McIlroy lead vanishes at Masters

McIlroy lead vanishes at Masters

Entering 'Moving Day' with a commanding advantage, McIlroy struggled with erratic driving and uncharacteristic errors, finishing with a 73.

Cameron Young capitalised on the champion’s wobble, firing a 7-under-par round to join him at 11-under overall.

The leaderboard is now tightly packed, with world number one Scottie Scheffler and Ireland’s Shane Lowry both within striking distance.

Lowry made Masters history by becoming the first player to record two career holes-in-one at the tournament, acing the par-three sixth hole.
