Cameron Young surged into contention at the Masters on Saturday, finishing the third round tied for the lead with Rory McIlroy. Young’s impressive 7-under 65 moved him from eight shots behind to within reach of the Green Jacket, while McIlroy experienced a stumble that opened the door for challengers.
The defending champion will attempt to overcome a previous six-shot lead collapse as he enters the final round alongside Young at Augusta National. McIlroy is seeking to become only the fourth golfer to win back-to-back Masters titles, joining Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus and Nick Faldo.
The tournament is poised for a dramatic finish after McIlroy lost the largest 36-hole lead in Masters history. He and Augusta National will have one final round on Sunday to determine the champion.
