Scottie Scheffler never lost the lead, never gave anyone a lot of chance in another ruthless show, ending a four-goal victory with a game below 70 Tiger Woods As the only repeat winner in the memorial.
Scheffler appears to be with a major slowdown in the early years due to a geek accident Already in the bag Another one around the corner of the U.S. Open.
"It's always been a tough week," Schffler said.
In one of the most stringent PGA Tour tests of the year, Scheffler bogeed the last 40 holes of Muirfield Village.
"Okay, you did it again," tournament host Jack Nicklaus told him to leave the green.
Ben Griffin tried to block the ball on two shots, two shots, two shots, and two games to play in both games with a 12-foot Hawk and a 25-foot birdie putt on the third 16. But Schefler did not make any mistakes. Griffin had a double bogey on the 17th.
Griffin finished 4-foot par at 18th with a 73-shot, behind second place at $2.2 million, more than he won in the Colonial last week.
Sepp Straka (70) scored another shot.
"You know Scotty might play a round of golf. This guy is relentless. He loves the game and he doesn't like to give up shooting," Straka said. "But that's one of those lessons that it can always happen, so you have to be prepared for it. I feel like I've given myself a lot of opportunities to push."
Scheffler won three championships in his last four games – the exception was Colonial, the fourth tie after winning the PGA title and extended his world No. 1 profit to a level that Woods had never seen at its peak.
Woods is a five-time champion at the Memorial and won three consecutive championships from 1999 to 2001. Since then, no one has repeated it in Muirfield Village.
Recently, his performance looks more like Nicklaus, like the way he rarely loses his position.
Rickie Fowler scored his top ten this year in due course.
He led 18th and finished seventh, winning his place in the British Open. Fowler tied with Brandt Snedeker with 287 but received a public exemption based on the higher world rankings - Fowler ranked 124th and Snedeker ranked 430th.
"This is the timeline I want," Fowler said.
Both received sponsor waivers for the memorial, a signature event on the PGA Tour.
For Scheffler, this is his fifth victory in a $20 million signature event held in the past two years. This seems inevitable, but only after the last nine developed rapidly.
Schefler hit his lead with 31 holes at Tough Muirfield Village on the 10th hole without bogey. Griffin has a 4-foot bird on 5111. Schefler missed his 15-foot birdie putt and Griffin.
Griffin bo burned the next two holes, and like that, Scheffler shot four forwards. That's what it looks like in the PGA Championship - a tense minute, a blowout in the next minute and a sweetest walk to the 18th green that wins safe.
It was a handshake with Nicklaus, who said earlier in the week of Scheftler: “He acted like me.”
Nicklaus said he was all involved in fairways and the Greens, with plenty of opportunities and giving them enough opportunities to post scores. This is also how Scheffler is, even if it doesn't always start the final round.
The mud on the golf ball on the first fairway, spin too much short iron in the next few holes, and there is no birdie putt until the fifth hole. He saved seven five shots in the final round, including the last hole.
