Scottie Scheffler confirmed his status as world number one by claiming his first major title in the 86th Masters at Augusta National. The American had the luxury of being able to four-putt the last hole and still win by three shots from a late-charging Rory McIlroy. Scheffler closed with a 71 to finish at ten-under-par ahead of the charging McIlroy who lit up the course with a final round 64.

It has been a while since GolfPunk last chatted to Mel Reid and so we were delighted to have a call with her a few weeks back.

The low scoring on the LPGA continued at the LA Open where Jessica Korda followed up her opening round seven-under 64 with a flawless second round 65.

Canadian Richard T. Lee fired a classy eight-under-par 65 to take the halfway lead in The International Series Morocco today at Royal Golf Dar Es Salam.

He was one of only five players to break 70.
