Corey Conners was full of praise for Rory McIlroy’s stunning performance at Augusta, as the 2025 Masters winner put on a show during the third round.

The pair headed into Saturday’s round at six-under-par, as Conners witnessed McIlroy’s incredible start putting for birdie, eagle, birdie on his first three holes.

McIlroy’s remarkable day ended with him sitting pretty at 12-under-par, a stone’s throw away from potentially securing his first-ever Green Jacket in Sunday’s finale.

Conners, who had the privilege of accompanying McIlroy throughout the day, was awestruck by the display. Reflecting on the experience, he commended the Northern Irish golfer, saying: “Yeah, it was pretty electric.

“It was pretty amazing playing with Rory on Saturday and a lot of energy was spent on our group. I did a good job of staying patient. He was five-under through five.

“On the sixth tee I was telling myself I’m going to get my opportunities and try and capitalize on them, and was able to make a few birdies around the turn. But the atmosphere was crazy.
