He didn’t win it — but I’m still good with my first golf prediction! Better than most of my NFL picks!

Want to know how to properly pronounce the name of golf’s future star in Ludvig Aberg? I asked him. Listen here:

No, Tiger Woods isn’t contending on this Sunday at #themasters . But the leaderboard is nonetheless stacked with a cast of characters that has a little something for everyone.

Introducing you to today’s leaderboard in this SportsCenter essay:

What a story! Scheffler could be on his way to winning his second green jacket , but he’s also waiting for the life changing call that his first baby is on the way. #themasters

Scottie Scheffler maintains he will leave Augusta today if his wife, Meredith, goes into labor before his final round concludes — even as he holds a lead at #themasters .

It is a very different set of questions than he faced two years ago. The latest on his current situation:

By the day’s end, a new Masters champion will be presented with the Green Jacket, the game’s most important piece of fabric.

Here is its story, including some of the rules required of its winner, on this beautiful Augusta Sunday morning:

Tiger Woods remains on the prowl heading into the weekend. The latest from Augusta National in our essay as Saturday’s round at The Masters is set to begin:

Latest from Augusta, where Scottie Scheffler made 15 of 16 putts inside of 5 feet Thursday. That’s one year after he was last in the Masters on putts per round.

Scheffler explained to me an equipment change that might be leading to more success. On SportsCenter with Matt Barrie:

Please join Laura Rutledge, Jeff Darlington and me on Welcome To The Masters, live 1-3p ET on ESPN.
I'll ride down Magnolia w/ Lee Hodges, chat w/ Rory, take you inside the intricate choreography of the 7th Scoreboard, and walk the course to show you the best seat in the house!

Solid stat to support Scottie Scheffler heading into Friday at The Masters: Thursday’s 66 for him was tied for the 6th instance of a world No. 1 carding a 66 or better in an opening round of a major since 2000.

Each of the previous five won the tournament, per ESPN Stats & Info.

Tomorrow’s TV schedule…

It’s a classic three-button sport coat in one iconic color. And yet it’s so much more than that. It is the game’s most important piece of fabric.

Our feature on the Green Jacket of Augusta National Golf Club:

With three birdies on the first three holes, Bryson DeChambeau’s hot start won’t be a surprise to him. He told me this is the first time he’s come to Augusta with what he feels like is the closest to his “a-game.” Our report:

Programming Update: Due to a weather delay, first tee shots have moved to 10:30a ET
