Scottie Scheffler reveals Augusta greens decision that changed everything in narrow Masters loss to Rory McIlroy
Scottie Scheffler finished second at the 2026 Masters after a strong comeback but said changes to the greens between rounds hurt his chances.
He struggled on Friday when conditions shifted, while others scored low later.
Despite a historic bogey-free weekend, one missed putt and earlier setbacks left him one shot short of Rory McIlroy.
