Scottie Scheffler made six birdies over his last 11 holes to cement his status as the No. 1 player in the world with a four stroke win at the Masters. It’s his second Masters title in the last three years and he becomes the 18th player to win the tournament multiple times. Scheffler found himself in a three-way tie for the lead after a bogey on No. 6 before those challengers faltered one by one. Ludvig Aberg of Sweden, looking to become just the third player in Masters history to win the tournament in his first attempt, lost ground when he made double bogey at No. 11 after his approach found the pond. He would be the only one to battle back and try and keep it close before settling for a runner-up finish. Colin Morikawa, who started the day just one shot off the lead, had two double bogeys in a three hole stretch at the turn to fall out of the hunt. He finished in a tie for third with Tommy Fleetwood and Max Homa, whose title hopes ended on the par-3 12th with a double bogey. Scheffler is the fourth-youngest player to have won two green jackets and is clearly the best player in golf at the moment, having won three of his last four starts. …Defending champion Jon Rahm was never a factor finishing tied for 45th, 20 shots behind Scheffler. …Tiger Woods, who extended his streak of consecutive cuts made at the Masters to 24, carded a final round 77 and finished at 16-over 304, the highest 72-hole score of his career. His third round 10-over 82 was his highest score in 99 rounds at the Masters. …Corey Conners finished outside the top 10 for only the second time in his last five weekend appearances at Augusta.  …Adam Hadwin was one of only 20 players to break par in the final round Sunday
