McIlroy Faces Stiff Competition for Masters Win as Seven Golfers Remain in Contention

According to three-time Masters champion Sir Nick Faldo, seven golfers have a genuine chance to win the Masters, with six players within four shots of co-leaders Rory McIlroy and Cameron Young. McIlroy, the defending champion, struggled off the tee on Saturday, shooting a one-over 73, while Young stormed his way through the week after a bad start, gaining confidence from his recent win at The Players. Other contenders include Shane Lowry, who holed out at the par-three sixth tee, Justin Rose, who has been consistent throughout the tournament, and Scottie Scheffler, who came back strong on Saturday with a joint-lowest round of 65. The final round is set to be thrilling, with 12 players within striking distance of the lead.
