Rory looks to maintain lead and more from the third round

The 90th edition of the Masters Tournament continues Saturday, with Rory McIlroy dominating like never before.

The 2025 champion's title defense could not have gone better Friday. He closed the second round with a 7-under 65, putting him six shots ahead of the field heading into the third round. That's the largest lead any golfer has taken into the Masters on Saturday.

Can McIlroy maintain his hot start Saturday? Here are the top sights and sounds from the third round of the Masters.
