As he walked up the fairway on 16, Scottie Scheffler got a roar from the patrons in the grandstands. Even with that, he didn’t show much in the way of emotion. His calm, cool demeanor has carried him all weekend.
He’s now 12-under, after a birdie on 15. Just a few minutes away from a Green Jacket.
5:50 PM - RORY!

Rory McIlroy just finished his round with an 8-under 64, matching the lowest final round in Masters history. The only bogey-free round of the tournament.
And boy was it dramatic. After going bunker to bunker, McIlroy drained his shot from the greenside bunker. And to make it a little better, his playing partner, Collin Morikawa did the same thing! He finishes 4-under, tied for third at the moment.
He finishes 7-under, currently three back of Scheffler, who parred 13 and now has five holes left to play, and a little more pressure.

The 12th hole at Augusta National, Golden Bell, has crushed many a dream over the years.
Cameron Smith just became the latest victim. A triple-bogey 6 has moved him back to third place, 4-under for the tournament.
Scheffler parred the hole and is now four shots ahead of Rory McIlroy.
5:15 PM - Smith Drops Back

A bogey on 10 for Cameron Smith has now put Rory McIlroy into a tie for second at 6-under.
Scottie Scheffler had a bogey as well and is 10-under through 10.
Can he hold on?
4:40 - Lowry Clawing Back

Shane Lowry watched most of his chances disappear with a disappointing triple-bogey on the par-3 4th hole.
Or did he?
Lowry has clawed back with three more birdies (joining his birdie on the second) and closed his front nine a remarkable 1-under.
He’s now 3-under overall, tied for fourth.
Meanwhile, Rory just keeps being Rory. An eagle on 13 has him 7-under on his round, 6-under overall, in solo third.
4:30 PM - Status Quo

Things have finally settled down a bit after that wild hour or so there.
Scottie Scheffler leads by four still, at 11-under, with Cameron Smith at 7-under. They are playing the eighth hole currently.
Rory McIlroy and Sungjae Im are tied for third, 4-under on the tournament. Justin Thomas has quietly climbed up to solo fifth, 2-under on his round, 3-under overall.
4 PM - More Rory

Apparently Rory wants to be the story today. Another birdie, this one with a lot of noise behind it, and he’s now in third alone, six shots back.

We’ve talked so much about how remarkable it is that Tiger Woods is even playing golf.
Arguably the greatest golfer to ever live has finished the 2022 Masters. No, it wasn’t the score he wanted, but that he made it at all is incredible.
He had just one birdie on the card in the final round, to go with five bogeys and a double bogey. He finishes at 13-over for the tournament.
Scottie Scheffler found trouble on the first, but managed to save his par. But Cam Smith drilled a birdie putt. The lead is down to 2 strokes.

It may be asking a lot to get anywhere near Scottie Scheffler or Cameron Smith today, but Australia’s Min Woo Lee is trying to make a case.
Lee is 4-under on his round so far today, playing the eighth currently. He had an eagle on the second, and back-to-back birdies on 6 and 7.
He’s now even-par for the tournament, tied for eighth place.
Scheffler and Smith tee off in 20 minutes.
1 PM - Henley Show

Russell Henley has the round of the day so far!
Henley has birdies on 2, 6, 7, 8 and 9 and is a remarkable 5-under on his round, after a front nine 31!
He’s 2-over for the tournament still, as he had a lot of ground to make up, but he’s doing well in making a case for a much bigger paycheck today. He’s currently tied for 14th.
Meanwhile, Tiger Woods just finished his front nine with a 38, 2-over on the round, and 9-over on the tournament.
12:10 PM - A Record Buy

It seems like a lifetime ago that Tiger Woods won the Tiger Slam, all four major championships consecutively, back in 2000-2001.
But that remarkable golf memory was brought back to the spotlight recently, when the set of irons Tiger used to win those Majors were sold at auction for… $5,156,162!
A Houston man, who bought the clubs in 2010 for just $57,242, sold them recently, after saying he wanted them to be able to be sign outside of his own home.

Augusta giveth, Augusta taketh away. Tiger Woods gave his birdie right back on 4 with a bogey. Such is the life of Funday Sunday at the Masters.
Austria’s Sepp Straka with the strongest start of the day so far. He’s got birdies on 1 and 2, and is now 4-over for the tournament.
11:20 - A Couple More Birdies

A couple more birdies on some cards now. Patrick Cantlay had a birdie on 3, and one Tiger Woods had a birdie on 2. Both are 1-under on their rounds.

Last night, we took a look at the hardest 9 holes of the tournament so far.
It’s worth noting that, many of the holes you’d expect to be super challenging, haven’t exactly been like normal.
11 AM - Early Action

There are 10 golfers on the course currently, and there’s not a whole lot going on with any of them.
There are no birdies yet… correction, Billy Horschel just got the first of the day at 3 as we were typing.
There are a couple of bogeys – one each from Mackenzie Hughes and Cameron Davis. Tiger will have a long birdie putt on 1, but is likely looking at a par there. (He did in fact get the par.)
His playing partner Jon Rahm with a messy start, getting a bogey on the first after missing a fairly straight putt for par.
