Scottie Scheffler Holds Lead In Final Round Of The Masters...
World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler is leading the Masters Tournament by three strokes heading into Sunday's final round at Augusta National. The 29-year-old Texan carded a 4-under 68 on Saturday to reach 11-under par, putting him in prime position to win his second green jacket in three years.
Scheffler's steady performance comes amid intense pressure at golf's most prestigious major. His closest challengers include rising star Ludvig Ã…berg (-8) and two-time major winner Collin Morikawa (-7). Tiger Woods struggled with a 10-over 82 on Saturday, his worst Masters round ever.
The tournament is trending nationwide as Americans tune in for Sunday's dramatic conclusion. CBS will broadcast the final round starting at 2 PM ET, with Scheffler's group teeing off at 2:35 PM. A win would cement Scheffler's status as golf's dominant player and net him $3.6 million from the record $20 million purse.
Augusta National's treacherous back nine has produced countless Masters collapses, leaving the outcome uncertain. Scheffler told reporters Saturday night: "I'm just going to go out and do my best. That's all I can control." Golf fans are flooding social media with predictions about whether he can close the deal.
This marks Scheffler's fourth consecutive Masters appearance. He won in 2022 and finished T10 last year. The tournament concludes a dramatic week that saw several weather delays and Jon Rahm's title defense end early after missing the cut.
