Sir Nick Faldo has voiced concerns about Rory McIlroy's chances of winning The Masters for a second consecutive time after McIlroy's disappointing third round of 73 at Augusta National. Once holding a six-shot lead, McIlroy now finds himself tied with Cameron Young, who made a remarkable comeback with a 65, erasing an eight-shot deficit. Faldo noted that McIlroy's game appears inconsistent, stating, “His driver is right and his irons are left.” He suggested that if McIlroy cannot correct these issues, Young may capitalize on the opportunity to win his first major championship. Faldo also mentioned other contenders like Shane Lowry, Jason Day, and Scottie Scheffler, emphasizing that the competition is fierce with several players capable of taking the title. Dame Laura Davies, co-commentating alongside Faldo, still backed McIlroy to win if conditions allow for lower scores, predicting a thrilling final round at Augusta National.
