"moving day" begins in several hours. The great thing about the Masters is anyone has a chance. Someone always goes low on Saturday and makes a big move & some of the guys close to the lead will collapse. There are a lot of big scores out there and a few guys will score.
I think it's hard not to like Rory's chances. He drives the ball so long and straight. If his putter stays solid, I like his chances.

The tournament typically starts with about 100 players, this year was a bit smaller. It's the smallest field of the 4 major golf tournaments and the only one held on the same course each year.
The tournament is 4 rounds - 1 round per day. After the first two rounds, the field is narrowed (usually by about half or anyone within 10 stokes of the leader make the cut). Those who make "the cut" after the first two rounds play both Saturday and Sunday rounds. The order of play on Saturday & Sunday is based on position. The leaders tee of last and so on.

No. Due to an odd number of players making the cut, Bubba will not play with a fellow competitor. However, he won't play alone. He play with what's called a marker.
Great story about Jeff Knox, he's been a marker at Augusta since 2003 and has beaten his share of tour pros ...
