Scheffler holds a four-shot advantage entering the last 18 holes at Muirfield Town
The third round of the 2024 Remembrance Competition was about what Scottie Scheffler did, what he neglected to do, and eventually, what he did indeed as he holds a four-shot lead over Adam Hadwin, Collin Morikawa and Sepp Straka entering the last 18 holes of play at Muirfield Town. After a hindrance at the PGA Title, Scheffler is back in a notch proceeding to play the best golf that has been seen since Tiger Woods’ prime.
Currently a four-time champ this season, Scheffler is a monstrous number one to turn into the main player since Justin Thomas in 2017 to win multiple times in a year. It searched for some time in Cycle 3 like that opportunity could get away, however Scheffler did what Scheffler generally does and finished off the round with a whirlwind of birdies to cement his hang on the competition going into the last 18 holes.
We should investigate his all over day and what’s in store from the chasers going into Sunday.
The pioneer
- Scottie Scheffler (- 10): After he birdied two of the initial three openings, it appeared as though it very well may be one more out of control triumph for Scheffler. In any case, a wild triple intruder at the ninth opening – – including a too far out tee shot and five additional shots on his subsequent drive – – brought the whole field once again into play. By then, Scheffler fell once more into a tie for second with Adam Hadwin.
Obviously, he birdied two of his next three and had three circles by and large on the back nine to make back all of the ground he lost on that ninth opening. For what reason is this obvious? Scheffler does indeed, this. On the year, he positions No. 1 on the PGA Visit in quickly return, which is the point at which a player makes a birdie or better following an intruder or more terrible. His rate on this is a shocking 38%, which is more than 5% better than any other individual and almost 17% better than PGA Visit normal.
Scottie Scheffler makes the fifth triple intruder of his PGA Visit profession, and everything just got considerably more intriguing. He has never aggravated quad.
This is important for why he’s so hard to overcome. In addition to the fact that he is the most incredible in the field (and the world) from tee to green and with his methodology play, and in addition to the fact that he never commits a course the board error. Yet, when he has a setback as he offed the ninth tee, he’s intellectually intense enough not exclusively to answer however to eradicate all that what occurred on that terrible opening.
That is an uncommon gift for someone who has a great deal of them and one of the many reasons he’s presently the – 600 #1 to win on Sunday evening at Muirfield Town.
What’s in question for Scottie?
There are various genuinely insane achievements on the table for the No. 1 player on the planet, including (yet not restricted to the accompanying), which would all be achieved with a triumph.
- First player since Thomas in 2017 to win multiple times on the PGA Visit in a season
- Break the record for cash procured in a PGA Visit season ($21 million)
- Would be the quickest to arrive at five successes in a PGA Visit season since Tom Watson in 1980
He’s likewise dominating probably the greatest names in the game right now overwhelmingly.
On the off chance that Scottie wins on Sunday, he will have as many (or more) wins since Walk 10 as the accompanying players have overall since January 1, 2020.

Competitors
T2. Collin Morikawa, Sepp Straka, Adam Hadwin (- 6)
T5. Xander Schauffele, Ludvig Aberg (- 4)
It’s a hitters-just circumstance at Muirfield Town this week. Sadly for this group, the best hitter on earth is something like four clear of all. Morikawa joins Scheffler in the last matching, a remix of their Lords last matching a month and a half prior. He’s presumably the most probable out of this gathering to win the tournament, however he will deal with a comparative issue as every other person.
That issue? Scheffler is maybe the best course supervisor on the planet. Furthermore, on a day when he just has to shoot 71 to win, he’s presumably going to decrease his gamble taking, which makes it considerably more probable that he shoots 71 to win (and we’re as of now discussing someone who has only one round more awful than 72 up until this point this season).
In any case, it’s remarkable that three of these players (Morikawa, Straka, Hadwin) are all in the main five in strokes acquired tee to green this week. It’s improbable that each of them three blur, however it could take something remarkable in the last round to get the No. 1 player on the planet.
2024 Remembrance Tournament refreshed chances, picks
- Scottie Scheffler: 2/9
- Collin Morikawa: 11-1
- Sepp Straka: 18-1
- Adam Hadwin: 28-1
- Xander Schauffele: 30-1
- Ludvig Aberg: 45-1
There are no decent decisions here. I surmise in the event that I need to pick someone that is not Scheffler, I’m going with Morikawa at 11-1. He has a triumph at Muirfield Town – – but not at the Commemoration – – and is fairly unobtrusively playing huge golf with six straight top 25s (counting two significant titles).
