The world No.1 fended off all challengers at Augusta in closing with a four under par 68 to secure a commanding four-stroke victory.
Unflappable American Scottie Scheffler claimed a second US Masters title in three years on Sunday , the world No.1 holding steady while his biggest challengers self-destructed making their way through Amen Corner.
The red-hot favourite coming into the year’s first major, Scheffler leaves Augusta National as the planet’s undisputed best with three titles and a runner-up finish in his last four starts. The drama actually started a little earlier at the ninth this year, where Scheffler had a tap-in birdie, that he nearly holed out for an eagle, to lead by one heading into the turn.All around Scheffler, challengers were unravelling. Morikawa, who started the day one behind the leader, took a double bogey at nine to fall three shots off the pace.
Even Scheffler could not escape Amen Corner unscathed with his run of three birdies ending with a bogey at 11.
