Scottie Scheffler's Faith and Determination Lead to Second Major Championship at The Masters

Scottie Scheffler, the 27-year-old professional golfer, secured his second major championship title at the 2024 Masters Tournament held at Augusta National Golf Club. Scheffler finished with a score of -11, four shots ahead of Ludvig Aberg from Sweden. The victory marks Scheffler's second Green Jacket in three years and makes him only the second player to win both the PGA Tour's Players title and the Masters in the same season.

Scheffler, who is expecting his first child with wife Meredith, shared a heartfelt message with her during his victory speech. He told reporters that he would leave Augusta National if she went into labor. The couple tied the knot in 2020 and have been together since high school.

The Masters win was not only a personal triumph for Scheffler but also a testament to his unwavering determination and faith. He revealed that he believes his plans for the tournament were already laid out, and he uses his faith to compete. Scheffler's approach shot to the ninth green for birdie during the final round was inch-perfect, and he birdied the 10th hole as well. He navigated Amen Corner without disaster on the final day.

Scheffler entered Augusta National as the world number one golfer and will leave with his ranking intact. The birth of his first child is eagerly anticipated by both him and Meredith.

The Masters victory adds to Scheffler's impressive resume, which includes wins at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and the PGA Tour's Players Championship. He joins Tiger Woods as the only players to win both titles in the same season.

    • But when you slow it down and see that impact position his right foot position is kind of irrelevant to what happens in the rest of the swing.
      • He deserves all the plaudits flying his direction. Traditionally this has been his time of year and it will be interesting to see whether he continues this dominance at the year’s remaining three majors, especially with impending fatherhood.
        • He has only been beaten by one player since March
          • In Scheffler, the game already has one. Even in a sport as unpredictable as the game of golf, he is undoubtedly the man to beat at the moment.
            • Technically he is unusual. And if you watch his swing without slowing it down you wonder how he has hit so many shots with that swing.
