DUBLIN, Ohio — Scottie Scheffler is winning with such alarming regularity that describing his dominance is not a comfortable topic. So when he won the Memorial on Sunday for the second straight year, he at least had tournament host Jack Nicklaus at his side.
Nicklaus is a great authority when it comes to Scheffler because the Golden Bear sees so much of himself in the world's No. 1 player. 'Once I got myself into position to win, then you've got to be smart about how you finish it,' Nicklaus said after watching Scheffler turn a tussle into a four-shot victory. 'And that's the way he's playing. He reminds me so much of the way I like to play.
Scheffler, however, doesn't make mistakes. Fairway and green on 17th, fairway and green on the 18th. Griffin made double bogey on the 17th. 'I'm definitely proving further more that I belong at the top in this game,' Griffin said. 'I won twice the last five weeks and those feelings are fun on Sunday nights when you're signing a bunch of flags. I was prepared to do that today and ultimately just didn't execute how I wanted to to get it done.
