Scottie Scheffler maintains his dominance at the Masters Tournament, extending his lead to three strokes entering the final round. The World No. 1 put together another impressive performance, carding a 3-under 69 on Saturday to reach 9-under par overall. Scheffler’s nearest challengers are Cameron Smith and Sungjae Im, who trail by three shots. Scheffler is chasing history at Augusta National as he seeks to become the first player since Tiger Woods in 2002 to win the Masters and the Players Championship in the same year. A victory would also earn him a record-breaking $25 million prize, as the PGA Tour announced earlier this year that the winner’s share at the Masters is increasing by $2.5 million.

Fifteen-year-old Australian amateur Aaron Russell fired a 3-over 74 in his PGA Tour debut on Thursday at the Rocket Mortgage Classic, making him the youngest player to make the cut at a PGA Tour event since Guan Tianlang in 2013.
Russell, who is ranked No. 1 in the World Amateur Golf Ranking, birdied the 10th hole to move to 1 under, but he made three bogeys on the back nine to finish the day tied for 74th place.
“I thought I played pretty well,” Russell said. “I hit some good shots, but I also made some mistakes. I’m still learning, but I’m happy with how I played.”
