McIlroy's 6-stroke lead has vanished and this Masters is now up for grabs

Rory McIlroy finally left an opening and several other players charged back into contention in the third round of the Masters.
That set up a potentially pulsating Sunday finish at Augusta National, where McIlroy and Cameron Young share the lead but six other players are now within four shots.
McIlroy's 73 Saturday cost him what was a six-stroke lead through 36 holes.
McIlroy is No. 2 in the world rankings, one spot ahead of Young.
The last time two of the top three players in the ranking were in the final group at the Masters was 2001, when Tiger Woods was No. 1 and Phil Mickelson was No. 2.
