Scottie Scheffler successfully defended his Memorial Tournament title at Muirfield Village, capturing his third victory of the season with a four-stroke margin. The world No. 1 completed rounds of 70-70-68-70 to maintain his dominance at Jack Nicklaus’s course for the second consecutive year, showcasing his skill and composure under challenging conditions.
How Scheffler’s Equipment Choices Supported His Win
Scheffler retained the same club setup he used to claim the PGA Championship in May, choosing consistency to navigate similar course conditions. He opted for the TaylorMade Qi35 7-wood instead of the Srixon ZU85 3-iron, a strategic decision tailored for the wet fairways and thick rough commonly encountered both at Quail Hollow Club and Muirfield Village.
The rest of his bag remained steady, blending reliability and precision to support his gameplay throughout the tournament.
