What happened

It’s a good thing Augusta National has Rory McIlroy’s jacket dimensions fresh on file because he gained some serious ground on Friday.

Why it matters

The reigning Masters winner holed six birdies on the final seven holes to shoot a 7-under 65 — one stroke off his course record — and reach 12-under in the tournament.

Common ground

McIlroy is now heavily favored to win the Masters with a price of -280 at FanDuel Sportsbook.
