Scottie Scheffler agony as missed putt costs him chance of historic treble

The Telegraph  

Scheffler was trying, in his home state, to emulate Dustin Johnson’s hat-trick feat from 2017 and, in many respects, it is remarkable that the 27-year-old came so close. Not only did the putting gremlins gang up on Scheffler, but he battled with his driver at times and continually relied on his superlative iron play to keep him in contention. While his rivals might be buoyed by Scheffler’s errors at Memorial Park, there can be no question that he remains the overwhelming favourite to win a second Masters title in three attempts. Jager is an interesting late-developer and will now figure ever more prominently on Luke Donald’s radar for next year’s Ryder Cup match in New York, Donald, the Europe captain, can only have been impressed by the 34-year-old’s final-round 67 for a 12-under total to win by one.
