He entered the week as the pre-tournament favorite at +500 and played solid all week before pulling away in the final round with a 4-under 68. He had entered the day with a one-shot lead. Ludvig Aberg was the runner-up in his Masters debut. TRENDS OF THE WEEKBefore the first round, Scheffler was pulling in the most money (19.6%) to win outright and was on the most tickets (14.2%).
