If Scottie Scheffler’s sporting career continues like this, Ted Scott will become a kind of second Steve Williams. The New Zealander was in the pocket of the GOAT in Tiger Woods’ heyday and became the wealthiest sportsman in his home country thanks to the ten per cent share of the boss’s prize money.

Ted Scott and his unique way of celebrating the Masters win

This year, Ted Scott has already shared in Scheffler’s successes at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and the Players Championship as well as the other top placings, and his Masters triumph adds another 360,000 dollars in prize money commission. This year, the man in his early fifties has certainly earned more money from the world number one’s pocket than, for example, Rory McIlroy on the fairways.

In total, the former mini tour pro is likely to have raked in just under six million dollars since Scheffler persuaded him to give up early retirement in 2021, which Scott decided to do after splitting with Bubba Watson. Interestingly, he won the Masters Tournament with the left-hander in 2012 and 2014, and exactly ten years later he repeated the feat with Scottie Scheffler. And because he secured the flag of 18 again yesterday, including the flagstick as a trophy, Ted Scott can celebrate the victory again like he did two years ago:

2022 was Scottie Scheffler’s finest hour. The young up-and-coming player first appeared on the radar of the golf world when he won four tournaments in the space of six weeks. Among these four victories, he celebrated the biggest success of his career: Scottie Scheffler won the Green Jacket at the Masters Tournament.

Scottie Scheffler and the Masters Tournament

2022 was not Scheffler’s first time taking part in golf’s most traditional major tournament. He had already made his debut two years earlier in 2020, where he finished tied 19th, improved to tied 18th the following year and 2022 ultimately celebrated one of his greatest triumphs. The then 25-year-old beat the experienced Rory McIlroy by three strokes to secure not only the famous Green Jacket but also his position at the top of the world rankings.

With four rounds under par (Scheffler was the only one to achieve this that year), he proved that he could cope with the extraordinary challenges of Augusta National Golf Club. Scottie Scheffler makes no secret of his love for the tournament. In his acceptance speech after his 2022 victory, he reveals: “I love this place. I love this golf course. If I had to choose one tournament to win, it would be this one.”

Scheffler’s chances at the Masters Tournament 2024

Last year, the now 27-year-old was unable to defend his title and was beaten by Spaniard Jon Rahm. However, the American has nothing to hide with his tied tenth place and records his fourth top 20 finish in his fourth Masters start. This year, the cards will be reshuffled.

Scottie Scheffler will once again start the race as the world number 1 and is therefore one of the favorites. Having been in top form for several years now, he will go into the first major of the year in a stronger position and will certainly be in for an exciting battle with his strongest rivals. He has also impressed with his performance in the current season. In eight starts, Scottie Scheffler has finished in the top 20 eight times and won two of the tournaments. Among his two victories, the Players Championship was the unofficial “fifth major” of the PGA Tour – there could not have been a better dress rehearsal for Scheffler.

Besides his Masters victory in 2022, Scottie Scheffler has yet to win another major, but has finished in the top 25 at every single major since 2020. Last year, he finished three out of four majors in the top 10.

The final day of the Masters Tournament 2024 has gone exceptionally well for Jon Rahm so far, considering the defending champion’s performances in the previous round. But with this extraordinary birdie, he probably tops all previous shots in his tournament.

Hole-out for birdie: Jon Rahm with a magic shot at the Masters Tournament 2024

After a poor tee shot between the trees on the right-hand side of the seventh fairway, Jon Rahm could only save himself with a flat chip back onto the fairway. The par no longer seemed safe at this point and a birdie was certainly out of the question from the Spaniard’s perspective. But, as we all know, one should never give up hope. From 80 yards, Rahm achieved a feat with his wedge and the ball went into the hole for a birdie.

Despite his rather modest round with too many bogeys, DeChambeau was able to conclude the third day with a hole-out at the 18th.

All in all, the American can start the final day with a good feeling and hopes for an overall victory. Scottie Scheffler, as the solo leader, has the best chances, with Collin Morikawa closely behind him after a very good third day.

The third day at the The Masters Tournament 2024 in Augusta has concluded, and an interesting Moving Day with many changes at the top of the leaderboard provided some highlights for the spectators.

The remaining 60 players after the cut once again struggled with the challenging conditions in Georgia. Only a few players were able to achieve under-par scores, with Scottie Scheffler leading the way, followed by Collin Morikawa, who had a good day, at the top of the leaderboard.

While the wind subsided somewhat on the third day in Augusta, it didn’t make it any easier for the players. Challenging pin positions required thoughtful and precise play, making birdies a rarity. However, despite or perhaps because of the demanding conditions, there were still some highlights in the third round.

The Masters Tournament

The US Masters 2024, taking place from April 11th to 15th, is set to thrill the hearts of many golf fans. In 2023, Jon Rahm triumphed at the Augusta National Golf Club, securing his second major title. The US Masters Tournament in Augusta is the first of the four annual major tournaments in professional golf. It always takes place in April and is held on the same golf course – the Augusta National in Georgia, USA. For professional players, the Masters in Augusta is a true prestige event and perhaps the most important of the four golf major titles. The winner of the US Masters Tournament receives a lifetime membership at the Augusta National Golf Club and, additionally, the iconic Green Jacket, which can be worn for one year before being returned to the Augusta National Golf Club for safekeeping. Furthermore, the tournament winner gets to take home a small trophy in the shape of the Augusta clubhouse and can look forward to the annual invitation to the Champions Dinner as well as a lifetime exemption.

The Masters Tournament 2024: Scheffler early Birdie Bonanza

Scheffler’s round began with a birdie on the first hole, as well as the third hole, bringing him to two under par early in the round. This early gain set a positive tone, though he gave a stroke back on the fourth, rounding out the front nine with a score of 35, one under par.

Back Nine Battle: Scheffler’s Resilience

The back nine proved more challenging for Scheffler, including a double bogey on the 10th and a bogey on the 11th that momentarily knocked him off the lead. However, a critical par save on the 12th and an eagle on the 13th marked a significant turnaround, allowing him to regain momentum and maintain his position atop the leaderboard. In his recount of this shot during the press conference he highlighted his technical skill but also the emotional release of executing under pressure. “And then that putt on 13 was nice because it was trickling up towards the cup. I didn’t know whether or not it was going to get there, and it kind of just nudged right over the edge and went in. So it was exciting, and it was nice to be able to steal a couple shots there on 13 and get back in the tournament,” Scheffler reflected.
He finished the round with a 36 on the back nine after playing another two birdies on 15 and 18 and a bogey on 17, mirroring his front nine score and cementing his lead with a total of 71 for the day.

Scottie Scheffler on Conquering Augusta’s Third Round

During the press conference, Scottie Scheffler discussed the difficulties faced during the round, especially with the gusts affecting his play on the 10th and 11th holes and highlighted the importance of resilience. “You know, things happen pretty fast out there… But it’s a major championship. I don’t think Augusta wants their golf course to be very easy,” he commented.

He described the greens as “ridiculously fast and firm,” a condition that significantly impacted his putting game, particularly on the 14th hole where he likened putting down the hill to “putting up to a small volcano.” This detail underscores the precision required at Augusta and how course conditions can dramatically influence play.

Scheffler also discussed his strategy on the back nine, particularly the par 5s, which were crucial for reclaiming momentum. His eagle on the 13th and a birdie on the 15th were critical moments that helped stabilize his round and also propelled him back into a leading position. “It was nice kind of turning my Saturday around… It’s nice to get a few shots back there on the back nine.”

The Masters Tournament 2024: Tiger Woods’s Turbulent Turn in Round Three

Tiger Woods experienced a challenging third round at the Masters Tournament 2024, finishing the day with a score of 82, ten strokes over par. Starting the round at even par, Woods’s performance was hampered by difficulties in both his long game and putting. Notable struggles were consecutive bogeys at holes 6 and 7 and a double bogey on hole 8, significantly impacting his score.

Tiger’s Trials: Woods Wobbles in Round 3 at the Masters Tournament 2024

Throughout the third round, Woods’s score fluctuated, topping with a glimpse of hope with a par at the 5th hole, but quickly being overshadowed by a three-putt on the 6th and a flubbed chip on the 7th. He closed the front nine with six strokes over par. The back nine continued to challenge him, with additional bogeys and a lack of recovery shots that would have helped to stabilize his round.

In a post-round interview, Woods acknowledged his struggles, stating he did not perform well in hitting and putting, which continued throughout the day. “Just hit the ball in all the places that I know I shouldn’t hit it,” Woods explained, emphasizing the impact of missed opportunities on his overall performance. When asked about his physical condition, Woods noted the exhaustion from the previous day’s efforts, yet remained optimistic about his preparation for the final round, trusting his team to ready him for day four.

Between the Fairways: Tiger Woods Opens Up After The Masters Round 3

Question: Tiger, what was the biggest challenge you were facing out there today? 

Tiger Woods: The fact that I was not hitting it very good or putting well. I didn’t have a very good warmup session, and I kept it going all day today. Just hit the ball in all the places that I know I shouldn’t hit it. 
And I missed a lot of putts. Easy, makable putts. I missed a lot of them. 

Question: Tiger on 9 it looked like that was a painful swing out of the right side there. 

Tiger Woods: Yeah. 

Question: Was there any moment that was worse than the others today that caused it to be worse for you the rest of the day? 

Tiger Woods: All day. 

Question: Was it a lack of maybe mental reps? 

Tiger Woods: I wouldn’t say necessarily mental reps. It’s just that I haven’t competed and played much. When I had chances to get it flipped around and when I made that putt at 5, I promptly three-putted 6 and flub a chip at 7 and just got it going the wrong way, and when I had opportunities to flip it, I didn’t. 

Question: How much did yesterday wear you out physically? 

Tiger Woods: Oh, yeah, it did. 

Question: How about being ready for tomorrow? 

Tiger Woods: My team will get me ready. Club has have been awesome. It will be a long night and a long warmup session, but we’ll be ready.

Jon Rahm faced a demanding third round this saturday at The Masters Tournament 2024. Despite a steady start with pars on the first six holes he experienced increasing difficulties, dimming hopes of defending his title.

Steady start for John Rahm in third round at the Masters Tournament 2024

The round began promising for Rahm, who completed the first six holes at consistent par. However, with the seventh hole, the challenges began and he recorded a bogey on a par-4. Rahm concluded the front nine with a 37 (+1), marking a deterioration from par.

Recovery on the Back Nine with Challenges

On the back nine, Rahm managed to score the opposite scorecard and play pars until the 16th hole. A glimmer of hope was a birdie on the seventeenth hole, followed by a concluding par on the eighteenth. These led to a score of 35 (-1) for the back nine, helping him to finish the day with an overall score of 72 (E).

Jon Rahm on Challenging Conditions and Missed Opportunities

Playing conditions were a central topic in the interview with Jon Rahm. ” There is still a couple spots where if it gusted still some heavy winds. Obviously a little bit easier, but the golf course is quite firm and fast also, so that’s always going to make things a little more interesting.,” Rahm describes the challenges of the course. When asked about his progress of the week, he commented on his performance of the second round on friday. “Yesterday was terrible. Today I kept in in play off the tee, which is going to do a lot.”

“Gave myself plenty of chances; just didn’t make them,” he shared in frustration, but commented on a few highlights of the day. “Luckily made the one on 17 to have the only birdie of the day, and the one par putt on 6. Besides that, it was just seeing a couple fall in. I had a few really good chances on 3, 4, and 5. 8. Couple others. 12, 13, 14, just — 15, none of them wanted to go in.”

Rahm also expressed his thoughts about his progress during the last couple of rounds of the Masters Tournament 2024: “Well, it’s — those first two days I think I said it yesterday, it’s just too hard of conditions to not have your swing. Being a little lost and not being under control of what was going on makes it so much harder.”
