## Resource

I want to once again thank our sponsors for this week and give a quick shoutout to Callaway’s Chrome Tour golf balls. This is where everything matters - feel, control, spin, and performance under pressure. The Chrome Tour and Chrome Tour X are designed for exactly that. You’ve got exceptional distance off the tee, but also that control and consistency into the greens, especially on those delicate shots around Augusta. And that balance is what we’re seeing from the players in contention, total trust in every part of their game. So whether you’re chasing a personal best or just trying to sharpen up your short game, the Chrome Tour range delivers tour-level performance. To find out more, visit eu.callawaygolf.com . One way or another, Rory McIlroy is going to make history at the 2026 Masters Tournament. He will either defend his Green Jacket, becoming only the fourth person to do so, or he will have blown the largest 36-hole lead in Masters history. With plenty of big names in hot pursuit, the final round at Augusta National is promising to be incredibly exciting. In this special daily episode, Joe and I discuss Cameron Young's impressive charge after starting the tournament four-over-par through seven holes, the chances of other Major winners like Justin Rose or Shane Lowry, the professionalism and consistency of Sam Burns and, of course, the lurking presence of the World No.1 Scottie Scheffler on the leaderboard. This is a Masters Tournament that continues to deliver and one you will not want to miss down the stretch on Sunday.
