If there was ever any doubt, the golfing world now belongs to Scottie Scheffler. Everyone else is in chase mode.
UpdatedAUGUSTA, Ga. — Scottie Scheffler drained all the drama out of the Masters.Despite that familiar refrain about the tournament not beginning until the back nine on Sunday, it's become a rarity for it to be decided at the closing holesComing into the first major championship of 2024 as the overwhelming favorite, he more than fulfilled the enormous expectations by cruising to his second green jacket in three years with a four-stroke victory over Masters rookie Ludvig Aberg.
The Masters marked his third win in the last four starts, tacked on to his triumphs in the Arnold Palmer Invitational and the Players Championship. The other finish in that stretch? A runner-up showing at the Houston Open, where Scheffler missed a short putt at the final hole. It was the seventh time in the last 11 years that the Masters champion winner cleared the field by at least three strokes.
Scheffler didn't take much time to savor the victory. He was eager to get back to Texas, where his wife, Meredith, is expecting the couple's first child before the month is out. “I really want to win,” Scheffler said."I think that’s how I’m designed. That’s the way I’ve been since I was a kid.”Aberg had a shot at becoming the first player to win the Masters in his first appearance since Fuzzy Zoeller in 1979.
It was by far the best major showing of Homa's career and perhaps a springboard to contending more regularly in the biggest events.
