Seven Contenders Emerge for Masters Victory, Can McIlroy Hold On?

Sir Nick Faldo believes seven golfers have a genuine chance of winning the Masters, with Rory McIlroy and Cameron Young currently leading the pack. McIlroy struggled with inconsistency on Saturday, shooting a one-over 73, while Young stormed through the week with a bad start but gained confidence from winning The Players. Other contenders include Shane Lowry, Justin Rose, and Scottie Scheffler, who Faldo considers serious dangermen. The final round is set to be thrilling, with 12 players within striking distance of the lead. McIlroy acknowledged the difficulty of the day, saying he didn't have his best game but still has a great chance of winning. Young is arguably the form man heading into Sunday, having pulled off the biggest win of his career at The Players. Burns, despite being relatively raw in majors, has won five times on the PGA Tour and has twice featured for the USA in the Ryder Cup. Lowry, a major winner, is also in the hunt, having holed out at the par-three sixth tee to cue memorable celebrations. Day and Rose are also contenders, with Rose having been super steady and consistent through the first three rounds. Scheffler, the world No 1, came back with a bang on Saturday, carding a joint-lowest round of 65 to catapult himself into contention. The final round is set to be an exciting conclusion to the Masters, with live coverage starting at 4:30 pm on Sunday on Sky Sports Golf.
