12 players within 6 shots of the lead entering 4th round of Masters

A Masters-record third-round average of 70.63 left 12 players within six shots of the lead.

  • Defending champion Rory McIlroy saw his six-shot lead evaporate on Saturday, leaving him tied with Cameron Young at 11-under 205 heading into Sunday's final round.
  • Saturday served as a historic 'moving day' at Augusta National, with the field recording a record-low average score of 70.63 as 10 players shot 68 or better.
  • Shane Lowry made a hole-in-one at the par-3 sixth, becoming the first player in Masters history with two career aces at Augusta National, while a dozen players now sit within six shots of the lead.
  • Jason Day, at 8 under, said "I'm the chaser," noting chasers face less pressure than leaders, while Young planned to focus on managing his reaction to Saturday's events.
  • Sunday's final round remains wide open, with Justin Rose recalling his playoff loss to McIlroy last year, saying this time it feels like a "free run" at the title.
