AUGUSTA, Ga. — The most wonderful time of the golf season enters the final 18 at Augusta National Golf Club as the beauty of April surrounds one of the world’s most pristine courses. The 2025 Masters kicked off another star-studded affair with an absolutely loaded 95-man field featuring the best golfers in the world, but that competitor list was whittled down significantly with some notable names missing the cut ahead of Moving Day.
Justin Rose held the lead after each of the first two rounds, but he has been supplanted at the top by none other than Rory McIlroy. With matching 66s across the middle two rounds, McIlroy surged from even par to 12 under across 36 holes. He has gone 11 under over his last 27 holes with Saturday marking the second major championship round in which he has posted two eagles. McIlroy holds a 54-hole lead at a major for the sixth time in his career and first since the 2014 PGA Championship, his last major victory.
As far as the chasing pack, the top of the leaderboard is absolutely stacked, and McIlroy will not be able to rest on his laurels. He will need to go out and win his first green jacket to complete the elusive career grand slam he’s long sought.
Attending the Masters is a dream for many, but simply being able to watch golf on the grandest stage of them all is an incredible treat each year. We here at CBS Sports are thrilled to bring you wall-to-wall coverage of the Masters throughout this week.
