Scottie Scheffler closed out his second Masters victory on Sunday in dominant style.
With just a one-stroke advantage on the first tee that was quickly wiped out, the World No.1 had to show all of his quality and consistency to rise above his rivals - going on to win by four from Ludvig Aberg after a vintage back-nine display.
The success not only earned him another Green Jacket and the iconic Masters trophy, but also a check for $3.6 million.
In his post-tournament press conference, Scheffler paid tribute to his faith and to his family as his wife Meredith prepares to welcome the couple's first child.
Meanwhile, on social media, thousands of people congratulated the 27-year-old on his third win in his past four starts - following success at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, The Players Championship, and now, The Masters.
The Masters' official X account kicked off the toasting session with a video of the moment Scheffler sank the winning putt and his immediate emotion. The PGA Tour's account later did similar.

Two-time Masters champion Bubba Watson passed on his praise for Scheffler and caddie Ted Scott's performance while admitting his own week, which saw the 2012 and 2014 winner at Augusta miss the cut at 10-over, was disappointing.

Gary Player - one of Augusta National's honorary starters - was another to say 'well done' to the 2024 Masters champion.

Golf journalist Dan Rapaport was one of several people to lay down a catalogue of superlatives when trying to sum up Scheffler's latest achievement.
Running out of superlatives for Scottie Scheffler. The way he bounced back from the bogey on 7. Just absolutely sucked the life out of this tournament. Held steady while everyone else made crucial mistakes. Get the sense if this Masters was 90 holes he might win by 10. A horse.April 14, 2024
It was never really in doubt! Scottie is the king!! 🏆#themastersApril 14, 2024

Then there was the inevitable money angle, with reporter Jason Sobel trying to put Scheffler's recent hat-trick of victories into financial context.
