Scheffler the superstar: How long will his winning streak last?

The world's top-ranked golfer woke up Sunday morning in his Augusta, Georgia, rental home crying tears of despair.

It was the final day of the Masters and, despite having a three-shot lead and riding the hottest streak that the PGA Tour has seen in years, Scottie Scheffler suddenly faced a surprising crisis of confidence.

"I was so stressed out," he said. So much so that he turned to wife Meredith and told her flatly, "I don't feel like I'm ready for this kind of stuff."

Relying on their shared faith, Meredith talked him off the ledge. A big breakfast then calmed his nervous stomach.

By the time he reached the training room at Augusta National, he was back in his environment. And when Scheffler stepped onto the first tee with caddie Ted Scott, he felt at peace. The crisis had been replaced by a mission: Complete the journey to become a major champion.

"The human condition is to make things bigger than they really are," Scheffler said. "And years from now I would say people may not remember me as a champion, and that's fine. But in the moment, you think it's a lot bigger deal than it really is."

His Masters victory is his fourth PGA Tour win in his last six starts, adding to his previous wins at the WM Phoenix Open, Arnold Palmer Invitational, and the World Golf Championships-Dell Technologies Match Play. Not since Jason Day in 2015 has a TOUR pro produced four wins in a six-start stretch.

And not since 1999 has a golfer won four times in a PGA Tour season by the end of the Masters. David Duval did it back then, winning four of his first eight starts that year.

Scheffler also becomes the first FedExCup leader to win the Masters since the FedExCup was established in 2007. He extended his FedExCup lead to 1,236 points over
