McIlroy is now tied for the lead with Cameron Young at The Masters , so he obviously still has a great chance of winning his second green jacket.

Cameron Young played some exceptional golf on Saturday, firing a 65 to make up the eight-shot deficit on McIlroy in just one round at Augusta National . Sir Nick Faldo doubts Rory McIlroyโ€™s chances of winning The Masters Sir Nick Faldo was commentating on Sky Sports in the UK during the third round at Augusta National on Saturday. The six-time major champion was asked who he believes will win The Masters on Sunday.

โ€œ I think personally, I think Roryโ€™s game is a little inconsistent as we saw today, โ€œ Faldo said. โ€œ If he can find the switch tonight. His driver is right and his irons are left.
