McIlroy eagled the par 5 13th with an exquisite drive, landing his approach shot within seven feet of the cup. The 32-year-old proceeded to drain the put, staking him to -7 through 13. However, McIlroy’s signature shot came on the 18th, as he holed out from the bunker to secure the eight-under.
Still, it wasn’t enough to get McIlroy to the top of the leaderboard.
The Masters is Scottie Scheffler’s to lose. The American has a three-shot lead with a few holes remaining. Cameron Smith is on the final pairing with Scheffler but has fallen out of the race, carting a three-over through 14.
McIlroy is the only other golfer available on the futures board at FanDuel Sportsbook, with Scheffler taking a commanding lead.
