Scottie Scheffler leads 2024 Masters going into final round

The final pairing of the final round of the 2024 Masters is off the first tee. Leader Scottie Scheffler and Colin Morikawa each hit picturesque opening drives Sunday afternoon. If he wins, Scheffler will have won the Masters in two of the last three years. If Morikawa were to claim his first green jacket, it would be his third major championship and would leave him a U. S. Open Title away from achieving the career Grand Slam. Cam Smith has closed to within five shots of Scheffler. He is -2 for the day and -3 overall through three holes. Further down the leaderboard, Tom Kim carded a final round 66 to finish at +5 for the tournament. Masters Debutant Ludvig Aberg birdied the second with a smooth 22-foot putt. Sitting at +600 on the live odds board, Aberg aims to become the first debutant to win the Masters since Fuzzy Zoeller in 1979. Shortly after Aberg and Max Homa birdied the second, Scheffler (+100) saved par on number two, maintaining his one-stroke lead over Morikawa and Homa. Xander Schauffele (+2500), now 1-under on his round, is another contender just four back of Scheffler. Scheffler (now -140 odds to win) birdies No. 3 and leads Morikawa (+400) and Homa (+500) by two shots. Ludvig Aberg (+700) has played well tee to green thus far in the final round but has missed a few putts and sits at -5 overall. Tommy Fleetwood (+4000) is 2-under par for the day through seven holes to join the party. He is now 3-under along with Bryson DeChambeau (+4000) who has birdied Holes 4 and 5 after bogeying two of the first three holes. Morikawa gets up and down at the No. 4 to save par, while Scheffler (-105) fails to convert the par save. Now just one back from the World No. 1, Morikawa is +400 to win the Masters. Phil Mickelson finishes this year’s tournament with a 2-over-74 round and 8-over on the round, earning him the “Top Senior” honors. Scheffler (-110) misses a shortish birdie putt on No. 5 but remains the leader by one shot over Homa (+400) and Morikawa (+330). Fleetwood (+8000) is trying to make a Sunday charge. He is 2-under for the day and 3-under for the Tournament through 8. Tyrrell Hatton (+150000) is five under through 14 and is 2-under for the Tournament. Defending Masters Champion Jon Rahm (+750 per tournament odds) concludes his trip at Augusta. The LIV superstar failed to get anything going this week and finished outside the top 40. Shortly after the conclusion of Rahm’s round, Scheffler left his long birdie bid on No. 6 short. He remains one stroke ahead of Morikawa (+400) and Homa (+500). But Aberg (+400) just stuck his approach on seven; he’s inching closer toward history. Tree trouble for Scheffler on Hole No. 7 results in another missed green for the 2022 champion and ultimately, a bogey. Scheffler (+115) is now tied with Morikawa (+360) and Aberg (+230). Morikawa has put himself consistently in position to score this afternoon, but has been unable to cash in on a handful of birdie putts.
