No need to route the master to an audio track. Just freeze the synth or bounce it directly to an audio track. In either case the resulting audio will still be routed to the master for playback and eventual export. I'd recommend freezing, as that's the most convenient and it's very easy to un-do if you want to make changes.
If it's important to go through the master bus, perhaps to take advantage of some processing that happens there, you can do that (even though it's neither necessary nor recommended). Just solo the synth and go to "Bounce to Track(s)". Choose "Entire Mix" as the source and a new track as the destination. Even though you selected "Entire Mix", only the synth will be included in the new track because you soloed it.
