They review the tee times and leaderboard, with Cam Young and Rory McIlroy tied at 11-under, Sam Burns and Shane Lowry at 9-under, and contenders including Justin Rose, Jason Day, Scottie Scheffler, and Haotong Li within four shots. The discussion focuses on Young and McIlroy leading despite erratic driving, Young’s pause-at-the-top swing, expected fan support for McIlroy versus the American Young, and how hot, dry conditions and a potentially firmer, faster course could affect scoring after a record-low third-round average. They also touch on Irish viewing atmospheres, brief golf trivia, and the uncertainty surrounding Sunday's shootout and the historical stakes for McIlroy.00:00 Saturday Recap and Tee Times01:33 Leaders Wild Driving03:06 Cam Young Swing Pause04:32 Ireland Watching Rory and Shane05:53 Who Augusta Crowds Back07:27 Heat and Firming Course09:26 Carolina Golf Trivia10:36 Sponsor Spotlight McConnell Golf12:06 Sunday Predictions and History13:45 Final Thoughts and Sign OffWelcome to the North Carolina Sports Network!Your home for all things sports in the Bold North State β€” from the NFL, NBA, NHL, MLS, PGA TOUR, and NASCAR to the heart of ACC and college athletics.πŸŽ₯ Stories. πŸŽ™οΈ Podcasts. πŸ“Š Analysis.Covering the legends, the rising stars, and everything in between.πŸ‘‡ Subscribe & follow:🌐 ncsportsnetwork.com🎧 Podcasts: Spotify, Apple & moreπŸ“² @TheNCSportsNet on all platforms#NCsports #BoldNorthState ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/north-carolina-sports-network-6476785/episodes/2026-masters-leaders-preview-young-and-mcilroy-tied-at-11-under/transcription-requests` β€” Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/north-carolina-sports-network-6476785/2026-masters-leaders-preview-young-and-mcilroy-tied-at-11-under.md` β€” Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
