PGA Memorial Tournament 2024: Round 3 tee times and pairings
The penultimate day’s action at this year’s Memorial Tournament gets underway on Saturday at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio.
The World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler eagled the 15th hole and birdied the 18th to secure a three-shot lead at the Memorial Tournament on Friday in Dublin, Ohio.
The 27-year-old is seeking his fifth win of the season with his 4-under 68 was the second-best round of the day as Muirfield Village Golf Club and Scheffler holds a solid advantage over Norway’s Viktor Hovland (69 Friday) and Canada’s Adam Hadwin (72) back at 6 under.
South African Christiaan Bezuidenhout posted the round of the day early on Friday, a 5-under 67, to jump up the leaderboard. He is tied for fourth at 5 under with Keegan Bradley (69).
Asked if golf is “easy” for him right now, Scheffler laughed. “Easy is definitely not the right word,” he said.
Defending champion Viktor Hovland continues to see signs of improvement with his swing after reuniting with his coach, Joe Mayo, earlier this year.
Ludvig Aberg of Sweden (72) is alone in sixth at 4 under. PGA Championship winner Xander Schauffele (73), Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland (71), Tony Finau (70) and Akshay Bhatia (72) are tied at 3 under.
The Ohio based Jack Nicklaus’ event will not see the likes of Jordan Spieth (5 over), Wyndham Clark (5 over), Patrick Cantlay (7 over), Englishman Justin Rose (9 over) or Rickie Fowler (14 over, last place) on the weekend with these big names missing the cut.
