DUBLIN, Ohio — Scottie Scheffler had more stress than he wanted Sunday at the Memorial and got the victory everyone has come to expect.
That's what it took on the 18th hole. He was leading Morikawa by one shot and both hit approach shots that bounced hard and high off the green and into the rough. Both chipped to about five feet. Scheffler buried his putt to win, and the force of his fist pump to celebrate showed how tough this day was on him, and practically everybody.
Adam Hadwin of Abbotsford, B.C., was right there with them until closing with three straight bogeys for a 74 to finish alone in third. That's next week at Pinehurst No. 2, and Scheffler will go to the U.S. Open as a huge favourite. This was his 11th consecutive tournament with a top 10. Adam Svensson of Surrey, B.C., and Nick Taylor of Abbotsford finished tied for 27th on Sunday at 5 over. Taylor Pendrith of Richmond Hill, Ont., finished tied for 33rd at 6 over.Scheffler had only one birdie — a 10-foot putt on the sixth hole — and he missed two birdie chances inside 10 feet on the back nine that could have provided a cushion.Scheffler and Morikawa were both short of the super slick green some 90 feet away. Scheffler used putter and hit it weakly, coming up 15 feet short.
