Scottie Scheffler wins Masters by 3 strokes for his first major championship
The only stumble came at the end when Scheffler needed four putts from 40 feet before he could claim his first major, and that only mattered in the record book.
McIlroy was the runner-up. It was Smith who felt as though he let one get away. The Aussie was still in the game, three shots out of the lead, when he dumped his tee shot in Rae's Creek on the par-3 12th hole for triple bogey and ended his hopes.Scheffler joined Ian Woosnam in 1991 as the only players to win a major - the Masters in both cases - in their debut at No. 1 in the world.
Corey Conners of Listowel, Ont., was the top Canadian at the Masters. He shot a final round 70 and finished tied for sixth at 3-under for the championship. His pitch was racing toward the hole when it banged into the pin and dropped for an unlikely birdie, and a two-shot swing when Smith from the same position made bogey.The 12th hole remains the most riveting par 3 in golf, the scene of more collapses than comebacks. Smith became the latest victim.
