Following his second Masters win in three years, Scottie Scheffler credited God for all his success, saying that everything was written many years ago and that he could do nothing to mess up those plans.

On Sunday, April 14, Scheffler fired a 4-under 68 in the final round to aggregate 11-under and dominantly win the Masters, beating Ludvig Aberg by four strokes. This was his second win at the Augusta National in two years, as he became the first player since Bubba Watson to do so.

The World No. 1 golfer is known to be quite religious and has always credited God for his success. The Augusta win was no different, as he expressed himself during the winner's press conference.

"I believe that today's plans were already laid out many years ago," Scheffler said. "And I could do nothing to mess up those plans. I have been given a gift of this talent, and I use it for God's glory. That's pretty much it."

The 27-year-old added that he tried to compete with the best of his abilities every time and hated losing.

"I feel like that's how I was designed," he continued. "I've been that way since I was a young kid. That's always been a part of me, and I don't think that should be going away anytime soon. I don't think there's anything wrong with that either."
