Masters tournament | Five lessons to remember

Rory McILroy won the 89^e masters tournament and we will still talk about it for many years. However, in addition to the coronation of North Irish, many things happened during the final round on Sunday. Here are five elements to remember.

Justin Rose can still win

Some veterans refuse to abdicate. Zach Johnson, Jason day and Bubba Watson, three players at the top of their art at the turn of the 2010s, played high quality golf. Same thing for Justin Rose. The 44-year-old veteran is held beyond 30^e world rank for five years. Rose, however, did not say her last word. It was sublime for three rounds. Leader after the days of Thursday and Friday, the Englishman returned even stronger during the final round. He succeeded 10 Oiselets on Sunday. An almost unsuspected force of character. Here he is with two second consecutive places in major tournaments with that obtained at British omnium last summer, a tournament for which he had to qualify to play.

Corey Conners gets closer to the truth

He was impressive, the Canadian! This eighth place in the final ranking, however, comes to shade on its magnificent round disputed on Saturday. This is his fourth top 10 to his last six participations in the masters tournament. An appreciable yield, of course, but Conners flirted with first place at different times during the weekend, without taking it. Unfortunately, the veteran needs this foolproof determination to hope to win a major tournament, but he always ends up falling. A bit like Tommy Fleetwood or Tony Finau. Again, his game on the Greens sank it on Sunday, with an average of 2.00 strokes rolled per hole. Hunt the natural and he returns to the gallop …

Bryson Dechambeau shines in the shadows

We can see it very little, unless you are subscribed to your YouTube channel. Dechambeau cemented its place among the best players in the world in the weekend. The most important ambassador in the Liv Golf series finished in the top 5 Of three of the last four major tournaments he has played. Dechambeau has always had the flame in him and this desire to surpass himself. But in the past, it is as if he was thinking too much on the ground. Since he has evolved with a certain carelessness, he has found a recipe that suits him. Many people still doubt his abilities, but he has proven that he can be one of the best players on the short distance planet, especially in the sand.

Scottie Scheffler is still there

As a prelude to the tournament, we had identified Scheffler among the most serious contenders. After all, he still claims the first rank in the world and he had won two of the last three editions. Nevertheless, he had missed the first weeks of the season because of an injury to one hand and he had not recorded any victory on the PGA Tour circuit. Then, after a round of 72 on Saturday, Scheffler accused seven strokes late on the leader. The best player in the world, however, proved not only that he could shine on this ground, but that even being dropped, he could vacuum the title. Thanks to five Oiselets, he finished fourth, three strokes of the champion.

Ludvig Åberg Devientra Champion

Difficult to ask for a better start of career than that of Åberg. In his first participation in the masters tournament in 2024, he had taken second row. On Sunday, he ended up in seventh position. And it could have been much better classified, had not been a difficult passage in the sand pit at 18^e hole having earned him a triple bugy. Åberg has everything to succeed. A splendid momentum that will limit injuries, a ball trajectory that never deviates and a specific game on the Greens. However, its greatest quality seems to be never being impressed. He was brilliant despite the greatness of the moment. He was even in the lead at the end of the round. One day, he will win a major tournament.
