Rory McIlroy surged into the top 10 on the leaderboard of the Masters at eight under par after his third round Saturday.
The Irishman shot a 67 to pull into a tie for ninth place with C.T. Pan and Jon Rahm as he walked into the clubhouse just after 3 p.m. ET. McIlroy's score was just one stroke higher than the 66 he shot Friday but an unequivocal upgrade from the 75 he shot in his first round Thursday.
Whether or not McIlroy is able to stay in the top 10 before the third round concludes remains the biggest question.
