Groupings and tee times for the third round of the 90th Masters tournament, held at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia.

Rory McIlroy holds a dominant six-shot lead - the largest 36-hole advantage in the tournament's history - as he bids to become the first player since Tiger Woods to win successive editions of The Masters.

The world No 2 birdied six of his last seven holes to move to 12 under, the record halfway total from a defending champion, with McIlroy now having a third-round pairing with Sam Burns in the final group.

Former Masters champion Patrick Reed is also six back as he chases a second major title, with McIlroy's Ryder Cup team-mates Justin Rose, Shane Lowry and Tommy Fleetwood all a further shot back at the halfway stage.

Fifty-four players made it through to the weekend on four over or better, with former Masters champion Jon Rahm progressing on the cut mark after posting a two-under 70 on Friday.
