What has been evident since the weekend cut was made final on Sunday: Scottie Scheffler, who held leads after 36 and 54 holes of play at the Masters, finished the job with his first title at Augusta. Show The world's No. 1-ranked golfer finished the tournament with a 10-under par 278, with second-place Rory McIlroy finishing at 7 under after carding an incredible 8-under 64 in the final round (tied for a Masters record). Early in the round, it appeared Scheffler could face a challenge from Cameron Smith, his closest competition entering Round 4; the latter started his round with two birdies, allowing him to get to within two strokes of the eventual Masters champion. But Scheffler didn't let Smith or a roaring McIlroy rattle him, sinking four birdies (including two on 15 and 16) and 12 pars to keep them at bay. "I did see at one point that Rory had posted 7 under, I believe. And then Cam and I were getting a little tight after he birdied at 11; I made a huge par putt there," Scheffler said in his post-match interview. "And then after that, he made a mistake on 12, and I had a nice up-and-down. And after that, just played some good golf." Smith ultimately took himself out of play, carding two bogeys on Holes 3 and 4; he never got to within two strokes again. He also had a bogey on 10 and a disastrous triple bogey on Hole 12 to end any hope (he ultimately finished tied for third with a score of 5 under). Even a surprising double bogey by Scheffler on the final hole (with the tournament already all but won) couldn't spoil the 25-year-old's first career Masters victory. Said Scheffler of his "hiccup": "I’m really at a loss for words right now. I’m kind of glad I had a little hiccup there on the last hole," Scheffler said. "It made me a little less emotional so I could get through this interview."

Masters live updates, highlights from Sunday's Round 4(All times Eastern) 6:58 p.m.: Third time's the charm for Scheffler, who centers it and finishes the tournament with a score of 10-under par. It got surprisingly hairy at the end but was ever really in doubt.
6:58 p.m.: Scheffler somehow missed his second attempt. That's a double bogey on the last hole, at least. 6:57 p.m.: Oh, my. Scheffler will bogey on the last hole after missing a 3-foot par attempt. 6:56 m.: Smith gets some applause after getting the tap-in par to end the tournament at 5 under. One last stroke (maybe two) for Scheffler. 6:52 p.m.: Scheffler's receiving a standing ovation as he makes his final walk to the 18th green. As he has all week, he looks completely unflappable. 6:49 p.m.: Scheffler's drive off 18 hits the pine boughs but still lands just off the fairway, in the fringe. 6:45 p.m.: Scheffler and Smith have only one more hole apiece. Everything from here on out is mere ceremony. 6:29 p.m.: Smith birdies on 16 to get to 5 under, but it's a moot point now. It would take a tremendous breakdown from Scheffler (12 under) to lose this with just three holes remaining. 6:21 p.m.: Scheffler and Scott each birdie on 15, giving the former (12 under) a five-stroke lead over McIlroy (7 under).
6:04 p.m.: Scheffler birdies on Hole 14, which gives him four strokes over McIlroy in second place. That may be the cushion he needs to ride this out.
5:56 p.m.: McIlroy: Hits an incredible shot to end his day at the Masters.
5:48 p.m.: McIlroy might not win this but he may have just had the most exciting finish to the Masters this year. His approach on Hole 18 landed in the bunker; his second shot hit the other bunker. His third? One of the most incredible birdies from Augusta this year. It gives him a score of 8-under 64, tying him for the lowest round in Masters history.
5:33 p.m.: Triple bogey for Smith. That drops him to 4 under for the tournament and pretty much takes him out of contention for the championship. 5:28 p.m.: From bad to worse for Smith, whose ensuing approach goes behind the green into the fringe. 5:26 p.m.: Devastating for Smith; he drops his ball in the drink on the par-3 12th. 5:22 p.m.: A little intrigue in the back nine. Smith birdies on Hole 11, while Scheffler gets par. The Aussie has seven holes to get three strokes on Scheffler. 4:56 p.m.: Scheffler and Smith couldn't have had more different drives off Hole 10. Scheffler's was perfectly curved onto the fairway, while Smith's ended up somewhere deep in the bush. Still a tad early to call, but that could have big ramifications moving forward. 4:44 p.m.: An eagle for McIlroy! He's now five off the lead and one shot behind second-place Smith. At the rate he's playing he could very well challenge for this. He has five holes left to make a move.
4:38 p.m.: Shane Lowry sinks a birdie on Hole 9 to move into a three-way tie for fourth at 3 under — all the more impressive considering he had a triple bogey on Hole 4. 4:19 p.m.: Smith and Scheffler trade birdies on Hole 7, keeping the latter's stroke lead at four.
4:08 p.m.: Smith sinks a very important par attempt to remain four strokes behind Scheffler. That wasn't a given from several feet out. 3:59 p.m.: McIlroy with another birdie, on Hole 10, to give him sole possession of third place at 4 under for the tournament. He's now 5 under for the day.
3:58 p.m.: And now Thomas is making himself seen.
3:47 p.m.: There's Collin Morikawa with his third straight birdie to finish the back nine as well. He's 1 under for the tournament. 3:43 p.m.: Smith hits the bunker on the par-3 third hole, but wedges out to give him a very makeable par attempt. He proceeds to hit his second bogey in a row after just missing right. Scheffler's lead is back to four. 3:39 p.m.: Do we need to keep an eye on McIlroy? He's 3 under and 4 under for the round, better than anyone else on the course today.
3:37 p.m.: Bad luck for Smith, whose own chip-in on Hole 3 rolls well past the mark. He loses a stroke and is now three behind Scheffler. 3:36 p.m.: Meanwhile, Dustin Johnson sinks his third straight birdie to finish the back nine and go 1 under for the tournament. 3:30 p.m.: And Scheffler gets one right back with an incredible chip-in birdie that holed the pin. Incredible shot that puts his lead back to two strokes over Smith.
3:16 p.m.: Actually, there's Smith's second birdie in two holes. He's only one back of the leader with a lot of golf left to play.
3:15 p.m.: Scottie Scheffler gets par on his first two holes to maintain his two-stroke lead over Cameron Smith. 3:14 p.m.: Tony Finau eagles on Hole 13 to get back to 6 over for the tournament.
3 p.m.: A disappointing end to the Masters, but the fact Tiger could play at all is a testament to his greatness and drive.
2:57 p.m.: Cameron Smith draws within two. ...
2:55 p.m.: What a debut from Min Woo Lee.
2:43 p.m.: Great work early from Rory McIlroy, who has two birdies in three holes.
2:07 p.m.: Tiger gets a bogey on 14, but it comes from 18 feet out. That's about the only way you'll see Tiger smile on a bogey, which he does. 1:57 p.m.: Soooooo close for Harry Higgs on Hole 2.
1:33 p.m.: Tiger gets pars on 11 and 12, both to raucous applause. 1:15 p.m.: Terrell Hatton nearly hit an Eagle on Hole 15 after double-bogeying on 14. But the ball rolls too far back and he'll have a 12-footer for birdie, looks like. 1:07 p.m.: Another birdie for Rahm on 10, making up for a bogey on 9. 12:46 p.m.: Quality content.
12:39 p.m.: A par for Tiger on the par-5 eighth. Rahm follows up with his third birdie and second in two holes to go to 5 over. 12:22 p.m.: Rahm breaks a four-par streak for his second birdie of the day to go to 6 over for the tournament on Hole 7. 12:15 p.m.: A third straight bogey for Tiger. Not much else going on in the way of highlights. 12:02 p.m.: Another bogey for Tiger on Hole 5; his most in a single round at the Masters Tournament. 11:46 a.m.: Woods is back to 7 over for the tournament after bogeying on Hole 4; his third of the tournament. 11:36 a.m.: Meanwhile, Tiger's partner for the day, Jon Rahm, barely sinks a birdie on the same hole to go to 7 over for the tournament. 11:34 a.m.: Tiger misses the birdie but avoids the bogey after following a day with four 3-putts and a 4-putt. 11:28 a.m.: Meanwhile, Tiger's chip onto the green on Hole 3 goes way past its mark. He has a long birdie attempt downhill, looks like from 20 feet out. 11:27 a.m.: Billy Horschel is devastated on Hole 6, where his approach shot is short of the green: "No! No! No way, that's short. Ugh." 11:13 a.m.: And Tiger makes good on the drive with a birdie on Hole 2. Onto the next one. 11:07 a.m.: Tiger Woods with a booming tee shot off the par-5 second:
