Masters Tournament: Seven Golfers Have a Realistic Chance of Winning
According to Sir Nick Faldo, a three-time Masters champion, seven golfers have a genuine chance of winning the tournament. This assessment comes ahead of the final round at Augusta National, where six players are within four shots of co-leaders Rory McIlroy and Cameron Young. If the scope is broadened to six shots, 12 players are within striking distance. Faldo noted that McIlroy's game has been inconsistent, particularly off the tee, where he struggled on Saturday, shooting a one-over 73. However, if McIlroy can correct his game, he has a chance to achieve something special. Other contenders include Cam Young, who has stormed through the week after a bad start, and Shane Lowry, who is on a mission after last year's third runners-up finish. Justin Rose is also in the mix, having been super steady and consistent through the first three rounds. Scottie Scheffler, the world No 1, came back strong on Saturday, carding a joint-lowest round of 65 to catapult himself into contention. The final round is set to be thrilling, with live coverage starting at 4:30 pm on Sunday on Sky Sports Golf.
