They?chased and they 押し進めるd and a Swedish 惑星 flew impossibly high over Georgia, but across an 吸収するing final day, all comers succumbed to the 必然的な 結局. 広大な/多数の/重要な Scottie Scheffler, master of Augusta once again.

For the second time in three years, this 暗殺者 with the でっちあげる,人を罪に陥れる and personality of a gentle 巨大(な) 設立する himself cloaked in a green jacket. He was the best golfer of the week and it is getting ever harder to argue against him 存在 the finest of his 時代, too.

He was fabulous here in this four-発射 victory. It's not that he was impervious to 神経s in 収集するing the 68 that gave him his winning 示す of 11 under par. Nor that it was 遂行するd without missteps.


But it was fabulous in that way of all fabulous sportsmen. It was fabulous for his 支配(する)/統制する of the time and the space around him. Fabulous for his ability to take those moments of the greatest 強調する/ストレス, and the greatest 脅し, and bend events to his will.

And how he did that here, when his game was not やめる as impregnable as it can be and when a magnificent young talent (機の)カム for him.

Which is the point where we will discuss Ludvig Aberg. Goodness, what a player, and we knew that already of course. We knew he only turned professional 10 months ago and has killed time with two 勝利,勝つs and a 勝利を得た Ryder Cup in arguably the hottest 打開 since Tiger 支持を得ようと努めるd.

But this was his first major and by the の近くに he was Scheffler's nearest 競争相手. After seven 穴を開けるs, Aberg had leapt from his starting 封鎖するs on four under to six. Scheffler had regressed from seven to the same 示す and that is where they also discovered Collin Morikawa. There we had it - a three-way tie and some jeopardy. One of those 沈む or swim moments.

How did Scheffler 答える/応じる? Three straight birdies from the eighth and the 慰安 of a two-一打/打撃 cushion again. That was when 大虐殺 befell the chasing pack ? Max Homa, one of the 夜通し 競争相手s, disappeared without a 祈り at Amen Corner. Morikawa had 二塁打 bogeys at nine and 11. Aberg got wet at 11 and by then the gap between them was four ? Scheffler on nine under, Aberg at five.

The 選び出す/独身 point of consistency in al l that turbulence? Scheffler. They had their wobbles and he just ploughed on. When Aberg went on another 殺到する, getting 支援する to within two with five to play, Scheffler 設立する a little more gas for the engine and tucked away another three birdies in four 穴を開けるs.

By the time he got to the 18th green, no one could catch him. That is what greatness looks like ? turning the stressful into a stroll through a country club. Taking the blows of a brilliant chasing pack and just riding it out. It is what 支持を得ようと努めるd used to do and Scheff ler 株 one particular 質 with him, beyond a tee to green game that rarely 行方不明になるs - a mind that doesn't fluster.

Which might sound 過度の of a man who has only two majors to his 指名する. But it isn't. Now that his putting has been 直す/買収する,八百長をするd, or 直す/買収する,八百長をするd to an extent that it was only sporadically wobbly here, he can seem untouchable. We used to say the same of Rory McIlroy at his best, but his game and mind never seemed やめる as 納得させるing as this Texan native.

Consider for a moment how he dwarfed Morikawa, his playing partner. They started the final 一連の会議、交渉/完成する in the same group and, with two majors to his 指名する, Morikawa knows how to swallow 圧力. In Scheffler's 影をつくる/尾行する, his US Ryder Cup team-mate only carded a 74 to tie for third with Tommy Fleetwood, who snatched a brilliant backdoor finish with a 69. They and Max Homa were three behind Aberg. Cameron Smith led the LIV 旅団 with Bryson DeChambeau at two under.

Earlier, 支持を得ようと努めるd 発射 a 77 to finish dead last の中で those who made the 削減(する). A final 一致する of 16 over was one of those numbers that goes to 証明する sport loves nothing more than に引き続いて a tickle with a smack in the chops. In time he might 反映する that success has many guises and not always in the form of トロフィーs, but probably not for a while. That said, making the 週末 here on 24 連続した occasions is really やめる remarkable.

Rory McIlroy had no such gloss from a (選挙などの)運動をする that never 点火(する)d ? his の近くにing 73 for four over did nothing but 長引かせる a 悪口を言う/悪態, though it was at least superior to the defending 支持する/優勝者 Jon Rahm. His 76 dragged him 負かす/撃墜する to nine over and a place 深い の中で the also-rans.

And yet we have known for days that they were not going to be the story. They were nowhere 近づく the 空中戦/乱闘 at the 最高の,を越す, in which Scheffler started his last 宙返り飛行 at seven under and with Morikawa, Homa and Aberg in の近くに company.

The question was whether the vulnerabilities Scheffler had shown in his third-一連の会議、交渉/完成する 71 might signal some hope, 特に around his 中央の-範囲 putting, which had relapsed a little on Saturday.

Here, he was 最初 a little unsteady and was 軍隊d to 生き残る both a 運動 into sand and an overhit approach into the (人が)群がる to par the second. A birdie 経由で the sand at the third brought him to eight under and a two-一打/打撃 lead, but that slipped with another 攻撃する,衝突する into the gallery at the fourth, which 原因(となる)d a bogey.

When Scheffler then bogeyed seven with trips into the trees and sand, it became 特に 利益/興味ing as Aberg was looking exceptional in all departments, 特に off the tee. A 22-foot birdie on the second and a 100-yard wedge to four feet at seven were 最高潮の場面s of a 24-year-old who somehow manages to 越える his hype.

So how did Scheffler 答える/応じる? He birdied three in a 列/漕ぐ/騒動 from the eighth to reach nine under, 含むing a pair of 10-footers after failing to take a couple of earlier 適切な時期s from 類似の distance. In truth, the chasers never 回復するd, with calamities 生じるing all except Scheffler. Spare a thought for Morikawa ? he had a 広大な/多数の/重要な week, as did Homa, but his 企て,努力,提案 効果的に ended when it took two 発射s to escape a (船に)燃料を積み込む/(軍)地下えんぺい壕 on the ninth. That 二塁打 was followed by another at 11 when he 解雇する/砲火/射撃d in the same greenside lake which swallowed Aberg a few moments earlier.

They all had 裁判,公判s and tribulations and つまずくs because it was Masters Sunday. So did Scheffler, who collected a third bogey on the 11th, but his (軽い)地震s were small and usually followed by a quick 返答. That is no 事故. Strength of mind is a 技術 and Scheffler's mind is as strong.

Aberg would プロの/賛成のd at him once more with birdies at 16 and 17, but nothing could get in his 長,率いる. Nothing could yank his ball too far off line. Nothing or no one could stop the world No 1 from chasing 負かす/撃墜する another jacket.
