Augusta, VE. – Scottie Scheffler, like Rory Mcilroy, has been chasing the story this week.
He is trying to join Jack Nicklaus as the only players in the history of Masters to win the tournament in three of four years and the first to defend the title from Tiger Woods in 2002.
But the defender champion, who is 5 under a par, will have a high hill to climb in the final round of Sunday in Augusta National, entering the seven shots behind Mcilroy, who is 12 years old.
Scheffler, who seven times last season and has not yet won this year, has not looked like himself this week.
“Sometimes I felt good, sometimes I felt bad,” he said. Today and yesterday were days when I could have shot myself from the tournament, [but] I fought very hard for two days.
“Entering tomorrow, have a good front nine and begin to climb the classification table and you never know what can happen in the nineteenth nine. I cannot control what the other is doing. I will pay attention, ULSE so that Chaange does not go to Chalange does not go to Chalange, he does not change again.”
The frustrations of Jon Rahm’s teachers continued on Saturday. He made the cut in the number in 2-ponder on Friday.
And then, on Saturday, just when it seemed that it could be put in a streak, taking it to the 4 end for the day with two holes to play, two shots cool in 17 and 18 to finish with a 70.
“As easy as [birdies] They come, you can be a bit unfortunate and start fighting a little, “Rahm said.” I made a good amount of puts for today to publish that under the pair. There are still many fogs to clean. “
When asked what awaits for Sunday, he said: “See if I can leave and shoot a child 6 years or less and wait for the best.”
Rahm, who won the Masters in 2023, joined Liv Golf and finished 76th last year.
Zach Johnson, who was paired with Rahm on Saturday, praised Rahm’s shape.
“His score was not indicative of how he played real, in my opinion,” said Johnson, who triggered a third round impression and is in 4 below. “That guy is very close. It is still very, very impressive and a tremendous guy.”
