Scottie Scheffler rolls to victory at Memorial for third win of 2025

OHIO – Scottie Scheffler showed once again that he is ready to conquer whatever challenge he is faced with on the PGA Tour.

The world’s No. 1 golfer had another smooth round and won for the third time in his last four tournaments, successfully defending his title at the Memorial Tournament with a two-under 70 in the final round at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio, on June 1.

“This is a golf course that is definitely going to expose your weaknesses. Did some really good battling today... Put up another really good round on this very difficult golf course,” Scheffler said.

At 10-under 278 for the tournament, Scheffler secured a four-shot victory over Ben Griffin – the only other golfer to win a PGA Tour event that Scheffler started in May. Scheffler had not won in 2025 until capturing the CJ Cup Byron Nelson, which is considered his hometown event in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, and followed that with claiming the PGA Championship. He won seven times in 2024.

Scheffler and Tiger Woods are the only back-to-back winners of the Memorial Tournament. It is a tournament hosted by legendary Jack Nicklaus, who greeted the current champion as he walked off the green. Scheffler said: “It’s pretty cool. It’s always a hard week. It’s so challenging to play this tournament.”

Much like on May 31, Scheffler was content with pars as he played the front nine in one under with eight pars.

Griffin (73 on June 1) led for large chunks of the first three days, but lost a share of the top spot with a bogey on the final hole on May 31. He began June 1 with another bogey, and he was two over for the day through 13 holes.
