An emotional Scottie Scheffler has underlined his dominance of world golf with a second Masters triumph in three years. The world No.1 fended off all challengers in closing with a four-under-par 68 to secure a commanding four-stroke victory over young Swedish sensation Ludvig Aberg at Augusta National on Sunday. He finished with an 11-under 277 total. Americans Max Homa and Collin Morikawa shared third with fast-finishing Englishman Tommy Fleetwood .
He had promised to walk off the course during the final round if he got the call that his heavily pregnant wife Meredith had gone into labour. “I’m coming home. I’ll be coming home as quick as I can. I’m about to cry here in Butler Cabin. It’s a very special time for both of us,” Scheffler said. Starting the day with a one-stroke buffer, Scheffler briefly lost his lead on the front nine as Morikawa, Homa and Aberg - on his major championship debut - all hit the top of the leaderboard.
