Ludvig Aberg, Collin Morikawa and Max Homa were all tied with Scheffler with 12 holes to go Sunday. Then they all made a mistake.
AUGUSTA, Ga. — One clenched his jaw. Another smiled. One walked with a sauntering focus. The walk from the Augusta National driving range to the golf cart is a snapshot into the mindset of the final groups at the Masters. The cart will drive them to the clubhouse, which they’ll walk through on the way to the first tee. Advertisement Collin Morikawa jutted out his jaw, gritting his teeth as he chewed gum deep in the back of his molars. He was in another world.
It took multiple people just to find the ball, and it was buried so deep that he had to take an unplayable lie. “I hit a really good golf shot, and it didn’t feel fair,” Homa said. “I’ve seen far worse just roll back down the hill. Yeah, the professional answer is these things happen.” What makes it worse? While Homa was finding the ball and chipping, Scheffler took a conservative play behind him on 11 and bogeyed. For roughly 30 seconds, Homa was one shot back.
