Last night it appeared as though the 2026 Masters might be effectively over as Rory McIlroy took an historic six-stroke lead. But a rough outing on Saturday amid several golfers surging to the top has turned the Masters into a dead heat.

McIlroy shot a 73 after a pretty rough start to his back nine that included a double-bogey on the 11th hole. Meanwhile, Cameron Young surged with a score of 65 that lifted him from seventh all the way to a share of the clubhouse lead.

Young was far from the only golfer who had an explosive third round. Scottie Scheffler rebounded from Friday's 74 with a 65 of his own, while Patrick Cantlay and Russell Henley both enjoyed six birdies apiece without a bogey.

Heading into the final round of the Masters, there are now 20 golfers within seven strokes of the lead. If any of them score a 65 like McIlroy, Young or Scheffler have this tournament, the green jacket could be theirs.
