Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy is on the brink of an extraordinary achievement at Augusta National Golf Club.
In the third round of The Masters 2025, McIlroy shot a remarkable 6-under-par 66 to take a two-stroke lead over Bryson DeChambeau. This performance was marked by his historic start, becoming the first player in tournament history to shoot 5 under through the first five holes.
McIlroy, seeking to complete a career grand slam and claim his first major win since 2014, logged two eagles during the round and heads into the final day with a 12-under total. While Bryson DeChambeau remains close at 10 under, the competition from other players such as Corey Conners (8 under), Patrick Reed, and Sweden’s Ludvig Aberg (both tied at 6 under) promises an electrifying showdown.
The final round will undoubtedly be an emotional rollercoaster for McIlroy, as the stakes have never been higher. All eyes are on the Northern Irishman as he fights to seize his elusive Masters title.
