Can you believe it? Bryson stuns with Masters magic
Scottie Scheffler made one last birdie and let out one big exhale on a wild day of charges and collapses at The Masters, giving him a 1-under 71 and a one-shot lead over two-time major champion Collin Morikawa.
Scheffler began by chipping in for birdie from across the first green. He finished with an 8-foot birdie putt that caught just enough of the right side of the cup.
Everything in between was bonkers, right to the very end. Bryson DeChambeau drove into the right trees on the 18th, pitched out to the fairway and then holed out from 77 yards for a most unlikely birdie that might have salvaged his chances.
The shot brought a raucous reaction from the crowd as DeChambeau put his hands in the air to celebrate the moment.
“Can you believe it?,” commentator Jim Nantz said on Nine’s coverage.
Six players had at least a tie for the lead at one point.
There was a five-way tie for the lead on back nine. Morikawa looked to break out of the tie when he had a long eagle putt on the par-5 13th. He three-putted for par, and then the other four players all made bogey.
Max Homa has gone 32 holes without a birdie and he was only two behind. Xander Schauffele has gone 25 holes without a bogey, and that goes a long way. He was five back.
