Scottie Scheffler won his second Green Jacket in just three years with a final round masterclass Sunday at Augusta National. Scheffler carded an impressive 4-under 68 to finish the tournament a dominant 11-under par, a commanding four strokes clear of the chasing pack.
Scheffler’s victory wasn’t simply about a single round. He displayed unwavering control throughout the week. His iron play was surgical, finding greens in regulation with laser precision. His short game was equally impressive, with clutch putts that saved par and converted birdie opportunities. This all-around dominance left challengers like Collin Morikawa and Max Homa with little room for error. And a spirited showing from Masters rookie Ludvig Åberg couldn’t keep pace with Scheffler’s relentless pursuit of victory. Each of those contenders suffered an Amen Corner double bogey.
Meanwhile, Scheffler actually padded his lead with a bogey on the 11th. When he safely found the green on #12, the tournament was all but over. A two-putt birdie at #13 gave him a 2-under total for the week through Amen Corner.
The win marked a significant milestone for the 27-year-old Texan. He became the fourth-youngest golfer to win multiple Masters titles, joining the elite company of Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, and Seve Ballesteros. The victory also extended his incredible recent form, marking his third win in his last four tournaments. Scheffler’s reign at the top of the golfing world seems destined to continue for some time to come.
Scheffler’s celebrations were tinged with a touch of urgency. His wife Meredith is expecting their first child this month. After dedicating the win to her in his victory speech, Scheffler expressed his eagerness to get home as soon as possible to begin his new role as a father. This moment captured the essence of Scheffler’s triumph – a dominant display on the course, coupled with the excitement and anticipation of fatherhood.
Professional golf is undeniably in a tumultuous period. Scheffler’s victory serves as a powerful reminder of golf’s enduring allure – the pursuit of excellence with grace and sportsmanship. As professional golf navigates its evolving landscape, Scheffler’s rise to the top, both in skill and character, is a development fans can wholeheartedly celebrate.
