AUGUSTA, Ga. — Fore, please! It's Moving Day at the 90th Masters Tournament, as the action continues into a firm and fast Augusta National in the third round.

Read below for a breakdown of Round 3 action.

Li’s unlikely rise

China’s Haotong Li is shaking up a major championship leaderboard once again.

After making waves with his final pairing start alongside Scottie Scheffler at last year’s The Open, Li could be destined to be the last man out on another major Sunday. Going out in 31, Li played his way to 9-under par and solo-second on the back of a tap-in eagle on No. 8.

The best part? Li claims he almost withdrew Friday due to stomach problems, claiming he “was living” in the bathroom. No signs of issues in his game as he tapped in for another birdie at No. 10.

Scheffler’s not done yet

Right on cue, two-time Masters winner Scottie Scheffler has played his way back into contention at this 90th Masters in just nine holes on Moving Day. Going out in 31, Scheffler planted his approach at the second inside 5 feet for eagle before rattling off three birdies in a row from Nos. 7-9.

His approach at the ninth nearly took the top off the patrons, lipping out on what would’ve harkened back to his hole-out eagle on the same hole during the final round of his 2024 win. Scheffler turned at 5-under, and would quickly add another birdie at the 11th to move into a tie for second.

He would add two more birdies for a 7-under 65, firmly back in the mix heading to Sunday.

McIlroy chases history

Following a breakthrough in 2025 where Rory McIlroy earned the career Grand Slam with his Masters win, the world No. 2 is within reach of another green jacket. McIlroy backed up his first-round 67 with a Friday-low 65 to take a six-shot lead into the weekend, the largest second-round lead in Masters history. The only Masters champions to hold a 36-hole lead the year after their victory are Arnold Palmer (1959, 1961, 1965), Ian Woosnam (1992) and Jordan Spieth (2016).

McIlroy is aiming to become just the fourth back-to-back Masters champion and first since Tiger Woods in 2001-02.

Notables

Patrick Cantlay (66): After opening his week with a 77, Patrick Cantlay posts a bogey-free 66 on Saturday to move to 5-under for the week. It is his second straight day without a bogey after Friday’s blemish-free 67. He has marked 11 birdies since his last square on the final hole of his opening round.

Brian Harman (67): Teeing off in the fourth group of the morning, the Georgian lefty made his move with a tidy 67 that could have been even lower. He moved from 4-over to 1-under, showing that while the greens continue to purple, low scores are available.

Quotables

"I'll be happy if I shoot 59." – Ryan Gerard on what would make him happy on Sunday after his third-round 68

"Birdieing the last hole is a lot of fun. It makes lunch taste a little bit better, and I can be a little bit more smiley talking to you guys." – Jacob Bridgeman after moving to 2-under for the week with a birdie on his final hole

“I think he (McIlroy) underestimates himself a little bit there. There aren't many players that would stand on a tee box and be able to go toe-to-toe with him. When he gets up there and pounds one 340 down the first, there's only really a handful of guys. ... He's the complete package really.” – Adam Scott on Rory McIlroy’s comments on not being an intimidating player

"It's playing beautifully. Firming up. ... The greens are just as firm and fast, if not firmer and faster. It'll be a challenge but there are a few pins today where you can use slopes to kind of work it in. Got to pick your spots, but it's out there." – Corey Conners on course conditions after his Saturday morning round
