Scheffler pads lead, 18 holes away from $25M
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.
