Four-time major winner Rory McIlroy kicked things off in the 2025 Masters Tournament by shooting an even-par 72 Thursday at Augusta National Golf Club. Since then, the world No. 2 golfer has been on a tear.
McIlroy carded a 6-under in the second round Friday and continued that pace in Round 3 on Saturday. He became the first player in Masters history to start a round with six consecutive threes on his scorecard.
