Congrats, Scottie Scheffler! 👏🏆 TheMasters:
Any chance the Australian had to reel in Scheffler were sunk at Augusta National's famous short par-3 12th, when Smith's tee shot faded right of his target and into Rae's Creek. He shot 73 and finished in a tie for third with Ireland's Shane Lowry, five back of Scheffler.
Scheffler's win was his fourth in six starts. Two months ago, he had yet to win on the PGA Tour, but he rattled off wins at the WM Phoenix Open, Arnold Palmer Invitational and WGC-Dell Match Play to rise to No. 1 in the Official World Golf Ranking and become the game's hottest player. In winning in his third Masters start, Scheffler joins Dustin Johnson , Tiger Woods , Fred Couples and Ian Woosnam as Masters champions to win while holding the No. 1 ranking.
Scheffler attended Highland Park High School in Dallas, Texas, where he played basketball and golf. He won the WM Phoenix Open on Sunday, Feb. 13, and that night former Highland Park High quarterback Matthew Stafford won the Super Bowl with the Los Angeles Rams. The Masters win was also a milestone for caddie Ted Scott, who has now carried three winning bags. He caddied for Bubba Watson during the Florida native's victories in 2012 and 2014.
