Scottie Scheffler is dominating pro golf. The Texas Longhorns golf alum, fresh off winning the PGA Championship two weeks ago, has become only the second repeat winner at the Memorial. Only Tiger Woods, who won three times in a row (1999-2001) had repeated at the tournament in Dublin, Ohio is hosted by golf legend Jack Nicklaus.
Scheffler surged to the lead at Muirfield Village on Saturday and held on with his trademark machine-like efficiency on Sunday. After celebrating the win on the 18th green, Scheffler was embraced by Nicklaus, sitting greenside. Nicklaus exclaimed, “Well, you did it again.”
The Dallas native was the only player to break par all four days. He now has three wins on tour this year, which includes his third major championship at Quail Hollow. His season started slow after cutting his hand over the holidays severe enough that it needed surgery.
The former “ESPN GameDay” guest picker will play next in two weeks in the U.S. Open at Oakmont.
