The world’s No. 1-ranked golfer Scottie Scheffler has won the 2022 Masters.
The win marks Scheffler's first career major championship victory. Scheffler came into the day with a three-shot lead, and he made sure it held up by closing with a 1-under 71. He finished at 10-under 278 overall, winning for the fourth time in his last six tournaments.
Rory McIlroy finished three strokes behind Scheffler but ended his day at the Masters with a flourish. McIlroy, who is missing only a green jacket to complete the career Grand Slam, put together a spirited final round. His 8-under 64 included an unlikely birdie from the sand on the par-4 18th. His round included six birdies and an eagle at the par-5 13th. McIlroy’s playing partner, Collin Morikawa, followed McIlroy’s lead at the last hole, making birdie from the sand shortly after McIlroy pulled off the feat.TIGER WOODS SHOOTS CAREER-WORST 78 AT THE MASTERSThe Aussie closed within a shot after starting the round with two straight birdies. But Scheffler chipped in for an unlikely birdie at No. 3, Smith made bogey and it wasn’t really close after that two-shot swing.
After dropping his ball where he could take a swing, Scheffler ripped a brilliant long iron off the pine straw that sailed just a couple of feet wide of the flag, rolling off the back of the green. He putted it up next to the hole and tapped in from about 2 feet for a bogey that felt so much better.Cameron Smith posted the best round of the day in very difficult conditions, a 4-under 68 for a 210 overall.
