Scottie Scheffler won the Masters at Augusta by four shots from Ludvig Åberg after a final round of 68
The Masters is supposed to get under way on the back nine on Sunday. Scottie Scheffler did not bother waiting that long. Such an approach is befitting a golfer now so dominant that comparisons with Tiger Woods in his pomp are perfectly appropriate.
Åberg’s problem at this point was the identity of the man in the group behind. It still seems incredible that Scheffler’s approach to the par four 9th didn’t go in, the path of the ball deviating by a matter of millimetres over its final couple of rolls. A birdie three was sufficient to regain the solo lead. It was an advantage Scheffler would never concede. Or to be frank, an advantage he never looked like conceding.
Scheffler’s 68 was sufficient for a four-shot victory. In occasionally wild conditions, he reached 11 under par. Scheffler’s worst score in this Masters edition was 72. A 69 from Åberg earned second.Amen Corner did bare its teeth. The most visually stunning stretch of holes in golf still carry such menace. Collin Morikawa was in touch and proceeded to double bogey the 11th. Max Homa whacked his tee shot at the 12th into a bush; two strokes was the level of his punishment, too.
