Scottie Scheffler now has a second green jacket.
The world’s top-ranked golfer ran away from the rest of the field on Sunday afternoon to win the Masters by four strokes. Scheffler posted a final-round 68 at Augusta National, which marked his ninth career win on Tour and the second Masters win of his career.
That, though, is when Scheffler took off. He rattled off three straight birdies as he made the turn, including a near-eagle at the ninth, to suddenly jump back up ahead. Slowly, the other three started to slip, too. Morikawa, Aberg and Homa all carded a double on their first few holes of the back nine. Even as Scheffler made a bogey at the 11th, he still entered the 12th hole with a three-shot lead.
Scheffler then made three birdies in a four hole stretch later on his back nine before cruising to his dominant win.
Aberg finished alone in second at 7-under on the week after his 3-under 69 on Saturday. Morikawa, who started just a shot back from Scheffler, bogeyed the last to drop to 4-under on the week. He finished in a tie for third with Tommy Fleetwood and Homa, who recorded his best finish at a major.
