Scheffler took issue with the conditions at Augusta National Golf Course and expressed as much after wrapping up the fourth round of the tournament on Sunday evening, telling reporters he wasn't "in charge of the course setup."

"So who knows, it's just that's part of the game. We play an outdoor sport, and you don't know how conditions are gonna change - especially course conditions. Overall, like I said, just Friday for me, going out early, not being able to shoot an under-par round, that definitely hurt my chances. I think I started the weekend maybe 12 back, so to get within one was a pretty good run."

Scheffler said his second round "probably hurt" his chances of winning the tournament the most. He shot a 74 that day with four bogeys before storming back into contention.

Scheffler made 12 birdies and two eagles in the tournament. But he also settled for five bogeys over the four rounds.

He was 11-under par for the tournament.
