Scottie Scheffler is the No. 1 player in the world and has a Masters green jacket to show for it.
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- That new No. 1 ranking for Scottie Scheffler looks even better in a Masters green jacket.
"I never made it this far. It was just a dream of being here and competing," Scheffler said in Butler Cabin, moments before Hideki Matsuyama helped him into the green jacket."I can't put into words what it means that I'll be able to come back here for a lifetime." The Sunday theater, thrilling and tragic, belonged to everyone else. Scheffler overcame a nervy moment early in the round by chipping in for birdie. He delivered key putts to keep Cameron Smith at bay and never looked rattled, even as he was swatting at short putts at the end.
His pitch was racing toward the hole when it banged into the pin and dropped for an unlikely birdie, and a two-shot swing when Smith from the same position made bogey.The 12th hole remains the most riveting par 3 in golf, the scene of more collapses than comebacks. Smith became the latest victim.
