The third round of the 2025 Masters Tournament is set to unfold at the iconic Augusta National Golf Club on Saturday, April 12, 2025, with a thrilling leaderboard and a host of star players vying for the coveted green jacket. As the excitement builds, fans are eager to see if Justin Rose can maintain his lead or if challengers like Bryson DeChambeau and Rory McIlroy will make a significant move.
Starting the day, Justin Rose holds a narrow lead at eight under par, having carded a steady 71 in the second round. His performance has kept him at the top of the leaderboard, but the competition is fierce. Bryson DeChambeau, a two-time U.S. Open champion, surged into solo second place after an impressive four-under 68, just one stroke behind Rose. Meanwhile, Rory McIlroy, the World No. 2, made a remarkable comeback from a disappointing start, shooting a six-under 66 to bring his total to six under.
Scottie Scheffler, the defending champion and World No. 1, is also in contention, starting the third round at five under. The stage is set for an exhilarating day of golf as the players take to the course, and fans can expect a mix of drama and excitement.
