McIlroy leads Masters but faces DeChambeau final-day test

Rory McIlroy moved closer to finally winning the Masters with a commanding third-round performance which leaves him two shots clear going into Sunday's finale.

The 35-year-old from Northern Ireland carded a six-under 66 - featuring two eagles - to head a superstar-stacked leaderboard with a score of 12 under after 54 holes.

However, the complexion of the final day changed when Bryson DeChambeau narrowed the gap with three birdies in his final four holes - including a 50-foot putt from the fringe of the 18th green.

The American maverick set up a tantalising Sunday with a three-under 69 to close on 10 under.
