Scottie Scheffler, the world's No. 1 golfer, finished second in the Masters after playing two bogey-free rounds to nearly erase a 12-shot deficit. However, he expressed dissatisfaction with the conditions at Augusta National, stating that he was not in charge of course setup. He also expressed surprise at the softness of the greens on Friday, which he felt was a significant factor in his chances of winning. Despite a strong 4-under round Sunday, he was unable to secure a third green jacket.
