Bryson DeChambeau has a great chance to win The Masters, entering Sunday's final round just two shots back of 54-hole leader Rory McIlroy.
The two-time and reigning U.S. Open champion has gone from one of the most polarizing characters in golf to a fan favorite in recent years. Now, after a dramatic win at Pinehurst last summer, the LIV Golf superstar can add another major to an already impressive resume.
DeChambeau entered Moving Day at the 2025 Masters in a great position after opening rounds of 69 and 68 at Augusta National, which was the perfect start for someone who had previously struggled in the majority of his starts at the year's first major up until last year.
Birdies on the first two holes were a perfect beginning to the third round for Bryson. And after some struggles in the middle part of his round, DeChambeau finished strong with three birdies in his last four holes, including a massive putt from just off the green that dropped for a forceful finish, giving him another 3-under 69.

Following three excellent rounds, the 31-year-old can now join Tiger Woods in an elite club if he can run down McIlroy on Sunday.
Bryson DeChambeau can become just the fourth player to win the U.S. Amateur, the U.S. Open, and The Masters
If DeChambeau wins the Green Jacket, he'll become the first reigning U.S. Open champion to win The Masters the following years since Tiger did so in 2001.
Woods, of course, followed his dominant U.S. Open win at Pebble Beach in 2000 by adding his second Masters title in 2001, thus completing the famed "Tiger Slam," holding all four major championship titles at the same time.
Furthermore, with a victory at Augusta, DeChambeau would become only the fourth player in history to win the U.S. Amateur, the U.S. Open, and The Masters. Currently, only Tiger, Jack Nicklaus, and Arnold Palmer are members of this exclusive club.
With so much on the line for DeChambeau going into the final round, let's take a look at his Masters history and his best finish in every major championship to date.
