WATCH: Scottie Scheffler sinks clutch shot to keep lead on Cameron Smith at Masters

The action is heating up at the top of the leaderboard at the 86th Masters. Just one stroke ahead of Cameron Smith on the third hole, Masters leader Scottie Scheffler sunk a clutch shot from off of the green to move ahead by two strokes at Augusta National. The strong stroke nailed the flag before dropping into the hole, giving him his first birdie of the final round.
Scheffler started the third hole with a drive out left near the trees but put it in sight of the hole with his second shot.
To help Scheffler out, Smith, who parred on the first two holes of the final round, bogeyed on three. The former Texas Longhorn entered the day with a comfortable three-shot lead on Smith.
Scheffler is the world’s No. 1-ranked golfer, while Smith finished tied for second place at the Masters in 2020.

“I had the same questions, so it was an unbelievable feeling, just to have the patrons and support out there, I wasn’t exactly playing my best out there, but just to have the support out there and the appreciation,” Woods said.
“I don’t think words can really describe that — given where I was — a little over a year ago. And what my prospects were at that time? To end up here, and play all four rounds? Even a month ago I didn’t know if I could pull this off, so, I think it was positive. I got some work to do and am looking forward to it.”
Renner asked Woods about his internal drive and constant ability to defy the odds.
“It’s hard, it’s hard,” Woods added. “I have those days where I just don’t want to do anything, and it hurts. But as I alluded earlier, I have a great team around me that’s super positive and has helped me around. And, the days that are tough, I need that.
“The days I do good, those are easy days, but there are more tough days than easy days. I think the hard part are those recovery sessions, those do really suck. Just to have the support around me, I couldn’t have done it without them.”
