# Rory McIlroy moved closer to finally winning the Masters at Augusta with a commanding third-round performance which leaves him two shots clear going into today’s finale. The 35-year-old from Northern Ireland carded a six-under 66 – featuring two eagles – to head a star-stacked leaderboard with a score of 12 under after 54 holes. South-Africa’s Christiaan Bezuidenhout and Thriston Lawrence did not make the cut after the first round, while Charl Schwartzel is still in the running going into the final round.
