"Rory McIlroy delivered a dynamic finish to the Masters on Friday, looking every bit like someone who has done this before. Six birdies over the last seven holes gave him a 7-under 65 and a six-shot lead that set a Masters record through 36 holes."
"McIlroy was locked into a fascinating duel with old nemesis Patrick Reed, and then he was all alone. His tee shot over Rae's Creek on the dangerous par-3 12th landed 7 feet behind the flag."
"The previous record for the largest 36-hole lead at Augusta National was five shots by Jordan Spieth, Raymond Floyd, Jack Nicklaus, and Herman Keiser. All went on to win."
