AUGUSTA, GEORGIA - APRIL 11: Scottie Scheffler of the United States hits his second shot on the 17th hole during the third round of the 2026 Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club on April 11, 2026 in Augusta, Georgia.

The world number one and two-time Masers winner began his Saturday even through two days. By the time he walked off of the 18th green he was 7-under thanks to a round at that same mark.
Scheffler survived Augusta National without a single bogey on Saturday, things looked pretty treacherous after an errant shot at 18, and put himself within striking distance to win a third green jacket if he has a similar Sunday outing.
It is always a matter of time until Scheffler gets going in whatever tournament he is in play at. This season specifically has seen him really turn things around on the weekend and this year’s Masters is proving to be no exception.
Scheffler posted his score without knowing exactly what he would be chasing on Sunday, but the fact is that he is firmly in the race. That is enough for everyone else to be very cognizant of.
So it goes.
