The green jacket will be awarded Sunday at the 2017 Masters, but there is a reason Saturday is known as moving day.Whichever player makes a charge in the third round at Augusta National Golf Club will put the pressure on the rest of the field to catch them Sunday in a tournament that hasn't seen many head-turning scoring performances.Sergio Garcia (three-under 69), Rickie Fowler (five-under 67) and Thomas Pieters (four-under 68)impressed Friday and are set up for an important third round. Elsewhere, Charley Hoffman struggled with a three-over 75 but is still fine after a blistering seven-under 65 in the first round.With that in mind, here is a look at the Saturday leaderboard, which will be updated throughout the round, as well as some predictions for those sitting atop the leaderboard through Friday.Leaderboard Charley HoffmanNothing from a statistical standpoint suggests Hoffman will be able to compete with the likes of Garcia and Fowler throughout the entire Masters.According to his PGA Tour profile, he is just 73rd in driving distance, 129th in greens-in-regulation percentage and 175th in strokes gained putting, as of Friday.Still, he is riding the momentum from his incredible Thursday effort when he posted a seven-under 65 as one of only two players to break 70 in the opening round. His descent started Friday with a three-over 75 and could be mirroring last year's Masters effort when he posted a 71 in the first round but finished with a 77, 73 and 74 in the final three and tied for 29th.Hoffman is not going to fall off after such a formidable showing Thursday, but he can only ride one impressive round for so long.Prediction: Hoffman will be outside the top five after Saturday's action.Sergio GarciaGarcia has a golden opportunity to finally get the proverbial monkey off his back and win his first Masters. He has five top-20 performances but has never finished better than his fourth-place tie from 2004.Fowler turns heads as a notable name, but Garcia is not competing with Tiger Woods in his prime with the likes of Hoffman, Pieters and William McGirt in the top five. Garcia is also playing solid golf this season with four top-25 performances and a top-10 showing in six events.According to Garcia's PGA Tour profile, he is first in strokes gained off the tee, third in strokes gained tee-to-green and 13th in greens-in-regulation percentage. His one concern is his putting (193rd in strokes gained putting), but putting won't be a problem if he continues to put it as close as he did on No. 17 during Friday's round, per PGA Tour:Still, the putting will ultimately cost him this green-jacket chance. He does everything else so well he will remain inside the top five, but he won't overcome Fowler during the weekend with the concerning numbers from the green.Prediction: Garcia ends his Saturday round in the top five but no longer atop the leaderboard. Rickie FowlerFowler struggled in the first round, but to his credit, he remained in contention with a one-over 73 on a day few were posting absurdly low scores.He seized his chance Friday with a red-hot outing behind an eagle on No. 2, four birdies and just one bogey. The bogey came on the par-five 15th, which follows since his PGA Tour profile lists him as 27th on par-five scoring compared to third on par-four scoring and 14th on par-three scoring.Despite the bogey, Kelly Tilghman of Golf Channel suggested Fowler is plenty confident heading into winning time:The Masters Tournament shared some of his formidable Friday showing:Fowler will look to his eagle on the par-five second as asource of par-five confidence and continue to tear it up on the par fours. That, combined with his putting (he is ninth in strokes gained putting), will propel Fowler to the top of the Saturday leaderboard.Prediction: Fowler takes the lead into Sunday.Thomas PietersPieters was steady in the first round with an even-par 72 and then turned heads with a four-under 68 Friday, which moved him into a tie for first.In six events this season, he tied for second in the Genesis Open and tied for fifth at the World Golf Championships-Mexico Championship, so he hasn't come out of nowhere even if he isn't an immediately recognizable name for casual golf fans.He discussed his mindset following the second round, per Randall Mell of the Golf Channel: "As with any tournament, I just want to get within three shots on a Sunday afternoon. Then you can really give yourself a chance. It's a bit bold to say you're coming here to win, and then if you don't, you look like a fool. If I just get into contention on Sunday, that's all I want."Still, he is facing an uphill battle in terms of winning the tournament considering Kyle Porterof CBS Sports noted a first-time participant has won just three Masters. Those happened back in 1934 (Horton Smith), 1935 (Gene Sarazen) and 1979 (Fuzzy Zoeller), and Pieters' first win of the season isn't going to break that extended drought.Still, he will be near the top following the third round.Prediction: Pieters is not going to become the first first-time winner since 1979, but his reachable goals will help him manage the pressure of the moment. He will be in the top five still after Saturday's round.
