Masters Meltdown: McIlroy's Historic Lead Vanishes, Setting Up Sunday Showdown
The final round of the Masters Tournament is set for a dramatic conclusion after Rory McIlroy's once-massive lead completely disappeared on Saturday.
McIlroy began the day with a record six-shot advantage. By the end of the third round, he was tied with American Cameron Young at 11 under par. Their collapse created a wide-open leaderboard.
Scottie Scheffler, the world's top-ranked golfer, is now just one shot behind the leaders. He is tied with two other players, including the surprising contender Ludvig Γ
berg. The Swedish golfer, playing in his first major championship, surged into contention.
Sunday's final round will now feature a tense battle among several of the world's best golfers, all within a few strokes of the lead.
