Augusta National Final Results: The Masters Leaderboard
The final standings from the year's inaugural major golf tournament, The Masters, held at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia, are now available. Rory McIlroy, the defending champion, made history by successfully retaining his title, following his playoff victory over Justin Rose the previous year, which made him the sixth player to achieve a career Grand Slam and the first since Tiger Woods. Scottie Scheffler, the world's number one golfer, was the favorite to win the tournament for the third time despite not having a top-10 finish in his last three PGA Tour events. McIlroy posted a one-under 71, finishing one stroke ahead of Scheffler, while Tyrrell Hatton, Justin Rose, Cameron Young, and Russell Henley were tied for third place. Collin Morikawa and Sam Burns shared seventh place, and Max Homa and Xander Schauffele completed the top 10. The Masters, the first of four major golf tournaments in as many months, was followed by 91 players. The PGA Championship, scheduled for May 14-17, the US Open from June 18-21, and The Open from July 16-19, will be the subsequent major golf tournaments. The PGA Tour will proceed to the RBC Heritage at Hilton Head Island in South Carolina, with Justin Thomas as the defending champion. Early coverage will begin on Thursday from 12:30 pm on Sky Sports Golf, with full coverage starting at 7 pm.
