AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Scottie Scheffler drained all the drama out of the Masters. Which has become a familiar storyline at Augusta National. Despite that familiar refrain about the tournament not beginning until the back nine on Sunday, it’s become a rarity for it to be decided at the closing holes Scheffler, the world’s top-ranked player, kept that trend going with a flourish. Coming into the first major championship of 2024 as the overwhelming favorite, he more than fulfilled the enormous expectations by cruising to his second green jacket in three years with a four-stroke victory over Masters rookie Ludvig Aberg. If there was ever any doubt, the golfing world now belongs to Scheffler. Everyone else is in chase mode. “Scottie is an amazing golfer,” said Max Homa, one of those who’s got his work cut out for him. “It’s really impressive.” |
