AUGUSTA, Ga. — Collin Morikawa climbed the hill to the ninth green here Saturday at the Masters and was met with shouts and cheers.
Two groups later, Max Homa found an even louder welcome, perhaps the loudest of anyone not named Tiger Woods here Saturday, as fans chanted his name.
In between them arrived Scottie Scheffler, merely the world’s No. 1 ranked golfer for 47 consecutive weeks, a Dallas native who hasn’t posted a score above par in 39 consecutive rounds, dating back to 2023, a seemingly humble family man who already won here in 2022.
There was muffled applause and some polite call outs.
