World No.1 Scottie Scheffler cemented his stature as the game’s current dominant golfer with a second victory at the Masters Tournament in three years. It was also his ninth career PGA Tour victory and third title in four starts. His four-stroke win over Ludvig Åberg came just weeks before the arrival of his first child with his wife, Meredith. This is his blog from Augusta National.
While the CBS’ final-round ratings followed the trend in 2024 of being down from the previous year, some interactions and observations from being at this year’s Masters eased this writer’s mind.
Neal Shipley will officially go down as the low amateur at the Masters but, unofficially, he was also the high golfer in terms of viral moments from Sunday at Augusta National.
Scheffler shot 33 on the inward nine and produced six birdies in the last 11 holes, none of those requiring a putt of longer than 10 feet. That’s how dialled in he was.
This was a week of attrition, and while others were worn down by the course and the wind or the significance of what they were trying to chase, the unassuming superstar was undeterred by his surroundings, in command of his game and of himself. For that, Scheffler earned his second Masters title.
So who wants to win a green jacket? Australians, anyone? Cam Davis, how about you? Cam Smith, want to add a green jacket to that Open Championship claret jug you’ve got at home, mate?
Cameron Davis is so good at golf he can hit the ball left-handed better than you can hit it right-handed. If you don’t believe us, scroll down. The 29-year-old Sydney native is so good at golf, he has no idea what bad golf looks like. He was probably in nappies the last time a par earned him three points in stableford.
Neal Shipley is the envy of every golfer in the world right now. Not only was he just one of five amateurs in the 2024 Masters field, but he wrapped up his second round inside the projected cut line—meaning he’ll have two more rounds at Augusta National this weekend.
Cam Davis upstaged big-name fellow Australians Cam Smith, Adam Scott and Jason Day to lead the Australian contingent after a windy second round at the Masters at Augusta National.
It’s usually a good idea to not judge the potential success of an endeavour by how it starts. Apollo 13 launched successfully on this date in 1970, and, well, that ride ended up getting kind of bumpy.
Cameron Davis had to suppress a laugh when asked how he felt about shooting his way into contention at Augusta National on a windy, weather-delayed first round at the 88th Masters.
