Scottie Scheffler captured the 2024 Masters crown Sunday at Augusta National, marking his second title in the tournament and his second career major championship.

The world No. 1 had started the day in the lead, but found himself in a four-way tie with Max Homa, Collin Morikawa and Ludvig Åberg before regaining sole possession of the lead after nearly shooting for eagle on the par-4 ninth hole.

Scheffler revealed before Sunday’s final round that he and his wife, Meredith, had a plan in place in case she had gone into labor since there had been the chance that she could have gone into labor before he teed off.
