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 Åberg. 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.
