Scottie Scheffler secures four-stroke Memorial Tournament victory
- Scottie Scheffler has successfully defended his Memorial Tournament title at Muirfield Village, emulating Tiger Woods, who achieved this feat between 1999 and 2001.
- Scheffler secured a four-stroke victory over Ben Griffin, marking his third win in four starts, following victories at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson and PGA Championship.
- Scheffler's final round included birdies at the seventh, 11th, and 15th holes, leading to a two-under-par 70, with his only bogey occurring at the 10th.
- Ben Griffin finished second, followed by Sepp Straka in third and Nick Taylor in fourth, while Tommy Fleetwood tied for 16th and Robert MacIntyre tied for 20th.
- Rickie Fowler secured a spot for The Open at Royal Portrush in July after finishing in a tie for seventh, earning the exemption due to his higher world ranking compared to Brandt Snedeker.
