The Masters - day three digest

Everything you need to know from round three at Augusta National.

Rory McIlroy put himself on course to complete the career Grand Slam, Ludvig Åberg bounced back and chips were finding the bottom of the cup from all angles.

Here is everything you need to know from the third round in Georgia.

McIlroy on a mission

Rory McIlroy will take a two-shot lead into the final round as he bids to complete the career Grand Slam. The Northern Irishman made an electrifying start at Augusta National, becoming the first player to make a three on the opening six holes as he swiftly moved into the lead. A second eagle of the day sent the World Number Two four clear at one stage but Bryson DeChambeau finished strongly to close the gap to two. A 66 saw McIlroy reach 12 under, with DeChambeau his nearest challenger after holing a lengthy birdie putt on the last to complete his own six-under round. Corey Conners sits third on eight under after a round of 70. “Obviously it was a dream start to get off to the start that I did,” said McIlroy, who revealed he had spent Saturday morning watching the film Zootopia with his daughter Poppy. “Hit two perfect shots on one and converted, felt like I hit three perfect shots on two, three perfect shots on three. It was such a great way to start, and just to come out of the blocks like that, I think, as well, from finishing yesterday afternoon to teeing off today, it's quite a long time. You know, there's a lot of anticipation and sort of anxious energy that builds up. You just want to get out there and play. With all of that, to go out and start the way I did, was amazing."

Åberg in the mix again

Having finished runner-up on his tournament debut last year, Ludvig Åberg has the chance to contend again on Sunday after a 69 left him six under for the week. "It was nice to bounce back," he said. "As long as you stay patient and disciplined you're going to get some chances here and there."

McIlroy and DeChambeau to resume rivalry

Last time McIlroy and DeChambeau were the last pair out in the final round of a Major, we were treated to a thrilling battle at Pinehurst. Similar drama on Sunday would not go amiss.
