World number one secures second Major title after closing 68 earns him four-stroke win

Photograph: Andrew Redington/Getty Images, while others faltered, his route to a second green jacket in three years was sure-footed and achieved with considerable aplomb as his mind remained focused on the task at hand and his shot-making and distance control set him apart from all others.
Åberg, the 24-year-old Swede in his maiden Major championship appearance, had moved into position to pose a threat until a sling-hooked 5-iron approach to the 11th green found a watery grave, as he ran up a double-bogey six. Still, he recovered to claim solo runner-up after a 69 for 281.
One by one, each of Scheffler’s challengers self-destructed. But not Scheffler, as the world one extended his brilliant formline of late to a run of 1st-1st-2nd-1st which has set him apart from all others. “I don’t really know what to say,” remarked McIlroy, before collecting his thoughts. “I guess it’s more of the same of what I’ve shown this year. It’s not as if it’s been a down week in comparison to the way I’ve been playing. It’s just a matter of me trying to get my game in a bit better shape going towards the rest of the season.”
“I need to take a little bit of time and reflect on this week and what I did well, what I didn’t do so well, and sort of try to make a plan for the next few months, especially from here going through obviously the end of July. It’s Major season, they’re going to come thick and fast, so hopefully I get myself in a bit better form for those last three,” said McIlroy.
