Winning any tournament from start to finish is an impressive achievement. To do it at the Masters would confirm Rory McIlroy's reputation as one of, if not the, best young golfers on Tour. However, there is good reason for him to feel anxious too, for the leaderboard is particularly congested and contains some players who could mount a late surge. Here FanHouse looks at those who could beat him to the green jacket.Angel Cabrera -8: The experienced Argentinean is lurking just behind McIlroy after his third round of 67 left him in tied second place. He is a long-hitter and will come into this final round full of confidence having won here before. He said before the star: "I'm playing my 12th Masters and I've won here before but it is very important about how I start. You've got to see how it evolves; how everybody is playing; how the weather is; and depending on that, you start making decisions on what kind of strategy you're going to use." Well, he's studied events of the first three rounds and appears to be making all the right decision.
Charl Schwartzel -8: The South African is an underrated talent and has already won this year at the Joburg Open. His round of 68 also left him on eight under for the tournament. He told a media briefing: "It's going to be an exciting day. I'm really happy the way I played on Saturday. I stuck in there. I took my penalties and made good saves to keep myself in it. I did what I needed to do to give myself a good chance."
