Scottie Scheffler holds on to win Memorial for his 5th PGA Tour title of the year

 Scottie Scheffler holds on to win Memorial for his 5th PGA Tour title of the year.




Scottie Scheffler proved his dominance once again, this time at the Memorial Tournament. In a dramatic final round, Scheffler battled tough course conditions and held off a determined Collin Morikawa to claim his fifth PGA Tour victory of the season.

While his final round wasn't his flashiest (a two-over-par 74), it showcased his incredible resilience. Scheffler never lost sight of the lead, even as Morikawa threatened with a strong showing.


This win marks a historic moment for Scheffler. He's the first player since Tom Watson in 1980 to secure five wins before the U.S. Open, a testament to his exceptional form.

 

The victory wasn't without personal significance either. This was Scheffler's first win since becoming a father, making the occasion even sweeter.


With this championship under his belt, Scheffler heads into the U.S. Open as the clear favorite. Can he continue his remarkable season and claim his first major title? Only time will tell, but one thing's for sure: Scheffler is a force to be reckoned with.
