Scottie Scheffler reflects on key Mastres moments ahead of 2025 event

Scottie Scheffler highlighted a specific iron shot from the final round of his 2022 victory during a pre-tournament press conference.

"I got asked this question a while ago, and I didn't really have a good answer. I think when you look at the two Masters that I've won, on Sunday I had the chip-in on 3 in 2022. But really what I felt like was the most important shot to me was the iron shot I hit into 5 that day," he said.

"Very few times throughout a tournament do you hit a shot exactly how you want to. It was one of those shots that I flushed it, I hit it exactly the way I was intending to and felt exactly what I needed to, and it gave me a ton of confidence going throughout the rest of the day. So, I mean, both of those I'd say were very pivotal shots."

In 2024, Scheffler secured a four-stroke victory over Ludvig Aberg. The 2025 Masters features a field of 96 elite golfers, including Rory McIlroy, who is aiming to complete his career grand slam, and Jon Rahm, the 2023 Masters winner. Other notable golfers are Bryson DeChambeau, Ludvig Aberg, and Xander Schauffele.

Additionally, if Scheffler wins this year's title, he will join the elite group of golfers, Jack Nicklaus, Nick Faldo, and Tiger Woods, who have secured back-to-back victories at Masters.
