Amen Corner claimed its most high-profile victim of the week as it cost defending Masters champion Rory McIlroy three shots and the hold he had on the tournament during a damaging 45 minutes.
The Irishman entered Augusta National’s famously-tricky stretch clinging on to top spot after seeing his six-shot overnight lead halved but at 13 under was just about still in control.
