Masters Sunday lived up to expectations with spectacular performances from each of the final two pairings, but no one could overcome world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler’s dominant play as he secured his first green jacket.
Scheffler, 25, shot 1-under for a 71 in the final round and finished 10-under for the tournament at Augusta National on Sunday, the culmination of four strong rounds for the American. Scheffler shot a 69 in the first round, 67 in the second and 71 in the third. It was Scheffler first victory at a major championship.
Rory McIlroy, who hit a stunning bunker shot on the 18th hole to finish with a 64 in the final round — one shot shy of the tournament record — finished second at 7-under.
Cameron Smith, who was in the final pairing with Scheffler, finished at 5-under and tied for third with Shane Lowry after a rocky 1-over final round with a double bogey on 12 as the lowlight for the Australian.
