McIlroy will have the chance to join an elite club of golfers with victory at the Masters tomorrow, becoming only the sixth man in history to complete a grand slam of majors.
And he turned up the heat on tournament leader Reed last night, reminding him of the task facing him when the pair tee off at around 7.40pm tonight.
"Patrick's got a three-shot lead, I feel like all the pressure's on him. He's got a few guys chasing him who are pretty big-time players. He's got that to sleep on tonight,” he told reporters yesterday.

"I don't feel like there's any shot on the golf course that I can't execute and I'm much more relaxed.
“This isn't my first time in this position. I've been able to close the deal a few times before this.
"Patrick's going for his first [major title] and I'm going for something else."
