Cameron Young will play alongside Rory McIlroy in the last group in the final round of The Masters at Augusta National.
McIlroy started the day with a six-shot lead over his rivals and is now level with Young after the American carded a 65 (-7).
The pair will soon go head-to-head at Augusta, with Sam Burns and Shane Lowry among a star-studded chasing pack.
Ahead of his battle against McIlroy on Sunday, Young has predicted whether the patrons will be on his side.
McIlroy had support from the crowd last year when he played with Bryson DeChambeau in the final round.
Young is not as popular as DeChambeau, so McIlroy will likely also receive the louder cheers when he makes birdies on Sunday.
“I don’t get the sense I’ll be the fan favorite, but yeah, I feel like the support, some fans that cheer for me have gotten louder over the last year,” Young explained.

“It will still be lopsided, I think. Rory is kind of a world favorite in the golf world.
“A year ago, if I’d been in the same situation, there would have been very little, and now there’s probably a little more. So I’ll take what I can get, and I’ll be happy with that.”
Young’s level-headed approach will help him at Augusta on Sunday, as he relishes the challenge of opposing McIlroy.
Even though he will be under immense pressure, Young is delighted to have put himself in such a strong position.
“I like the position I’m in,” he added. “If you had said on Thursday at about noon that I was going to be within a couple of the lead going into Sunday, I would have taken it in a heartbeat, especially given the fact that I was watching Rory play.
“Yeah, anytime you’re around the lead in a major, especially here, anything can happen. We saw today that a slow start and a hot start can erase a lot.”

Young has never won a major championship, but he has already proven that he can deliver in the biggest moments.
The 28-year-old beat Matt Fitzpatrick to win The Players Championship earlier this year with a four-under-par final round.
That clutch performance could give him the confidence to overcome defending Masters champion McIlroy.
“I said it, I think in my press conference afterward, that really what I was trying to do was get ready to be playing late on Sunday at Augusta,” Young continued.
“Now I’m here with what will be a late tee time on Sunday at Augusta, and that’s the best prep I could have asked for.
“I’ll try to run much the same process, same mindset as I did that day. I remember I did a great job of just staying where I was, knowing that everybody’s going to do some different things throughout the day.
“At some point, most people are going to go on a run, and most people are going to make a bogey or two.
“There’s no saying when that will be for me, but at the end of the day, you just have to stay kind of in your lane and play the best golf you can and see where you are with a couple of holes to go. There’s not really much you can change before then.”
Cameron Young shot a 65, which is seven under par.
Rory McIlroy started the day with a six-shot lead but is now tied with Cameron Young.
Sam Burns and Shane Lowry are among the notable players in the chasing pack.
