McIlroy Leads Masters, Closes in on Career Grand Slam

Rory McIlroy has taken a commanding position at the Masters, leading by two strokes after a historic start featuring six consecutive 3s and two eagles, including one on the challenging par-5 15th hole. McIlroy's performance on Saturday included a second consecutive round of 6-under 66, putting him 12-under overall and just one round away from completing the career Grand Slam. His closest competitor, Bryson DeChambeau, who previously defeated McIlroy at the U.S. Open, delivered a strong performance with a final birdie putt for a 69, narrowing the gap. McIlroy, aware of his past struggles at Augusta, is focused on maintaining his composure as he aims to secure his first major title in over a decade. Canadian Corey Conners sits in third place, four shots back, after a steady round. The final round promises to be a thrilling showdown at Augusta National, with McIlroy's long-awaited major victory within reach.
