2026 Masters final-round tee times and groups for Sunday
AUGUSTA — For Rory McIlroy, the trek toward getting a second Masters championship got a little bit harder.
After shooting 73 in the third round Saturday, his six-stroke lead evaporated and he finds himself in a tie with Cameron Young for the lead at 11 under, with Burns one shot behind and Shane Lowry lurking at 9 under.
It’ll make for a potentially dramatic final round Sunday, with four others within four shots of the lead.
Here are the pairings and times for Sunday’s final round at the Masters.
