The Green Jacket Goes to…

🏌️ American Scottie Scheffler, the #1 ranked golfer in the world, cruised to victory at Augusta this weekend, shooting 10 under par to win the Masters (and a record $2.7 million payout) by three strokes.

• Sheffler had a record-tying 5-stroke lead after two rounds; the other four players to achieve this mark also went on to win the Masters.
• Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy placed second thanks to a blistering final round – he shot -8 on Sunday to finish the tournament at 7-under, tying the all-time Masters record for lowest round four score. (He also holed-out from the bunker on 18.)
• In his first major tournament since last year’s car crash, Tiger Woods made the cut but finished in 47th place, shooting 6-over on Sunday to finish +13.

👀 Looking ahead.. The next major on the schedule is the PGA Championship in Tulsa, OK, starting May 19 – then the US Open in Brookline, MA, the following month.
