Scottie Scheffler wins 2024 Memorial Tournament
2 years ago - Sportingbase
Scottie Scheffler of Ridgewood, New Jersey continued his remarkable run of 2024 on Sunday. For the fifth time this year, Scheffler won a PGA Tour event. After winning the Arnold Palmer Invitational, the Players Championship, the Masters, and RBC Heritage, Scheffler won the Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio.
Scheffler posted a four round score of -8 to beat fellow American Collin Morikawa of Los Angeles, California by a stroke. Scheffler and Morikawa are multiple major champions. In addition to winning the 2024 Masters, Scheffler won the 2022 Masters. Morikawa won the 2020 PGA Championship and the 2021 British Open.
Scheffler had a first round score this past weekend of five-under-par 67. That was followed by a second round score of four-under-par 68, a third round score of one-under-par 71, and a fourth round score of two-over-par 74. In a bizarre sequence of events, Scheffler actually got worse as the weekend moved along. He is the only golfer this season to post his best score in the opening round, second best score in round two, second worst score of the weekend in round three, and worst score of the weekend in round four. Scheffler is also the first player this season to be over par in the final round and hang on to win the title.
