The World No. 1 steadied his game Sunday afternoon while the contenders fell apart at Amen Corner.
The World No. 1 shot 4-under 68 on Sunday, steadying his game midway through the final round at Augusta National while his pursuers fell apart at Amen Corner. The final score was 11-under 277, the margin of victory four shots over Ludvig Åberg and seven shots over Collin Morikawa, Max Homa and Tommy Fleetwood.
Åberg, who began the round three shots back and closed to within one at the turn, rinsed his approach shot to the par-4 11th and made double bogey. He got the shots back with birdies at 13 and 14 but Scheffler also birdied those, maintaining his comfortable three-shot cushion. Åberg shot 69 in his first major-championship Sunday.
Collin Morikawa’s quest for a third leg of the career Grand Slam was crippled at the par-4 9th when he needed two shots to get out of a greenside bunker, leading to a double, then finished off at the 11th when like Åberg he put his approach into the pond. He shot 74. An air of inevitability surrounded Scheffler coming into the week, as he had won back-to-back starts in March at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and the Players Championship, on two meaty courses that demand the precise ballstriking that is Scheffler’s hallmark . In eight PGA Tour starts for the year prior to the year’s first major he had two wins, five other top 10s and a T17.
