What to Expect: Leaders and Storylines
Rory McIlroy’s position atop the leaderboard after 36 holes makes him the favorite heading into Sunday, though the field was cut to 54 players after Round 2, meaning any of the remaining contenders could mount a charge.

Augusta’s Amen Corner—holes 11, 12, and 13—traditionally produces dramatic swings in the final round, and dedicated coverage of this stretch lets you catch every crucial moment without missing the main broadcast.
