He boasted a significant four-shot lead after just six holes on day three.
Despite facing some challenges around the turn, a second eagle at 15 helped him regain his momentum, as a consecutive 66 brought his score to 12 under par.
With Bryson DeChambeau trailing him at ten under after a 69, McIlroy seems poised to capture the coveted Green Jacket — a triumph that would place him among the elite group of golfers who have achieved the career Grand Slam.
While critics may remember McIlroy’s larger four-shot lead heading into the final round in 2011, which ended with an 80, this situation feels distinctly different.
