Find out which five storylines are the most intriguing prior to the final round of the Masters on Sunday, including Dustin Johnson’s quest for the title.

There will be plenty of storylines to watch on Sunday in the Masters. For those who won’t be able to take their eyes off the coverage to those who will be flipping back and forth between the Masters and their favorite NFL game, here are five things to watch on Sunday at Augusta National.

Can Dustin Johnson close out the win?

Johnson has only won one major in his career, that coming at the 2016 U.S. Open. He almost had a second, if not for an incident of grounding his club in a bunker at the 2010 PGA Championship.

Now, he holds a four-shot lead over several players and DJ appears to be ready to claim that second major. Unless he suffers a major collapse, look for Tiger Woods to be placing the green jacket on Johnson late Sunday afternoon.

Which of the “no-names” could catch DJ?

The list of players tied for second is not exactly Murderers Row. Abraham Ancer, Sungjae Im and Cameron Smith are very good players, but all three are four shots behind DJ. Another shot back is Dylan Frittelli, who is 11-under par.

It would take a magnificent round of golf from one of these guys, and probably some help from DJ, in order to catch him.

Who else cold make a name for themselves?

If not one of the players listed above, perhaps it’s Sebastian Munoz. Keep in mind that it was his win last week at the Houston Open that got him into this week’s field.

Now, Munoz is tied for seventh at 9-under par. He’s seven shots behind DJ, but he’s in position to earn himself a return trip to Augusta National next year. Not bad for a guy who was almost at home this week.

Who could go really low?

Outside of the players listed above, someone else would need to go really low to be able to catch Johnson. The list of players still within shouting distance of DJ includes some big names, like Justin Thomas (-10), Jon Rahm (-9), Patrick Reed (-9), Brooks Koepka (-8) and Rory McIlroy (-8).

Again, it’s going to take some help from DJ, but if one of these guys could shoot 63 or 64, it could be very interesting on the back nine on Sunday.

The Tiger factor

While he sits 11 shots behind Johnson, people will still be watching Tiger Woods on Sunday. It would be fun to see him get hot and maybe move from his current 5-under par standing to something like 10-under.
