The 89th edition of the Masters is in for a thriller Sunday. 

Rory McIlroy and Bryson DeChambeau are in the final pairing, and golf fans will remember how these two are connected after the 2024 U.S. Open. 

DeChambeau won the U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2, while McIlroy had an epic meltdown with the putter late in the round to throw away his potential title. 

This time, McIlroy posted yet another 6-under round at Augusta National Saturday after surging up the leaderboard Friday.

McIlroy put his disappointing first round, when he finished at even par after two double bogeys on the second nine, in the rearview mirror after posting a 66 in his second round. Then, he got off to a hot start, going birdie, eagle, birdie to quickly take the lead. 

It was a lead he didn't relinquish even after faltering on holes eight and 10, putting a bogey on the scorecard to move back down to 9-under. 

However, McIlroy got those shots back with a birdie on No. 13 and No. 15, which ruined his first round after he hit a chip into the water. He buried another eagle to get him to 12-under.
