Scheffler got off to a scorching start to his Saturday at the Masters, putting him right in the mix of players chasing Rory McIlroy at the top. While McIlroy had a six-shot lead after Friday's action, that was only halfway through the tournament, giving other players chances to chase him.
It wouldn't be a surprise to see Scheffler be the one to chase down McIlroy considering his dominance over the past few years. Here's a look at how Scheffler got back into the Masters on Saturday.

How far back did Scottie Scheffler start the weekend?
Scheffler began Saturday 12-shots back of Rory McIlroy, who led the tournament at -12 after 36 holes. Scheffler was even par through Friday, which included shooting a two-over 74 on Friday morning.
If Scheffler were to come back and win, it would be a Masters record, as the previous record for biggest comeback is eight shots.
No one in the 92-year history of The Masters has come back from more than 8 shots to win.
