Scottie Scheffler Trails Leaders Entering Masters Final Round

Defending Masters champion Scottie Scheffler has faced challenges throughout the tournament, ultimately trailing leader Rory McIlroy by seven shots going into the final round. Scheffler's performance in the third round was marked by an even-par 72, leaving him needing a strong finish and help from the leaders to retain his title. Despite a promising start with a birdie, he struggled to create birdie opportunities and spent much of Saturday scrambling to save par. Golf analysts have noted that Scheffler's chances of repeating are slim, as he would likely need a personal-best round and for McIlroy to falter. The golf community remains divided, with some fans expressing hope for Scheffler's comeback while others doubt his potential to win. Scheffler, however, remains optimistic, stating he plans to practice and see what happens in the final round.
