Augusta | Rory McIlroy reached the midway point of the third round at the Masters on Saturday with a two-shot cushion over Bryson DeChambeau, as Australian Jason Day flirted with a 46-year record after a blistering start that saw him leapfrog overnight leader Justin Rose after just two holes.
Grand slam-chasing McIlroy started birdie-eagle-birdie en route to becoming the first player to begin a round at the Masters with six consecutive threes on a partly cloudy day that offered pristine scoring conditions.
