Scottie Scheffler claimed solo lead at the Masters after an eventful third round on Saturday (April 13). The 27-year-old shot a one-under 71 to move seven under. The World No. 1 golfer, deemed favorite to win the event, went one clear of Collin Morikawa who carded a 69 for six under. He also gapped second-round leader Bryson DeChambeau.
Scheffler will return to the Augusta National Golf Course on Sunday for the fourth round. He will take the first tee at 2:35 pm ET alongside Morikawa. The ace golfer will follow the pairing of Max Homa and Ludvig Aberg, who’ll hit the first tee at 2:25 pm ET.
It is pertinent to note that Scottie Scheffler was the outright favorite before the Masters started. The golfer remains the top bet on Sunday. Having had a stellar run on the PGA Tour, the 2022 champion will be eyeing to see this event out.
Coming on the back of two back-to-back wins at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and The Players, followed by a T2 finish at the Houston Open, he looks in form to execute the same.
However, Scheffler might pull out of the competition before the finish if his wife Meredith goes into labor. The PGA Tour star confirmed that his wife’s first childbirth is more important to him than the quest for a second green jacket. Scheffler told Sirius XM’s Jason Sobel on Saturday that he will withdraw from the Masters if the need arises.
