McIlroy's Masters Win Chances Assessed by Faldo Amidst Strong Competition
According to three-time Masters champion Sir Nick Faldo, seven golfers genuinely have a chance to win the tournament. This assessment comes ahead of a thrilling final Sunday at Augusta National, where six players are within four shots of co-leaders Rory McIlroy and Cameron Young. When considering a six-shot lead, 12 players are within striking distance. Faldo noted that McIlroy's game has been inconsistent, particularly with his tee shots, as he shot a one-over 73 on Saturday. However, if McIlroy can correct his inconsistencies, he may achieve something special. Other contenders include Cam Young, who has gained confidence from winning The Players, and Shane Lowry, who has a proven track record at Augusta National. Justin Rose is also in the running, having finished as a runner-up three times previously. Scottie Scheffler, the current world No 1, has shown his capabilities with a birdie streak and is a serious dangerman. The final round promises to be exciting, with several players having a genuine chance to claim the Green Jacket.
