Hat-tricks by Barnabas and Damien
DINDIGUL:
Tommy Fleetwood.
Scheffler, who matched Tiger Woods as the only players to win the Masters twice while atop the world rankings, also became the fourthyoungest multiple Masters winner at age 27 behind Woods, Jack Nicklaus and the late Seve Ballesteros.
Woods shot 77 to finish 60th on 16over 304 and said he plans to play the year’s other three majors.
Scheffler, who hasn’t played a round over par since last August, has the secondfewest Masters starts for any twotime winner with five. Only Horton Smith needed fewer, taking two of the first three Augusta titles in the 1930s.
Aberg pressured Scheffler down the stretch but could not catch him.
“Ludvig played great,” Scheffler said. “He made a good move at me there on the back nine and I was fortunate to hold him off.”
Secondranked Rory McIlroy, who needs only a Masters victory to complete a career grand slam, fired a 73 to finish on 292.
Thirdranked Jon Rahm, the 2023 winner, fired a 76 to finish on 297.
