McIlroy, in only his 10th major tournament, has been poised under pressure, surrendering only two bogeys through 54 holes to stand on 12-under par 204, four strokes ahead of K J Choi, Angel Cabrera, Jason Day and Charl Schwartzel.



It's the largest Masters lead since Tiger Woods opened a nine-stroke edge on the field on his way to winning his first major title in 1997 by a record 12 strokes. "It feels good," McIlroy said.

"I'm not getting ahead of myself. I know how leads can dwindle away quickly. I have to go out there, not take anything for granted and play as hard as I have the last three days. If I can do that, hopefully things will go my way."
