Say what you will of Rory McIlroy's sloppy play Saturday at the Masters.

When he tees off in the final round Sunday at Augusta National, it will he the seventh time he'll either be tied or have the outright 54-hole lead in a major and the 22nd time in his PGA Tour career. By contract, Cameron Young has never been in this position in a major, and only had a 54-hole lead on tour once. Another thing going for McIlroy: Of those six previous times leading at a major, he's closed out the win in five of them, his only stumble being the 2011 Masters.
