One week after ascending to No. 1 in the world, Scottie Scheffler is taking home his first career major championship title. Scheffler carded a final round score of a 1-under 71 to win the green jacket by a comfortable three-shot margin over Rory McIlroy.
He enjoyed a stroll up the No. 18 green knowing he was about to become the Masters champion.
The victory marks Schefflerâs fourth win in his last six starts. He was the only player in the field to finish under par in all four rounds of the tournament.
A chip-in for birdie on hole No. 3 got the ball rolling for Scheffler in the final round on Sunday and he never looked back.
How good is this đ¤
