As a 1-handicapper capable of breaking par but also shooting in the 80s, I didn’t feel like I played perfectly, but I also didn’t feel overwhelmed. In fact, I played about as well as I could have hoped. Here’s what went right.
Scheffler just completed his seventh Masters with undoubtedly one of his more impressive performances, and the truth is that he had a decidedly poor week at Augusta National Golf Club and still nearly won the thing for a third time.
Just as Rory McIlroy answered every doubt in last year’s Masters win, Rose could have come to the sweetest peace with a victory on Sunday. Instead, he walked away with more kudos for his skill and grit, but the nagging feeling that he still couldn’t do enough to seize a green jacket.
After his third-round 65, Scheffler was oddly testy with the media outside of Augusta National’s clubhouse. His interview with CBS’ Amanda Balionis wasn’t quite as spicy, though he still had some things he wanted to get off his chest.
Both men have a chance to claim their second green jacket, with the other standing in the way. If that isn’t a recipe for must-see sports theatre, we don’t know what is.
