Scottie Scheffler has taken the lead at the Masters and will go into the final round with a one-shot lead. He is currently 7-under par and in pursuit of his second green jacket in three years. Collin Moriwaka is one shot behind Scheffler at 6-under par while Max Homa is two shots back and Ludvig Aberg is three shots behind. Bryson DeChambeau, who was in the lead entering the day, is four shots back at 3-under par after a rollercoaster round that saw him seemingly play his way out of contention before a miraculous hole-out on the 18th hole.
The final round at the Masters promises to be full of drama and compelling storylines. If Scottie Scheffler wins, it solidifies his dominance in the game. Collin Morikawa could complete a career Grand Slam with a win, Max Homa could become a popular champion, and a victory for Bryson DeChambeau would be significant for LIV Golf. The presence of Greg Norman, the CEO of LIV Golf, adds an extra layer of intrigue to the tournament. The competitive field also includes Xander Schauffele, who is not out of contention at 2-under par. In recent history, the Masters winner has typically emerged from the final pairing on Sunday, suggesting that either Scheffler or Morikawa could come out on top.
Scottie Scheffler expressed confidence heading into the final round, stating that he had a better understanding of what to expect on Sunday. Despite the challenging conditions, he remained focused on his game and acknowledged the difficulty of the course. Scheffler showed flashes of emotion during his round, celebrating a couple of key moments with fist pumps. The only potential distraction for Scheffler is his wife, Meredith, who is expecting their first child in Dallas.
