The final round of the Masters is coming Sunday, and Rory McIlroy is most definitely still in the running.
AUGUSTA, Ga. — Oh, Rory. He’s doing it again, to himself, and to us.
The defending Masters champion showed up for the third round at Augusta National Golf Club with the largest 36-hole lead in tournament history.
In less than three hours on the course, it was gone.
But Rory McIlroy is Rory McIlroy and the Masters is the Masters, so the story of his day was far from over. A half hour later, he was back in the lead by himself.
Did that last? No it did not.
