Memorial Tournament: Scottie Scheffler edges Collin Morikawa to claim fifth PGA Tour win of season

Scottie Scheffler will be favourite for US Open victory after a fifth PGA Tour victory in eight events; Collin Morikawa finished second ahead of Adam Hadwin; Rory McIlroy ended tied-15th after disappointing final round at Muirfield Village

Scottie Scheffler came through a final-round tussle with Collin Morikawa to claim a fifth PGA Tour victory of the season with a one-shot win at the Memorial Tournament.

Scheffler, who had already won the Arnold Palmer Invitational, The Players, The Masters and the RBC Heritage in a dominant start to the year, now heads into the US Open with five wins in his last eight starts despite being nowhere near his convincing best on Sunday.

The 27-year-old saw his four-shot overnight lead cut to one at Muirfield Village as Morikawa and Adam Hadwin piled on the pressure, although Scheffler never relinquished top spot as he came through a tough final day at Muirfield Village.

Scheffler mixed a birdie with three bogeys during a two-over 74, seeing him end the week on eight under and take the $3.6m first prize, with playing partner Collin Morikawa finishing a shot back in second after a one-under 71.
