Scottie Scheffler finished one shot behind Rory McIlroy at the Masters at Augusta National Golf Club on Sunday, with the world No 1 later suggesting the course set‑up over the first two rounds had damaged his chances of overhauling the Northern Irishman.
Speaking after the final round, Scheffler said he was not responsible for how the course was prepared, but made clear that the changing firmness of the greens had, in his view, affected the shape of the tournament.
