On the final day of the 2025 Masters Tournament, Rory McIlroy leads the field at -12 after an exceptional performance. Bryson DeChambeau is just two strokes behind at -10, setting the stage for an intense showdown. Justin Rose, who led after the first two rounds, slipped but remains in contention at -6. Other strong contenders include Corey Conners at -8, and both Ludvig Åberg and Patrick Reed, tied at -6. Reigning champion Scottie Scheffler is five shots back at -5 and will need something extraordinary to retain his title.
Key Developments from Moving Day:
Rory McIlroy surged into the lead with a stunning 66, including two eagles and a historic run of six straight threes on the opening holes—something never before achieved at The Masters. Now at -12, he stands on the brink of completing the Career Grand Slam.
Bryson DeChambeau made a powerful statement, closing his round with three consecutive birdies to finish at -10. His aggressive yet calculated approach makes him McIlroy’s most dangerous challenger.
Justin Rose, the 36-hole leader, struggled on Saturday, shooting a 75 and falling back to T6 at -6. Despite the setback, he's still within range if he produces a strong final round.
Corey Conners remains a steady force at -8, while Ludvig Åberg and Patrick Reed are poised at -6 for a Sunday charge.
Scottie Scheffler, the defending champion, is at -5. To stay in contention, he’ll need a nearly flawless final round.
Course & Weather Outlook:
The course is in excellent condition. Fairways are firm, greens are fast, and the weather forecast is ideal—partly cloudy skies, minimal wind, and temperatures around 22°C. Perfect for championship Sunday.
With such a tight leaderboard, the final nine holes—especially the infamous Amen Corner—are likely to decide who claims the Green Jacket. Will McIlroy make history? Can DeChambeau muscle his way to victory? Or will one of the underdogs go low and shock the field?
