Scottie Scheffler has done it again, winning the Masters for the second time in three years. This one at Augusta National Golf Club may have been even more impressive.
Finishing with an impressive score of 11 under, Scheffler showcased remarkable skill and resilience, holding off strong competition from Ludvig ?...berg and Collin Morikawa along the way.
Scheffler's achievement in becoming the first player since Bubba Watson in 2012 and 2014 to win the Masters twice is the latest example of just how dominant he's been lately. His previous stint as the world No. 1, coupled with his 2022 victory, aligns him with golfing legends Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus as one of the few players to win multiple major championships while holding the top spot in the Official World Golf Ranking.

Moreover, Scheffler's recent success extends beyond the Masters. His victory at the Players Championship last month, followed by his triumph at Augusta, places him in elite company. Only five golfers in history have managed to win both the Players Championship and a major in the same calendar year. Joining Woods and Nicklaus as one of the few players to have multiple victories at both tournaments further solidifies Scheffler's status among the greats of the game.
