Augusta National Golf Club: Rory McIlroy, Chance be Masters Champion

Rory McIlroy four-stroke lead at the end of the third round of the U.S. Masters tournament in Augusta, Georgia.

In the third round, McIlroy noted blows two under par, 70, thus keeping score 12 below par.

"I'm in a good position. I remained patient and I am happy to stay abreast of my game strategy," said McIlroy.

McIlroy has an opportunity to become the second youngest Masters champion after Tiger Woods, who became champion at the age of 21 years, three months and four days when the U.S. won the Masters for the first time in 1997.

With one round remaining, McIlroy four strokes ahead of Angel Cabrera, KJ Choi, Charl Schwartzel and Jason Day.

They were followed by Luke Donald and Adam Scott who both scored a total of seven strokes under par.

Tiger Woods is four-time Masters champion is still slim chance with a score of five under par, while Phil Mickelson is not likely again with a score of three under par.

Adam Scott: Finished Only One Stroke

Tiger Woods is in a group of players in the mix master. Tiger went down 6-on the front nine at Augusta and Rory McIlroy has struggled, triple-bogeying the 10th. K.J. Choi, Angel Cabrera, Charl Schwartzel - and now Tiger Woods - lead at -10 as I type this. Tiger missed an eagle putt that he would lead the final. (knew I should not publish made ​​up, he swung. Ouch.) We could in a 6-man play-off search, be before the day is over. Who else is in favor of doing it all again on Monday? Also, I apologize for Jinxing Rory. Although to be fair, he has kind of a walk through the park on 10 . stroll

South African Charl Schwartzel may have won the Masters, but hot Aussie Adam Scott finished only one stroke behind. Well, one stroke behind "brings all kinds, especially with regard to these arms and chest, but that's just juvenile. I give Tiger Woods credit for the current fitness trend among young golfers. Golf before Tiger was not exactly known for his physique stars. It is long enough to grow up for a new generation of players who have been inspired by him. Tiger's gift to humanity. Thank you, Tiger.
