The 27-year-old closed with a 68, collecting his second green jacket at Augusta National with a dominant display.
Top-ranked Scottie Scheffler dominated a back-nine shootout to capture his second Masters title, taking a four-stroke victory at Augusta National.
Scheffler, who also took the green jacket in 2022, won a record $3.6m top prize after a drama-filled battle on Sunday with fellow Americans Collin Morikawa and Max Homa and Sweden’s Ludvig Aberg, who made an impressive major debut.
“I can’t put into words what it means to win this tournament again,” Scheffler said.
Scheffler birdied three of the last six holes to fire a four-under par 68 and finish 72 holes over the iconic 7,555-yard layout on 11-under 277 with Aberg shooting 69 to finish second on 281.
Two-time major winner Morikawa had a closing 74 to share third on 284 with Homa and England’s Tommy Fleetwood.
