It's here: Sunday at the Masters.
At Saturday's conclusion – a day that featured dramatic movement on the leaderboard – Rory McIlroy’s six-shot lead had evaporated, leaving the defending champion tied with Cameron Young at 11-under 205. A dozen players stand within six shots of the lead, including two-time champion Scottie Scheffler, who starts the day four shots back.
McIlroy, world No. 2, and Young, world No. 3, will tee off in the final pairing at 2:25 p.m. ET. Today marks just the second time that final pairing on Sunday includes two of the top three players in the Official World Golf Rankings. That first occured in 2001, when then-No. 1 Tiger Woods was paired with No. 2 Phil Mickelson.
Right in front of them at 2:14 p.m. are Sam Burns (10 under) and Irishman Shane Lowry (9 under), who made Masters history on Saturday when he recorded his second career ace at Augusta National. The 2:03 p.m. tee time features Australian Jason Day, who's chasing his second major championship title and first green jacket, and Englishman Justin Rose, who notably finished runner-up for the third time at the Masters in 2025 after losing to McIlroy in a playoff.
Check back here throughout the day to see how Sunday unfolds at the Masters.
Sunday hole locations announced
While many of the hole locations for Sunday at the Masters are familiar to many fans, Augusta National still has some surprised for the final round.
Twelve of the 18 hole locations are essentially in the same place they were last year. Some have become annual staples for the second Sunday in April: the far right pin on No. 2, the right side location on No. 12, the famed front-left location on No. 18 where Rory McIlroy fell to his knees a year ago.
But there are a few notable changes from last year, including the par-3 16th. While the final-round hole was perched on the back right shelf last year, a nod to the 50th anniversary of Jack Nicklaus' 1975 triumph, it's back in a more familiar location in the lower left bowl this afternoon. It's one of three notable changes across the final four holes: The pin on the par-5 15th is in the back right after being more centered last year, while the hole on No. 17 will return to the far right portion of the green after being in the front left last year – where Patrick Reed notably holed out for eagle and McIlroy nearly followed in the final group.
