Resilient Scheffler Captures First Masters Title With Thrilling Victory
THE MASTERS

Rolex Testimonee and World No.1, Scottie Scheffler has won the 86th Masters Tournament in dominating fashion, holding firm down the stretch to claim the coveted Green Jacket.

Scheffler, the world's top ranked golfer held a three-shot lead heading into the final day to produce another impressive round, playing with great precision and style throughout the tournament demonstrating unrivalled finesse and skill around the greens in his quest for perpetual excellence and his first major title.

With this thrilling performance, the 25-year-old from USA, who turned professional in 2018, secured the first major title of his career and fourth worldwide victory, joining an esteemed group of players to have won their first major at Augusta National Golf Club including Rolex Testimonees Adam Scott, Jordan Spieth and Tiger Woods.

"I always just dreamed of being here and competing. I can't put into words what it means that I'll be able to come back here for a lifetime. To have the honour of winning the golf tournament is so special," said Scheffler.

Scheffler, who only won his first PGA title in February, holed a spectacular chip-in birdie from 87 feet at the par-4 third to blunt an early charge by Smith, the current Players Championship winner.

"It was not a shot I expected to see go in but it got things off and rolling for me," Scheffler said.

He also birdied the 14th and sank a 14-foot birdie putt at the par-5 15th to signal there would be no collapse to open a door for Mcllroy, chasing an Augusta National win to complete a career Grand Slam.
