Scottie Scheffler is your 2024 Masters Champion.
He has played some sensational golf and finishes the week -11, four shots clear of second place.
With his first child on the way, too, he couldn't have asked for a better week.
It's green jacket number two for the world No.1.
He's come up a few short today, but it's been an incredible week for the rookie.
He's all smiles as he walks off the 18th green to sign his card.
Fair to say he would have earned a few new fans this week.
It's been a frankly thrilling performance from Scheffler today.
Despite a small wobble on the front nine, he's been at his imperious best.

He has been unstoppable on this back nine.
He's got one arm in the jacket right now.

There was an opportunity for a slip-up on the 16th tee with water always in play; however, Scheffler had other ideas and picked out the heart of the green to set himself up with a good look at birdie.
L. Aberg -7, M. Homa -5 (16)
After finding the bunker short left on the par-3 16th, the Swede used the sloping green to get the ball within a couple of feet for a straightforward par putt.
He remains three shots back with two holes to play.
You do sense that, barring a complete disaster, Scheffler is less than an hour away from slipping on his second green jacket.

Another kick-in birdie for Scheffler on the 14th hole.
His approach shot was sensational. He used the slope left of the hole to let the ball trickle down to within a couple of inches of the pin.
The World No.1 is putting on a ball-striking clinic at the moment.
He's going to be very hard to catch in this form.
Ludvig Aberg isn't going to go down without a fight.
He makes another sensational birdie on the 14th hole.

You sense this is going to go right down to the wire.

It's been a very messy ten minutes.
A Leaderboard update is coming up.
S. Scheffler -9, C. Morikawa -5 (10)

Another double bogey here would surely knock him out of contention.

It was a painful start to Amen Corner, but the young Swede still has plenty of golf to play.
