Rory McIlroy opened birdie-eagle to seize a one-stroke lead in Saturday's third round of the Masters, where the Northern Ireland star seeks an historic win at Augusta National.
Two off the pace to start the day, McIlroy catapulted himself past overnight leader Justin Rose and Bryson DeChambeau -- who tied Rose at eight-under with a birdie at the first.
But the final pair of Rose and DeChambeau were finishing up on the first green when McIlroy gained the lead, holing out from 18 yards at the par-five second.
McIlroy, tied with Corey Conners to start the day, had taken advantage of a monster drive at the first, where he rolled in a 10-foot putt to secure a birdie.
