World number one Scottie Scheffler celebrates on the 18th green after winning the 86th Masters at Augusta National Golf Club.
AUGUSTA: Top-ranked Scottie Scheffler captured his first major title on Sunday by winning the Masters in dominating fashion, holding firm down the stretch to seize the green jacket after Tiger Woods completed his comeback from severe leg injuries.
Scheffler fired a final-round one-under-par 71 to finish 72 holes on 10-under 278 and defeat four-time major winner Rory McIlroy by three strokes with Australian Cameron Smith and Ireland’s Shane Lowry sharing third on 283.
“It was a long day, a tough day for me,” Scheffler said. “I just tried to keep my head down and execute my shots.”
