Scottie Scheffler Aims For Historic Third Green Jacket At Augusta
4 days agoScottie Scheffler appears to have officially shaken off any rust, finishing T2 at the Texas Children's Houston Open after gaining strokes across all aspects of his game. This couldn't have come at a better time for Scheffler, who looks to carry this momentum into The Masters, where few players in the history of golf have been as dominant. Scheffler has finished in the top 20 in all five of his starts at Augusta, including victories in 2022 and 2024. In these wins, he gained a combined 31.54 strokes from tee to green, an area he continues to excel in. Scheffler currently ranks third on tour in strokes gained from tee to green, gaining 1.681 strokes per round. Additionally, he ranks in the 98th percentile in proximity from 150–200 yards over the past 12 months, a critical range that accounted for 37.8% of approach shots at Augusta last year. Even at his $12,400 price tag on DraftKings, fantasy managers should confidently lean on Scheffler as he chases his third green jacket in four years— a feat not accomplished since Jack Nicklaus in 1963-1966.
