Rory McIlroy birdied six of the final seven holes on Friday evening to move to 12-under-par and take a six-stroke lead into the weekend at Augusta National.
The defending champion, looking to become the first back-to-back Masters champion since Tiger Woods in 2002, leads Sam Burns and Patrick Reed by six with 36 holes to play. McIlroy's European teammates Justin Rose, Shane Lowry and Tommy Fleetwood are a stroke further back at five-under.
