The easiest way to judge a golf round is now on screen: full-round highlight packages for Rory McIlroy’s Sunday at the Masters and Cameron Young’s Saturday charge are live on YouTube. (youtube.com) McIlroy won the 2026 Masters on Sunday, April 12, with a 1-under 71 and a 12-under total, one shot ahead of Scottie Scheffler. ESPN’s highlight package tracks the birdies, the double bogey at the fourth, and the closing stretch that kept him in front. (espn.com) (youtube.com) Young’s “every shot” video covers the third round on Saturday, April 11, when he shot 7-under 65 to erase an eight-shot deficit and pull even with McIlroy at 11 under. PGA Tour and Associated Press coverage said Young tied the low round of the tournament and moved into the final pairing for Sunday. (youtube.com) (pgatour.com) Those videos matter because McIlroy’s week split cleanly in two. He built a record six-shot lead after 36 holes, then lost it on Saturday with a 73 before recovering Sunday for a second straight green jacket. (golfchannel.com) (pgatour.com) (cbssports.com) The round-by-round footage also shows how different their paths were. McIlroy spent much of the weekend scrambling after wayward drives, while Young’s 65 featured the run that turned a chase into a tie at the top. (local10.com) (pgatour.com) Saturday’s shift happened fast. McIlroy played the third round in 1-over 73, Young birdied the 16th to take the lead outright, and McIlroy only got back to a share with late birdies before a bogey at 17 left them tied overnight. (abc.net.au) (usatoday.com) Sunday was messy again before it was decisive. NBC News reported McIlroy made a double bogey at the fourth and another bogey at the sixth, then answered with birdies at seven, eight, 12 and 13 to retake control as Young and Justin Rose faded. (nbcnews.com) Young did not win, but his week still changed shape at Augusta. He entered Sunday tied for the lead after starting the third round eight back, and Golfweek wrote that his final-round challenge slipped when bad breaks and missed putts arrived together. (local10.com) (golfweek.usatoday.com) For anyone trying to separate recovery golf from clean ball-striking, the clips do more than a standard two-minute recap. They let you watch the round breathe shot by shot, including the misses that nearly cost McIlroy and the surge that briefly put Young level with him. (youtube.com 1) (youtube.com 2)
