AUGUSTA, Ga. -- All talk entering Masters week centered around the Big Four, but Chris DiMarco could be turning the world's elite into Gator bait.
Coming off two straight rounds of 67, the former University of Florida golfer birdied the second, seventh and eighth holes of the third round to move to 13 under, four shots up on Tiger Woods.
DiMarco hasn't made bogey since his first hole on Thursday.
Woods made four birdies in his first eight holes on Saturday afternoon to claim sole possession of second place.
Thomas Bjorn is at 8 under, playing in the final pairing with DiMarco.
Just behind them are some other big names.
Top-ranked Vijay Singh birdied two straight near the back of his front nine to move to 5 under, along with Mark Hensby and Trevor Immelman, who started with a 31 on the back nine and currently has six birdies in his round.
And defending champion Phil Mickelson is part of a group at 3 under, in seventh place.
Ernie Els, the fourth member of the Big Four, made the cut, but is mired at 6 over for the tournament.
