Scheffler again, this time at the Memorial..Sunday TEE TIMES

 PGA Tour : the Memorial Sunday Tee Times

This is Scheffler's tournament now, though he still has to face a Muirfield Village course that is getting drier and windier and harder. Scheffler has four wins this year, but he has never gone into the final round leading by more than one.

“I’m going to go out tomorrow and try and have a good round of golf, keep my head down and stay in my own little world out there," Scheffler said. “I'm not going to really pay attention to what anybody else is doing. I'm just going to try and do my best.”

He hit out of a bunker over the green and into the water. He hit a tee shot over a boundary fence and made a triple bogey. He three-putted his last hole. All that, and he posted a 1-under 71 and increased his lead to 4 shots Saturday in the Memorial.

In his final start before the U.S. Open, Scheffler seized control despite a couple of blunders on a tough Muirfield Village Golf Club course. He still built a four-shot lead, moving closer to his fifth PGA TOUR victory of the year.

Scheffler was at -10 206, four shots ahead of Collin Morikawa, who played bogey-free for a 68, and Adam Hadwin, who made all his mistakes on one hole and shot 72.

He stayed in range until he caught a wedge so fat it didn't reach the green on the 14th. He pitched on to about 15 feet and three-putted for double bogey. The bogey on the 18th was his only other mistake.

Defending champion Viktor Hovland also was lingering in range until an atrocious back nine that started with a shot in the water on the par-5 11th led to bogey. He went long on the 12th for bogey, short on the 13th for bogey and long into the back bunker on the 14th for bogey.

Hovland then put his tee shot into the water on the par-3 16th for a triple bogey, shot 42 on the back nine and found himself nine shots out of the lead.

Rory McIlroy, who had a 73 and was eight back.

So ho hum...another $20,000,000 signature event all but in the bag for this quiet Texan with 18 to play and the US Open next..sounds familiar doesn't it.
