    Apr 16 2026

    In this episode of The Draw, hosts Brian and Nathan recap the 2026 Masters, where Rory McIlroy won his second straight green jacket after a historic 36-hole lead and after holding off a late Scottie Scheffler charge to win by one for his sixth major.

    They discuss Scheffler’s missed chances (notably a putt on 17), Cameron Young’s birdie-less back nine Sunday after leading Saturday and Justin Rose’s collapse on the back nine. They also praise Collin Morikawa’s gritty Sunday surge despite a back injury to finish top 10.
