Rory McIlroy is on an absolute heater to begin his third round at the 2025 Masters. He just birdied again at No. 5 to move to 5-under for the round and 11-under for the tournament. He’d be running away from the field if not for those two double bogeys on the final four holes of his first round Thursday. Nonetheless, he’s opened up a three-shot lead on Bryson DeChambeau and has the Augusta National gallery buzzing as he pursues his first green jacket and a career grand slam.
A bogey Bryson DeChambeau at No. 3 has given Rory McIlroy a little more breathing room atop the 2025 Masters leaderboard. After going 4-under through the opening three holes on Saturday, McIlroy has opened up a two-shot lead on DeChambeau and second-round leader Justin Rose. McIlroy is now 9-under par over his past 13 holes of golf, including Friday’s back nine.
Rory McIlroy couldn’t have asked for a better beginning to his third round at the 2025 Masters. After a birdie putt on No. 1, McIlroy just chipped in for eagle at No. 2 to move to 9-under for the tournament. He’s now one shot ahead of second-round leader Justin Rose and Bryson DeChambeau on the leaderboard.
“An electric start,” is how CBS broadcaster Jim Nantz described it and he isn’t being hyperbolic. Buckle up for an exciting afternoon at Augusta National Golf Club.
The leaders are off and running during Saturday’s third round and Bryson DeChambeau and Rory McIlroy each responded with a birdie on No. 1 playing in the final two groups of the afternoon. McIlroy set up his birdie putt after hitting the longest drive of the entire tournament (370+ yards), while DeChambeau hit a 45-foot putt to move into a tie for the lead (briefly).
Scottie Scheffler starts the third round with a birdie at No. 2, moving him into a tie for fourth place with a score of six under par.
Sungjae Im made eagle on No. 2 for the second eagle of the day at that hole, moving him to a tie for 5th place.
The 2007 champion, Zach Johnson, continues to shine as he birdies No. 16, soaring to a tie for 5th place.
Zach Johnson makes significant strides up the leaderboard after a birdie at No. 13, achieving a score of five under par for the day.
Patrick Cantlay eagles at No. 8, moving up 10 spots on the leaderboard to for 30th with a score of one under par.
Amen Corner, a term first introduced in 1958 by Herbert Warren Wind, refers to a three-hole stretch in golf renowned for its significant influence on the outcomes of the Masters Tournament each year.
Amen Corner consists of holes 11, 12, and 13, which have a pond sitting to the left of hole 11. Rae’s Creek runs in front of the 12th hole and alongside the fairway in front of the green at the 13th hole.
The 12th and 13th holes feature two bridges, each named after past champions.
Jon Rahm begins Round 3 on a high note, making three consecutive birdies to climb 18 spots on the leaderboard and tie for 22nd place.
Joaquín Niemann starts Round 3 strong with a chip-in for a birdie on the third hole. Niemann moves up the leaderboard and is tied for 37th place.
The first groups of golfers, including Joaquín Niemann and Jordan Spieth, have started play in Round 3. Justin Rose, who is atop the leaderboard, will tee off at 2:40 p.m. ET with Bryson DeChambeau.

The Masters is played every year at Augusta National Golf Club, widely considered one of the top courses in the sport. Augusta National is located in Augusta, Georgia, which sits on the state’s eastern border with South Carolina.
Of the PGA Tour’s four majors, only the Masters has been played at the same course every time, with the 2025 tournament the 89th edition. — Jason Anderson
Augusta National Golf Club has just two courses (or one-and-a-half, depending on how you look at it). The Masters will take place on the club’s legendary 18 holes, while Wednesday’s Par 3 competition took place at the nine-hole Par 3 course. — Jason Anderson
The good news is that there are no greens fees, meaning that the cost to just drop in and play a round is $0 … if you can get on the course.
That’s where the bad news comes in: Augusta National is a private club, and the only ways to actually tee off without an altercation with club security are by being a member (or a guest of one), being an employee of the club, or by becoming one of the world’s best golfers and qualifying for the Masters or the Augusta National Women’s Invitational as a professional. — Jason Anderson
If you’d like to land a membership at Augusta National Golf Club, you’d better start networking. There is no application process, with membership an invite-only process. The club has a long history of privacy, and while many reports have listed the total number of members around 300, there is no exact number confirmed by Augusta National.
Once you secure the remarkably exclusive invitation, you’d better make sure you can afford to actually accept it. A range of reports over the last 15 years have placed the initiation fee at somewhere between $40,000 and $300,000, while annual dues are estimated to run between $4,000 and $30,000. — Jason Anderson
The traditional Augusta National staples will all cost the same as they did last year. In fact, the price of the egg salad and pimento cheese sandwiches hasn’t gone up since 2002.
Egg Salad: $1.50Pimento Cheese: $1.50Masters Club: $3.00Pork Bar-B-Que: $3.00Georgia Peach Ice Cream Sandwich: $3.00
Beverages, too, remain the same as last year.
Soft drinks: $2.00Iced tea/bottled water: $2.00Beer/wine: $6.00
Augusta National also serves a special wheat ale called “Crow’s Nest,” which replaced Blue Moon ale in 2021 and also sells for $6.00. — Steve Gardner
