Scottie Scheffler Makes Memorial History Not Seen Since Prime Tiger Woods
@Source: newsweek.com
For anyone that was questioning whether Scottie Scheffler had regained his form after hand surgery, that question has been answered emphatically.Scheffler won the 50th edition of The Memorial Tournament, running away from the field once again. The World No. 1 signed for a 2-under 70 at Muirfield Village on Sunday, finishing at 10-under overall.In doing so, he defended his crown at The Memorial. Only Tiger Woods had ever done that previously, winning three years in a row from 1999 through 2001.He finished four shots clear of Ben Griffin, who has also been playing incredible golf.It is his third victory of the 2025 PGA Tour season. Scheffler won the CJ Cup Byron Nelson by a historic margin. He followed that up with a commanding five-shot victory at Quail Hollow for his first PGA Championship and third major title of his career.Entering the final round on Sunday, Scheffler held a one-shot lead over Griffin. There were several other top PGA Tour stars also within striking distance.But the golf course lived up to expectation, which is to say difficult. Muirfield Village is known as one of the most difficult courses the PGA Tour visits each year. Only 11 players even finished under par this week, with only two within five shots of Scheffler when the dust settled.The PGA Tour heads north of the border next week for the RBC Canadian Open. Scheffler will not be in the field. However, World No. 2 Rory McIlroy will be. McIlroy surprisingly did not play the Memorial this week, surprising many including Jack Nicklaus.The next time golf fans will witness Scottie Scheffler's greatness will be in two weeks at the U.S. Open in Oakmont.More Golf: 'Scottie's Not That Good:' Nick Taylor's Memorial Quip Turns Heads
