Scottie Scheffler, the “Relentless,” won the Memorial Tournament in Columbus, Ohio by four shots and is now in stunning form.

Ben Griffin’s challenge faded on the back nine as the American shot a two-under-par 70 to defeat the American.

Griffin eagled the 15th and birdied the 16th to move just a few strokes away from Scheffler after bogeying on the 12 and 13th.

But he double-bogeyed the 17th to put pressure on his rival, who would go on to earn his third tournament victory.

In his final round, he birdied on the seventh, eleven, and fifteenth holes, but only managed one shot when he bogied the 10th.

With his victory, Tiger Woods becomes the second player to win the Memorial in a row, winning in 1999, 2000, and 2001.

Scheffler remarked, “It’s pretty cool.” It’s always a difficult week,” she says. Playing this tournament is such a challenge. Ben kept things interesting until the end. Overall, a fantastic week.

Scheffler, who won the Charles Schwab Challenge the previous week for his first PGA Tour title, is the only other player to have won a competition in the last month. For the majority of his first three days in Ohio, he had led.

Sepp Straka, an Austrian, finished third on five under par and summed up the pressure that other players are currently facing: “He loves competition, and he doesn’t like giving up shots,” Straka said.
