Scheffler had his highest final round in nearly two years at 2-over 74, and it was just enough to hold off Collin Morikawa and win for the fifth time this year.
Scottie Scheffler poses for a photo with the trophy after winning the Memorial golf tournament, Sunday, June 9, 2024, in Dublin, Ohio. On a Muirfield Village course so demanding only six players broke par, , never lost the lead. He never felt safe, either, particularly on a back nine where saving par felt like hard work.That’s what it took on the 18th hole. He was leading Morikawa by one shot and both hit approach shots that bounced hard and high off the green and into the rough.
He also became the first player since Tom Watson in 1980 to have won five times on the PGA Tour before the U.S. Open.That’s next week at Pinehurst No. 2, and Scheffler will go to the U.S. Open as a huge favorite. This was his 11th consecutive tournament with a top 10. Hadwin was within one shot of the lead until finishing the front nine with a pair of bogeys. He stayed in the hunt until closing with a pair of bogeys for a 74. Still, his third-place finish moves him ahead of Corey Conners for the second Canadian spot in the Olympics.Scheffler had only one birdie — a 10-foot putt on the sixth hole — and he missed two birdie chances inside 10 feet on the back nine that could have provided a cushion.
