Jon Rahm did not have a very fun time at this past week’s Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club. And it wasn’t just because he barely made the cut and struggled his way to a T-45 finish.
Scheffler shot 33 on the inward nine and produced six birdies in the last 11 holes, none of those requiring a putt of longer than 10 feet. That’s how dialled in he was.
