Scottie Scheffler has claimed victory at the 2022 golf Masters at Augusta National, finishing ahead of Ireland’s Rory Mcllroy
Scheffler claimed his first major title, with his final round one-under-par. He finished 10-under for the tournament and five shots ahead of second-placed McIlroy.
Meanwhile, at Scheffler’s home club in Dallas, Texas, nearly every seat was filled as they celebrated the victory.
Scheffler was the tournament’s leader for almost three days, taking home the famous green jacket and 2.7 million dollars in prize money.
Almost lost for words, the world champion says he can’t thank his family enough, and to have the honour of winning the tournament and to have his family there was “incredible.”
After blowing the field away with his stellar performance at the 86th Masters, Scheffler embraced his wife Meredith Scudder.

Tiger Woods’ comeback
Meanwhile, Tiger Woods made a memorable comeback 14-months after surviving an horrific car crash in Los Angeles.
Woods’ was greeted with cheers and celebration at Augusta, with many happy to see the champion back on the green.
Although Woods didn’t play his best, he brought a much-needed injection of nostalgia back to the Tour after completing 72 holes.
Tiger Woods has his eyes firmly set on The Open Championship at St. Andrews, where has won twice before.
I didn’t play my best out there, but just to have the support and appreciation from all the fans, I don’t think words can describe that. Congratulations to Scottie Scheffler on an outstanding win. It’s been a special run. pic.twitter.com/8BAMJKlGFY
