Scheffler holds on for a three-shot win, while McIlroy’s spectacular 64 boosts him to runner-up.

Scottie Scheffler secured his first major victory at the 2022 Masters, holding off a late charge by Rory McIlroy to win by three shots. McIlroy delivered a stunning final-round 64, posting a score of -7, but it wasn’t enough to dethrone Scheffler, who maintained his composure throughout the final holes. Cameron Smith, once in contention, saw his hopes dashed after a costly mistake on the 12th hole.

The victory marks a significant milestone in Scheffler’s career, while McIlroy’s valiant surge leaves him with a bittersweet second-place finish. As the 2022 Masters wraps up, attention shifts to the upcoming golf season, with Tiger Woods confirming his participation in The Open Championship.
