Scottie Scheffler Takes Command at the Memorial Tournament 2025
Scottie Scheffler is back in the spotlight once again. The world number one golfer delivered a brilliant third-round performance at the Memorial Tournament 2025 in Columbus, Ohio, to grab the solo lead heading into the final day.
After starting Saturday three strokes behind, Scheffler played steady, smart golf through the front nine. He went bogey-free all day, making pars on his first 13 holes. Then came the fireworks. He birdied four of his last five holes—14, 15, 17, and 18—finishing the round with a four-under-par 68.
His total score of eight under pushed him one shot clear of fellow American Ben Griffin, who had led coming into the day. Scheffler’s late-round charge was exactly the kind of drama fans love at the Memorial Tournament 2025.

A Clutch Finish That Shifted the Momentum
The Memorial Tournament 2025 is no walk in the park. It’s known for tough course conditions, fast greens, and holes that punish even small mistakes. Saturday’s round proved just that. Even par was considered a good score by many players. But Scheffler found a way to stay focused and finish strong when it mattered most.
“I was definitely proud of the way I finished,” he said after the round. “It was really challenging out there. Even par would have been a solid round. A few more putts dropping would have made it even better.”
Scheffler’s ability to stay calm and pick the right moments to attack has been key to his recent success. If he wins on Sunday, it will be his third victory in just four tournaments — a remarkable stretch by any measure.
The leader at the start of the day, Ben Griffin, had a mixed round. With five birdies and five bogeys, he posted an even-par 72, behind by just one stroke. Nick Taylor of Canada had a difficult time as well; he finished with a 74 and is currently three strokes behind at five under.
Ireland’s Shane Lowry is tied for seventh after a one-over 73 and remains in contention as we head into the final stretch of the Memorial Tournament 2025.

Even with all the pressure on him, Scheffler kept his cool and didn’t let the moment get to him. He made just one bogey in his last 40 holes — a sign of how locked in and focused he really was. Even Jack Nicklaus had kind words for how steady and mentally strong he looked out there.
This win adds another highlight to what’s already been an amazing season for Scheffler — and he doesn’t seem to be slowing down anytime soon. All eyes now turn to the upcoming U.S. Open, where he’ll look to carry this momentum even further.
