Why would you be angry about a paper making a simple factual statement. Rory McIlroy has a six stroke lead going into the final round. Unless he blows up, the tournament is his to win.

With three reachable par five, an average round for him should be 69-70. If he shoots 69, one of the few people that are within six shots would have to shoot 62 to win. Since that is incredibly unlikely, it's pretty much up to McIlroy to have an average or better round to win the tournament. I'd say that it's pretty much his to win or lose.
