“Shane Lowry enters the final round at nine-under par, just two shots behind co-leaders Rory McIlroy and Cameron Young at eleven-under, making him well within striking distance on a course where dramatic Sunday collapses are common — as evidenced by McIlroy's own third-round 73 after holding a historic six-shot lead.. Lowry carries enormous momentum into Sunday after his historic hole-in-one on the par-3 sixth during Saturday's round — becoming the first player ever to record two career aces at the Masters — and shooting a four-under 68 in round three to vault into contention from six shots back after round two..”

A three-shot deficit on Sunday at Augusta is historically very difficult to overcome.. Base rate argument: In Masters history, players entering the final round three or more shots off the lead win at a very low rate — historically fewer than 10-15% of Masters champions have come from three+ shots back on Sunday.
