1-ranked golfer, Scottie Scheffler, built off his comfortable five-shot lead at The Masters on Saturday at Augusta National.The 25-year-old Texan yanked his tree shot at the final hole into the towering pines left of the fairway.
He found his ball but had to take a one-shot penalty for an unplayable lie.After dropping his ball where he could take a swing, Scheffler ripped a brilliant long iron off the pine straw that sailed just a couple of feet wide of the flag, rolling off the back of the green.
He putted it up next to the hole and tapped in from about 2 feet for a bogey that felt so much better.Scheffler is at 9-under 207 after three rounds.
