McIlroy Chokes, Young Surges

Defending champion Rory McIlroy struggled with his driving and iron play, finishing with a 1-over 73 that wiped out his historic advantage.

Cameron Young took full advantage of the stumble, surging into a tie for the lead heading into the final round.

World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler also climbed back into contention with a 65, sitting just four shots back.

The stage is set for a high-stakes Sunday as multiple players remain within striking distance of the green jacket.
