Sun Apr 13 18:30:00 UTC 2025: ## McIlroy on Verge of Historic Masters Victory

**Augusta, GA** – Rory McIlroy stands on the precipice of Masters glory. The four-time major champion holds a commanding two-stroke lead heading into the final round of the 2025 Masters Tournament, putting him within reach of a coveted green jacket and a career Grand Slam.

McIlroy, who has played at Augusta National 16 times previously without a win, currently sits at -12, two strokes ahead of Bryson DeChambeau (-10) and seven ahead of defending champion Scottie Scheffler (-5). While this is a significant advantage, the Irishman’s past struggles at the Masters, notably a back-nine collapse in 2011 when he squandered a four-shot lead, loom large.

This year, however, McIlroy has the opportunity to finally conquer Augusta National and complete the career Grand Slam, a feat achieved by only five golfers. Golf fans worldwide are eagerly anticipating the final round, with coverage starting at 2 p.m. ET on CBS and available to stream on Paramount+, ESPN+, Masters.com, and the Masters app. The final round is expected to conclude around 7 p.m. ET.
