Masters 2025: McIlroy vs. DeChambeau should make for an epic Sunday

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- From the fairway on the 15th hole at Augusta National, Bryson DeChambeau had a clear view of what was going on below.
On the green, Rory McIlroy had landed his second shot like a feather and left himself a mere 6 feet for eagle. Even if he might not have seen the ball go in, the roar of the patrons told DeChambeau all he needed to know: McIlroy had made his second eagle of the day, this one pushing him to 12 under par and five shots ahead of DeChambeau.
With four holes left, catching McIlroy was far-fetched, but this was Saturday at the Masters, so the two-time U.S. Open winner simply had one thought on his mind.
"Get in the final pairing."
