AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) - LEADING: Dustin Johnson had a 7-under 65 and led by four shots at 16-under 200.

CHASING: Sungjae Im, Abraham Ancer and Cameron Smith were at 12-under 204.

RECORDS: Johnson tied the 54-hole record at the Masters set by Jordan Spieth in 2015. The 36-hole cut was at even-par 144, also a Masters record.

TIGER TALES: Defending champion Tiger Woods was 4 under through his first 10 holes and 1 under over his next 44 holes. He was at 5-under 211.

SHOT OF THE DAY: Johnson hit 5-iron to 2 feet on the par-5 second hole for an eagle.

ROUND TO FORGET: Three-time Masters champion Phil Mickelson matched his worst score at Augusta with a 79.

AMATEUR HOUR: U.S. Amateur champion Andy Ogletree had a 71 and leads the race for low amateur by two shots over John Augenstein, who had a 75.

KEY STATISTIC: Johnson has missed only seven out of 54 greens in regulation and has not made a bogey since the sixth hole of his second round.

WORTH QUOTING: “If I can play like I did today, I think it will break that streak.” - Dustin Johnson on having at least a share of the four majors without converting into a win.
