The 2026 Masters Saturday pin sheet has been released for the third round, when we'll start the process to determine a new Masters champion. The Saturday hole locations at Augusta National Golf Club aren't as well known as the traditional Sunday hole locations, and they can sometimes vary throughout the years.
Let's look at the hole locations (pin placements) as selected by the Masters Tournament Committee.
2026 Masters Saturday third round pin placements
Some things to note:
- The hole location for the 1st hole is a red flag for almost any player, as the risk of going long presents a big problem.
- The pin on the 2nd is great for potential eagles, running just up the throat of the green.
- The 11th hole features a hole location that puts the water in play on the left for players that choose to go flag hunting.
- The 12th hole location move left and more parallel to the bunker, meaning a smart shot is a little deep or a little left of the flag.
- The hole location on the 15th requires a player to somehow hold the back third of the green in two, which is a tough ask. Balls will go in the water on the pond at No. 16 today.
- The hole location on No. 16 is the toughest players will see this week, up on the shelf in the back right of the green.
