Tommy Fleetwood, Justin Rose and Shane Lowry, all at 5 under, are among the other big names within striking distance.
According to the latest 2026 Masters odds, McIlroy is the -280 favorite (risk $280 to win $100), with Fleetwood and Reed at +1800. Rose (+2000) and Burns (+2200) are among the other contenders looking to make a weekend run.
