McIlroy loses Masters lead

A dramatic 'Moving Day' at Augusta National saw Rory McIlroy's seemingly insurmountable advantage evaporate during an error-strewn round of 73.

Cameron Young surged into a share of the lead with a career-low 65, while world number one Scottie Scheffler remains in close contention.

The leaderboard is now tightly packed, with several major champions within four shots of the green jacket.

Sunday's finale promises a high-stakes showdown as McIlroy attempts to become the first back-to-back winner since Tiger Woods.
