McIlroy’s fight seemed to be running as he played from a warehouse to a shelter in the 72nd hole of the tournament. Instead, the Northern Irishman drilled in the sand. The ensuing delirium of McIlroy and the galleries will remain a moment for centuries. His 64th match matched the lowest final lap ever recorded in the Masters. His second place represents a high career in this great. However, that was Scheffler’s day. as was the year of Scheffler. What he may lack in personality, he replaces it with iron precision that defies the pressure he has to exert even on professional golfers. Quick guide

I can not talk enough about this place. It’s amazing that I can come back so often. In a way, I’m glad I did the last one, it’s made me a little less emotional to talk now. “ There is always a moment. For Scheffler he reached Flowering Peach, Augusta’s 3rd hole. Cameron Smith, who wanted to become the only player other than Tiger Woods to win the Players’ Championship and Masters the same year, had reduced three-year-old Scheffler by two-thirds in two holes. Scheffler had found a problem in the 3rd, from where he could only leave an approach away from the green. What followed was like hitting a heavyweight boxer on Smith and another proof that everything Scheffler touches in a professional context, for the time being at least, is turning to gold. Scheffler’s chip was running at such a rate that it could have just stayed in the green if it had not hit the flag and dropped to the bottom of the cup for a bird of three. As Smith flinched, the No. 1 advantage in the world was once again three. Smith was never going to get close to Scheffler, who won his maiden category by three with a margin of 10 below par. His last round was 71. As Smith withered – his ambitions for the glory of the Masters ended by finding water from his T-shirt in the 12th – McIlroy entered the court like a demon. McIlroy was 13 years old with Scheffler sometime on Saturday afternoon. He started the fourth 10th round without the lead. McIlroy reached the turn in the 32nd and gave a bird in the 10th before hitting the air at the time of his eagle at 13. Pars in the 15th and 16th seemed ominous for the four-time winner, but fireworks were reserved for the latter. Scheffler went over the pitch, but McIlroy will obviously enjoy what he produced in the fourth round. Rory McIlroy Celebrates After Entering Shelter at 18.

I leave this tournament the happiest I have ever done. “I took it a little bit, but I did it wonderfully and I can not ask for anything other than myself. I went out there today, scoring my best score ever in Augusta. It’s my best finish. Not good enough, but I’ll be back next year and keep trying. “ Scheffler’s bird in the 14th owed everything to a great approach shot. With McIlroy climbing in front of a TV and Smith no longer a threat, Scheffler knew he could play the last four holes in three overs and win. Something that would be boring, of course. The 25-year-old made a bird in the 15th, the last demonstration of a grip he did not want to relax. Scheffler brought his share of luck – he would call it providence – on the road to victory, but this tends to happen when a golfer is on that kind of path. It will not always be so for Scheffler, he just feels different right now. Quick guide

Thank you for your response. Collin Morikawa, who played in McIlroy’s company, also dug in the sand in the latter. McIlroy also praised it. Morikawa’s 67 was enough for fourth place in the four under. Shane Lowry’s 69 meant he tied Smith for third place, a shot in front of the Open champion. Justin Thomas’s 73 left him in the lurch. Will Zalatoris, second in the Masters 12 months ago, further emphasized the specialization of the courses with 67 which raised him to 3 under. Zalatoris therefore finished in sixth place. He will return in 2023. Much earlier, having finished at the foot of the remaining 52-man stadium, Tyrrell Hatton had gone publicly to what few men do, expressing concern about the Masters venue. “You can get good shots here and not get any rewards for that,” Hatton said. “It’s unfair sometimes. I do not agree with that. If you get a good shot, you should end up near the hole. Then they did not enter a shelter because of the slopes they have created and other things. Scottie Scheffler is high-fingering his best man, Ted Scott, at 18 as Cam Smith leaves. Photo: Justin Lane / EPA “I do not think it is a fair test sometimes, and when you shoot well and you are not rewarded for it, it seems. I did not enjoy it. ” Hatton’s membership invitation remains stuck in place. For Scheffler, happier moments. To be precise: $ 2.7 million, a Green Jacket and fourth win in 2022. It is surprising to think that before the first of these, the Phoenix Open in February, Scheffler had not prevailed in the PGA Tour. Since then he is completely ruthless. Just ask Rory McIlroy.
