Masters Round Three: Rory McIlroy Leads Going Into Final Round at Augusta

Filed under: ,

Saturday is always referred to as golf's moving day and there was plenty of movement at the top of the leaderboard at Augusta - apart from in first place.

First and second round leader Rory McIlroy, who had started this tournament in such blistering fashion, saw his momentum slow at the start of his third round.

Maybe it was the pressure of leading the Masters that disrupted the young Northern Irishman's flow.

However, the 21-year-old showed maturity beyond his years and played some excellent golf on his way to a steady 70 that kept him in top spot.

Only a series of unlucky putts stopped him from pulling further away from the chasing field but he ended with a four shot advantage on 12 under for the tournament.
