Scottie Scheffler's impressive 2024 season continued with a significant win at the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday, held at Muirfield Village. This victory marked his fifth PGA TOUR win in his last eight starts, putting him in elite company as no player had won five TOUR titles in a season before the U.S. Open since Tom Watson in 1980. Scheffler managed an 8-under 280 to secure a one-stroke win over Collin Morikawa despite carding a 2-over 74 on a challenging Sunday. This win was especially meaningful for Scheffler as he overcame previous putting struggles that had cost him the victory at the same tournament a year ago. The win was celebrated with his wife Meredith and their infant son Bennett, marking his first victory as a dad.
