Rory McIlroy’s Masters lead vanishes, Cameron Young pulls into tie on Saturday at the Masters

Rory McIlroy turned what looked like a triumphant march toward another green jacket into a potentially drama-filled Sunday at the Masters.
The defending champion rode a roller coaster third round Saturday to a 73 that dropped him from a six-shot lead after Friday into a tie with Cameron Young at 11 under.
They're not alone, either.
Sam Burns is one shot back, and five others are within four shots of the lead, including Scottie Scheffler, the world No. 1.
McIlroy finally appeared to overcome his Augusta National demons last year when he recovered from some final-round mistakes to beat Justin Rose in a playoff.
Will he be able to handle the pressure again?
