Scottie Scheffler finds himself in familiar territory, leading heading into the final round of the Masters, reminiscent of his previous experience in 2022. Back then, Scheffler, despite being the top-ranked golfer, struggled with the pressure and even shed tears with his wife, Meredith. However, he managed to overcome his doubts and clinched his first major championship.

Now, Scheffler is facing another final round lead, but without Meredith by his side as she awaits the arrival of their first child. Despite this, Scheffler has matured both on and off the course, acknowledging that his focus has shifted towards impending fatherhood rather than solely winning the Masters.

During Saturday's third round, Scheffler encountered some setbacks, including a double-bogey on the 10th hole. However, he demonstrated resilience with an eagle on the 13th and crucial birdies down the stretch to maintain his solo lead.

Chasing Scheffler are formidable opponents such as Collin Morikawa, Max Homa, Ludvig Åberg, and Bryson DeChambeau. While Morikawa is eyeing his third major championship, Homa seeks his first, but both face challenges in closing the gap on Scheffler.

Despite Scheffler's lead, the final round promises intense competition and unpredictable twists, with contenders eager to seize the opportunity for victory.
