After 54 holes at the Memorial, it’s two of the hottest players battling in the final pairing at Muirfield Village. One of them, of course, is World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler. The other… Ben Griffin?
Make no mistake, nobody in pro golf is playing better than those two have over the past month. Griffin won the Zurich Classic at the end of April, top-10’d at the PGA Championship, and won last week’s Charles Schwab Challenge. Scheffler won back-to-back starts in May, taking the CJ Cup Byron Nelson and the PGA.
Scheffler opened Sunday eight under and with a one-stroke lead over Griffin. When they reached the turn on Sunday, it was still those two out in front, with Scheffler at nine under and Griffin at seven. The next closest competitors at that point were Nick Taylor at six under and Patrick Cantlay and Sepp Straka, both at five under.
Scottie Scheffler shot a four-under 68 on Saturday to take a one-stroke lead at the Memorial.
In the end, it was Scheffler defending his title and taking home a mega first-place check on Sunday night, as this Signature Event boasts a $20 million purse with $4 million going to the winner. Although second-place money isn’t exactly crumbs. Griffin, the runner-up, gets $2.2 million.
