, posting a 4-over-par 76, and is four shots back entering the final round.
Three times on Saturday, he had wedge shots into greens and made bogey. Still, he said he hopes it plays tough today.
"Even tougher conditions is what I'd like, but I'm not that sadistic either," Furyk said. "I'm not sure I'd ever want to go through another round like today's."
HANGING IN: Welshman Bradley Dredge, the 50th-place finisher on the World Golf Ranking at the end of last year, shot 76 to finish 5-over par, three shots back.
The first-timer said he doesn't know any better than these conditions and that they suit him.
"I prefer it this way. I hope it's as tough as they can make it because I'm more of a grinder," Dredge said. "It probably suits my game a little bit more."
GLOOMY GLOVER: Former Clemson golfer Lucas Glover worked his way into a tie for second at one point Saturday, but a back nine 43 led to 79.
Playing the weekend at Augusta National for the first time, however, kept Glover in a tie for 19th.
"I don't feel like there's a low enough number out there (Sunday) to catch everybody ahead of me," he said.
"But now I can set my sights on finishing solid and earning a chance to drive back down Magnolia Lane next year."
The top 16 players and ties earn an automatic invitation to next year's tournament.
