Overview
- Following Saturday's third round at Augusta National, Rory McIlroy and Cameron Young are tied at 11 under, with Sam Burns one back, Shane Lowry two, Jason Day and Justin Rose three, and Scottie Scheffler and Haotong Li four.
- McIlroy, who led by six after 36 holes, posted a 73 with four birdies, three bogeys, and a double bogey at the 11th that wiped out his cushion.
- Young matched the week's best score with a 65 built on eight birdies and one bogey, hitting 16 greens in regulation to draw level.
- World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler surged with a bogey-free 65 that opened with an eagle at the par-5 2nd and moved him to seven under.
- The cut landed at four over par on Friday, which Jon Rahm matched to advance, but a 73 on Saturday left the 2023 champion at five over and well off the pace.
