2026 Masters LIVE: Leaderboard and updates from final round at Augusta

Follow Daily Mail Sport’s live blog for the latest leaderboard and updates from the final round of The Masters 2026 at Augusta National. 

Aberg off to a flyer

The Swede probably has too much to do to force his way into contention for the title but he’s made the best possible start.

Aberg has birdied at both 1 and 2, taking him to five-under.

As for one of his Ryder Cup teammates, Jon Rahm, he is heading to the final two holes of his Masters tournament. He started at five-over but is back at level par. Can he finish with a flourish?

Sergio Garcia smashes his driver in furious Masters meltdown… before walking off with rival player’s bag

ISABEL BALDWIN AT AUGUSTA: Arduous Augusta National can reduce even the most elite golfers to meltdowns and on Sunday, it claimed Sergio Garcia as its latest victim, with the Spanish star officially reprimanded by Masters chiefs.

The patrons who had risen early to catch the action at Augusta likely weren’t expecting to see fireworks until deeper into Sunday’s final round of the Masters when Rory McIlroy and co. tee off.

But the fiery Spaniard delivered the theatrics early when spectacularly imploded just two holes into his final round at The Masters.

Where did it go wrong for Rory?

RIATH AL-SAMARRAI AT AUGUSTA: If we felt the Rory McIlroy of 2026 was now beyond the concession of huge leads, then guilt ought to be pleaded to the charges of short memories and dopey thinking. From the impossibly large advantage of six strokes, the defending champion coughed up the lot to Cameron Young to tee up a final-round showdown we never expected at the Masters.

It remains to be seen if McIlroy can process the dramas that brought on such an unlikely scenario, but to avoid being reacquainted with old labels, he simply must. Tied on 11 under par with the exceptional American, it will be a formidable challenge if momentum comes into the equation.

A round of 73 was, by a distance, McIlroy’s worst of the week and littered with errors, the most savage of which coming in a chaotic rounding of Amen Corner.

Exclusive:Rory McIlroy faces nervy battle to retain his green jacket after Augusta meltdown

DANIEL MATTHEWS AT AUGUSTA: The Masters have stepped up efforts to stop fans sneaking in AI glasses that allow them to circumvent Augusta’s strict no-phone and no-camera policy, the Daily Mail understands.

A look at the leaderboard

Here’s how things stand at the top of the leaderboard going into the final round:

Good afternoon

Hello and welcome to the Daily Mail’s coverage of what promises to be a thrilling final round of the Masters.

Rory McIlroy looked primed to retain his green jacket on Friday night but a error-strewn third round and some outrageous play from those in the chasing pack saw his six-shot lead get wiped out.

Now he’s level on -11 with Cameron Young and the likes of Sam Burns, Shane Lowry, Justin Rose and Scottie Scheffler are chasing them down.

Stick with us for updates throughout the night from Augusta.
