DUBLIN, Ohio (WCMH) — The steady hands of Scottie Scheffler took a one-stroke lead and turned it into a four shot victory on Sunday at the Memorial. 

The world No. 1 golfer took advantage of some key mistakes by his final round playing partner, Ben Griffin, and added a few birdies of his own en route to a repeat title at Muirfield. 

“Only one bogey around this place is pretty good. It’s hard to say. I hit a lot of fairways. I definitely wasn’t in the rough very much. I think I hit it in the rough off of 10, but outside of that, I don’t think I was really in the rough at all,” Scheffler said. “So around this place, that’s going to be key. So I would say I drove the ball really nice today. I think that would probably be the thing I did best.”

With the win, Scheffler becomes the first golfer since Tiger Woods at the turn of the century to win consecutive Memorial tournament championships. The two are also the only golfers to win both the Memorial and a major championship in the same year in multiple seasons after Scheffler captured the PGA Championship in May. 

Scheffler was consistent at par through the first six holes before hitting his first biridie of the afternoon at the par five seventh hole. After a bogey on ten, he rebounded with a birdie on 11 before nearly earning an eagle on the 15th hole to extend his lead to five strokes. But moments later, Griffin got back into the mix with an eagle of his own on the same hole, getting back within three of Scheffler. 

Then on 16, Griffin trimmed Scheffler’s lead even further with a 27 and a half foot birdie putt, getting back within two of the lead. His momentum was lost on the following hole when Griffin found the rough on his approach shot, forcing him to double bogey on 17. 

“My putter definitely wasn’t quite a hundred percent there, kind of — most of the day. I made it exciting there at the end for a couple holes,” Griffin said. “But yeah, ultimately, I mean, it’s funny, I’d take this finish, like, a year ago, two years ago, three years ago. I’m definitely a little disappointed to not have made it a little bit closer or gotten it done.

With the 50th edition of the Memorial in the books, the PGA Tour heads up north for the RBC Canadian Open.
