Augusta National Leaderboard: Final Results from The Masters
The final standings from the year's inaugural major golf tournament, The Masters, held in Augusta, Georgia, are now available. Rory McIlroy successfully defended his title, making history in the process, after winning last year's playoff against Justin Rose to become the sixth player to achieve a career Grand Slam. World number one Scottie Scheffler was the pre-tournament favorite, despite not having a top-10 finish in his last three PGA Tour events. McIlroy clinched the victory with a one-under 71, finishing one stroke ahead of Scheffler, while Tyrrell Hatton, Justin Rose, Cameron Young, and Russell Henley tied for third place. Other notable golfers, including Collin Morikawa, Sam Burns, Max Homa, and Xander Schauffele, also finished in the top 10. The Masters is the first of four majors in men's golf, followed by the PGA Championship, the US Open, and The Open. The PGA Tour will now head to South Carolina for the RBC Heritage, where Justin Thomas will defend his title. The next major men's golf tournament, the PGA Championship, will take place from May 14-17 and will be broadcast live on Sky Sports.
