On Sunday, June 9, Scheffler entered the final day of the Memorial Tournament with a four-stroke lead. However, he played one of the worst rounds in recent times,
shooting 2-over 74 with three bogeys and just a lone birdie. Despite this dip in his performance, he was able to hold his lead and beat Collin Morikawa by one stroke.
Before Scottie Scheffler, only Tiger Woods had claimed wins at Augusta National, TPC Sawgrass, and Muirfield Village in a single season, achieving this feat in 2001.
Morikawa briefly put up a challenge for the World No. 1 golfer with four birdies, but three bogeys, including one on the sixteenth, left him one stroke short of a playoff finish.
Adam Hadwin had a hot start in the final round at Muirfield Village, sinking three birdies in the first seven holes.
However, things went downhill for him from there, as he couldn’t add another birdie for the rest of the day.
Further, he bogeyed five holes, including three straight on the final three holes, and thus had to settle for third place at four strokes back.
