 AUGUSTA, Ga. – Former Kansas golfer Gary Woodland shot a 74 in the third round of the Masters and dropped into a tie for 38th-place heading into Sunday’s final round.

Woodland, who played at Kansas from 2004-07, is even for the tournament after shooting 69, 73 and 74.

Woodland’s third round consisted of four bogeys and two birdies.  He opened the day with a bogey, but responded with a birdie on the second hole.  After four straight pars, he bogeyed consecutive holes before closing the front nine with a birdie.

His back nine showed eight pars along with a bogey on the par-three 12^th hole.

Woodland was paired with Phil Mickelson for the third round.  Mickelson shot 71 Saturday and is at three-under for the tournament to tie for 18^th place.
