The announcer said it right…”what a shot by Scheffler!”

Shot of the tournament?

Possibly.  This has been very entertaining.  I mean a couple of breaks going the other way for Aberg, Homa and/or Morikawa and this could be a tie.  And, if Fleetwood makes even half of what seems like a dozen near miss birdies, he could be leading.

That's Augusta in a nutshell though, right?

You HAVE to miss in the right places and have an insane amount of luck on your side to be competitive 

[Shankster]

Sorry Max… I should have rooted for Deshambles.

[fixyurdivot]

Was that Scottie's cell phone we just heard? 

Spoiler

if it was, it was his wife calling to say... bring home the bacon daddy 

 

[Splatt]

Hear that?

That's Scheffler hammering the nail into the coffin!

Absolutely clinical back 9

Absolutely classy send off comments for Vern Lundquist... betting there isn't a dry eye in the #16 booth.  I , like so many on the forum, grew up listening to his voice.

Thank goodness I pulled Ludvig Aberg in our Member/Masters outing yesterday!

I certainly didn't do my job playing amongst the rice paddies (we had 7" of rain in the last week).

The kid is gonna be a star! I'll keep my day job as an engineer & cancel my plans for playing in Augusta....unless there's a local muni course 

[ILMgolfnut]

Aberg was extremely impressive this week. To think he was playing college golf 12 months ago... But Scottie has been on a tear, I really thought he had the best chance to win, but to pull it off -- that's some serious mental fortitude.

[TSauer]

I’ve become a big fan of Åberg

It was a really good round (and week overall) for Aberg…just ran into a buzz saw with Scheffler.

Me too.  Seems to have a great attitude to go along with a superb game.

Well, congratulations Scottie!! 

[Indy_Oz]

Running out of superlatives for Scheffler today. Has all the appearance of playing a practice round! Seriously impressive win and final round. This back 9. Wow.

Aberg has the hallmarks of a player that will go on to win multiple majors and I agree, he has a fantastic attitude. Just seems to have been enjoying the occasion and atmosphere and, like Scheffler, didn't look to be suffering with big stage nerves. Hell of a major debut!

[TJ Hall]

Phenomenal round by Scheffler…well deserving of the second green jacket!

Congratulations Scottie! 

[Shankster]

Well, I guess Scottie *did* know.

[Splatt]

Aside from prime Tiger, has there ever been a Masters champion that felt so inevitable? 

It was Scottie's to lose before the tournament even began

[jayyarr]

Was a pretty exciting front 9 into a bit of an anticlimactic back. Aberg looks like he has an incredible career ahead of him and scottie just looks incredibly dominant. He genuinely could be the next golfer to get a career grand slam.

A friend and I were just saying that in-year grand slam might be worth a few $$. Real long shot, but if any current player could pull it off, it's Scheffler.

Agreed.  I mean same year would be wild but honestly you have him Rory Rahm brooks and Colin basically in contention to be the next and i would take him securing it before any of them at this point. 

[JoeCool]

Huge congratulations to Dave ( @tscdave )and Steven ( DCrew7300 ) for their outstanding vision. Unfortunately I don’t really know who of the next 5 guys won the third prize.
That was fun! Thank you to Titliest and the organizers. 

[jbern]

I unfortunately was not able to watch the last couple hours! When I left Scheffler was -6. He and Aberg must have put on a show after that! I’ll have to find a replay and catch it all!  Congrats to Scottie! 

[RoyN]

Only complaint is we have to wait another year for the next one! Congrats Scottie. Guess Vegas was right!

[Rick Leiker]

The fairways look faster than most greens in this country. 

[Preeway]

Came close but no cigar. Tied for third. Great day for Scotty. Was really hoping to see Homa pull it off. Feel good things are coming his way soon. 

[EL30]

Disappointing last day considering how many golfers had a real shot at it after 3 rounds. Not mad with the result but would've been nice to see Aberg, Morikawa, or Homa make a real run at it

[GolfSpy_APH]

I didn't watch a ton, but enjoyed this years masters. It looked tough! Congrats to Scottie. The best in the world and proving it time and time again. 

Mentioned on the NLU podcast, but I am very curious to see how the others stepup and see how they work to take their games to another level or just start playing for second.
