Scottie Scheffler continues his hot streak, holding off Rory McIlroy to win Masters

LA Times  

Scottie Scheffler holds the championship trophy after winning the Masters by three strokes Sunday. Scottie Scheffler won the Masters by five … no, four … no, three shots Sunday, leaving little doubt through 17 holes before nerves finally got to him on the 18th green. An eight-under-par 64 by McIlroy — the tournament’s only bogey-free round of the week — couldn’t unseat Scheffler, who finished at 10-under 278 and has won four times since Super Bowl Sunday. “Throughout the round today when I built up a little bit of a lead, I didn’t want any stress towards the end of the day, and I didn’t break my concentration until we got onto the green on 18,” he said. He was looking to become the second Australian player to win the Masters after Adam Scott and at one point early in the round had cut Scheffler’s lead to a shot.
