The Masters 2025: day three – as it happened

Rory McIlroy started the day with six straight threes, Bryson DeChambeau ended it with a birdie rake to trim the gap at the top to two. What a Moving Day!

An extremely smiley Bryson DeChambeau has a chat with CBS Sports. If I can just keep it in the fairway ... iron shots into the green ... I watch a lot ... see what players are doing ... where the pin locations are ... how people are playing it ... trying to get comfortable with that ... get my day started off a little late on purpose ... feel comfortable like I'm just getting up, getting ready to go play some golf and have a good time ... I'm excited ... it's gonna be a lot of fun!"

Shot of the week at 12 by Denny McCarthy! At the 155-yard par-three, he lands his ball five feet in front of the flag. A couple of tiny bounces take it a couple of feet closer, but no further. That's a kick-in birdie, though. The 32-year-old from Florida, whose best finish here was a modest tie for 45th last year, moves into the red at -1 overall. So close there to only the fourth ace at 12 in Masters history. The others: the two-time US Open champion Curtis Strange in 1988, the amateur Bill Hyndman in 1959, and Claude Harmon, Butch's dad, in 1947 (a year before his victory).
