One of the great pleasures of following golf at The Masters is witnessing dramatic shifts in rankings as players navigate Augusta National Golf Club’s challenging course. Birdies, eagles, and even unfortunate double bogeys can directly impact player standings and add an extra layer of intrigue to the tournament. And keeping track of these changes is easy thanks to The Masters leaderboard, which tracks player rankings in real time throughout the week.
Bryson DeChambeau remains the man closest to McIlroy in his pursuit of a green jacket. He didn’t blow past expectations in Round 3, but he was still among the best in the field and a solid finish on the final hole at Amen Corner should make him feel confident about his chances going into Sunday’s final round.
Rory McIlroy and Justin Rose are tied on 11 under after a thrilling third round at The Masters. Both are playing superbly and will be hoping for a little luck in the final round.
The Northern Irishman’s approach to the 13th’s deceptively difficult par three is perfect but he overly flirts with the water on the way down and has to settle for a bogey. He’s back in the hunt though, and a birdie at the 16th puts him just three shots behind Rose.
Scottie Scheffler was the biggest mover up the leaderboard on Saturday as he climbed up to six under. He was joined by Corey Conners and Ludvig Aberg, with a group of previous major winners just two shots further back including McIlroy.
