Scottie Scheffler Wins 2019 Masters Tournament
Scottie Scheffler has claimed victory at the 2019 Masters Tournament, held at the iconic Augusta National Golf Club. The 22-year-old American golfer carded a final round of 64 (-8) to finish with a tournament total of 268 (-10), two strokes ahead of Dustin Johnson and Cameron Smith.
