Augusta, g. – Rory Mcilroy went a roaring start at Augusta National on Saturday and became the first player in Masters History Sleep Round with six straight three.
He joined the leadership at 9 -after he had beaten Eagle from Beyond the Green on the par -5 2nd, and woke up to roar that the Belfast might have heard in his native country. McIlroy led with no less than four after making par on the 7th and will now give a two-shot ahead of Bryson Deschambeau, Hismesis from US Open from last year, to 54 holes.
But many others will enter the last round of Sunday with a chance, hoping to charge the Leaderboard. One of them happens to be Jason Day, the PGA Championship winner of 2015, who has carded rounds of 70, 70 and 71 over the Cruple three days. He has played steady wave and is 5 -under par through three rounds, seven back of McCilroy.

“Sunday in Augusta is different from any other tournament,” said McIlroy.
“You just never know what Coul may happen. I myself the best chance tomorrow and I emphasize hopefully on sub of the putts.”
Fourteen years AG gave McIlroy a lead of four shots through 54 holes, but shot a final round 80 to finally bind 15th. Charl Schwartzel won the, and funny enough, day had a good chance as everyone else to claim a green jacket that year.
“He clearly plays SUM Good Golf, so you have to do the best work you can do, and when Subrone just clearly plays better – I have been on the receiving side of a few of those who run away with it, congress when I ended,” Day explained, “Day explained.
“But that saying, it’s great to look at Scholaze that you can do the crowds in certain stands. One number Miump especially in a weekend.”
Of course, if McIlroy won on Sunday, he would complete the career Grand Slam and only became the sixth player in the history of the game to do this. For Winy Major Championship, Borderline Impossible, that Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods, who did it three times, places them in their own ball.
“He is certainly the best player of our generation. He makes things out so easy. You look at his score today, what he, 4 -who have these three holes, and the kind of accused and suddenly he makes three three on the [15th]”Said Day.
