AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — The final round of the 90th Masters has arrived and it’s anyone’s green jacket to win.
Defending champion Rory McIlroy surrendered a six-shot lead on Saturday and is tied with Players Championship winner Cameron Young for the lead at 11-under 205.
Overall, there are 12 players within six shots of the lead after 19 players shot 69 or better on Saturday and the field broke the overall third-round scoring record.
McIlroy is hoping to become just the fourth player in Masters history to win back-to-back championships and the first since Tiger Woods 24 years ago, but will need a bounce-back round after an erratic 1-over 73 in which he struggled with his driver.
Here’s what you need to know entering the final round of the Masters.
Who’s chasing the leaders?
Sam Burns is one shot behind the co-leaders at 10-under 206, followed by Shane Lowry two shots back in sole possession of fourth place. Jason Day and Justin Rose are three shots back at 8-under 208.
Does Scottie Scheffler have a chance?
He sure does. The two-time Masters champion shot 65 to pull within four shots of the lead as he seeks to become the ninth player to win at least three green jackets. He won here in 2022 and 2024.
Will there be another hole-in-one?
Maybe. Lowry made a hole-in-one on the par-3 sixth hole on Saturday. He became the first player to make two aces in the Masters, the other coming on the 16th hole in 2016.
When does the final round begin?
The final round begins at 9:06 a.m. EDT Sunday, when the pairing of Aaron Rai and Charl Schwartzel tee off. The leaders will tee off at 2:25 p.m.
Here are the tee times.
How do I watch the Masters?
Paramount+ will get coverage started on the final round at noon, and CBS will carry live tournament coverage from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m.
But that’s not all.
The Masters offers live video channels with a menu that includes featured pairings; live action from the fourth, fifth and sixth holes; Amen Corner (Nos. 11-13); and the 15th and 16th holes. Amazon Prime Video will have a stats-enhanced stream on Amen Corner.
Who is the favorite to win now?
McIlroy is still the favorite to win despite his dismal round on Saturday.
He is listed as +155 to win the championship, followed by Young at +240, according to BetMGM Sportsbook. Burns is listed at +700 and Scheffler at +1000 with Rose and Lowry at +1400.
Scheffler was the pre-tournament favorite +600.
