Scottie Scheffler criticized the course conditions at the Masters tournament following his close finish behind Rory McIlroy, who successfully defended his title. Despite trailing McIlroy by 12 shots initially, Scheffler staged a comeback with impressive rounds over the weekend. However, a setback in the second round hindered his chances of catching the eventual winner, McIlroy, who secured his sixth major title.
Scheffler expressed disappointment with the course setup, particularly noting the shift in conditions between Thursday and Friday. He mentioned that the softened course on Friday afternoon played a role in impacting the competition. Despite acknowledging the unpredictability of outdoor sports and changing conditions, Scheffler felt that the altered greens on Friday affected his performance adversely, hindering his opportunity to secure a third Masters title.
