Masters Sunday is upon us once more, with the 2026 edition of golf’s prestigious first major of the year set for a typically thrilling conclusion at Augusta.
What had looked to be turning into a shockingly straightforward procession for Rory McIlroy now looks anything but, with the defending champion seeing his record six-shot lead after 36 holes quickly disappear in a difficult third round .
World No2 McIlroy made a mess of Amen Corner during a rollercoaster day and wound up shooting a one-over 73, which was only good enough to see him head into round four tied at the top of the leaderboard.
Sam Burns and Shane Lowry are also firmly in the hunt, as are Jason Day and Justin Rose, who McIlroy beat in that remarkable play-off 12 months ago to claim a green jacket at long last and complete a career grand slam.
Also hitting a seven-under 65 on Saturday was a certain Scottie Scheffler, who is in the mix at four shots adrift along with Haotong Li.
