In April, Scottie Scheffler claimed his second Masters victory, cementing his position as a top contender in the world of golf. Now, at the Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village in Ohio, Scheffler has once again taken the lead after two rounds. He sits at nine under par, three strokes ahead of Adam Hadwin and Viktor Hovland.
Hadwin, who started the day in the lead, faltered with a double bogey on the 17th hole, allowing Scheffler to surge ahead. Scheffler’s performance was highlighted by an eagle on the 15th hole and a birdie on the 18th, showcasing his skill and composure under pressure.
Rory McIlroy, Tommy Fleetwood and Jordan Spieth are among other notable players in the tournament who are vying for a top spot in the leaderboard. Unfortunately, Justin Rose and Rickie Fowler failed to make the cut, highlighting the competitive nature of this event as players prepare for the upcoming US Open.
As the final event before the US Open, the Memorial Tournament serves as a critical opportunity for players to fine-tune their skills and test their mettle against a talented field. With a $20 million purse on the line, the pressure is on for players to deliver their best performance in hopes of securing victory.
