Scheffler Pulls Away at Muirfield Village—But What Surprised Everyone on the Back Nine?

Scheffler Pulls Away at Muirfield Village—But What Surprised Everyone on the Back Nine?

Scottie Scheffler delivered another commanding performance at the 2025 Memorial Tournament, capturing his second consecutive title at Muirfield Village Golf Club. Scheffler finished at under par, four strokes clear of runner-up Ben Griffin, who held off a late charge from Sepp Straka and Nick Taylor to secure solo second.

Scheffler’s win was never truly in doubt after he built a four-shot lead heading into the final round. He closed with a steady 70, extending his remarkable streak of converting 54-hole leads into victories—he’s now 9-for-9 in such situations on the PGA Tour Griffin, coming off a win at the Charles Schwab Challenge the previous week, made an eagle on the back nine to momentarily cut into Scheffler’s lead, but could not sustain the momentum down the stretch.

Tiger Woods, though not in contention this week, was a notable presence at Muirfield Village, where he remains a five-time Memorial champion and a frequent source of inspiration for the field.

With this win, Scheffler further cements his position atop the FedEx Cup standings and continues to distance himself as the dominant force in men’s golf this season. Ben Griffin’s runner-up finish marks another milestone in his breakout year, vaulting him up the FedEx Cup leaderboard and solidifying his reputation as one of the tour’s rising stars.

Final Top Memorial Tournament Leaderboard:.

Scheffler’s back-to-back Memorial wins put him in elite company, drawing comparisons to Tiger Woods’ dominance at the event. All eyes now turn to the next stop on the PGA Tour, with Scheffler and Griffin both poised to make headlines as the season heats up.
