TL;DR Summary

Rory McIlroy’s six-shot Masters lead evaporated as Cameron Young shot 65 to surge into a tie for the 54-hole lead, forcing a Sunday finale in a stacked group that also includes Sam Burns, Shane Lowry (who earned a historic two holes-in-one in Masters history), Jason Day, and Justin Rose. McIlroy struggled with a costly double at the 11th after opening the day with bogeys, while Young rode momentum and a few fortuitous breaks to reduce the margin; Scottie Scheffler remains four back as Augusta National prepares for a dramatic final round.
