Overview
- Following Saturday's volatile third round, Rory McIlroy and Cameron Young are tied at 11 under heading into Sunday's finish at Augusta National.
- McIlroy shot 73 and saw his six-shot cushion vanish after a watery approach led to double bogey on 11 and a bogey at 12.
- Young closed an eight-shot gap with a 7-under 65, briefly led late, and signed for the day’s benchmark round to share the top spot.
- Sam Burns is one back at 10 under, Shane Lowry sits two behind at 9 under after an ace at the sixth, and Scottie Scheffler is four off the lead at 7 under after a bogey-free 65.
- Fourteen players are within six shots to start the final round, and McIlroy’s bid for back-to-back titles remains alive in a club that includes Jack Nicklaus, Nick Faldo and Tiger Woods.
