US EditionJack Nicklaus on defending Memorial champ Scheffler: 'He plays a lot like I did'
- Scottie Scheffler, the defending Memorial champion, prepares to defend his title at the 50th Memorial starting Thursday at Muirfield Village.
- Scheffler earned the Memorial win last year and followed it with his third major victory at the PGA Championship two weeks ago, boosting his total worldwide titles to 18.
- Jack Nicklaus, who founded the tournament in 1976 and won 18 majors himself, compared Scheffler's style to his own prime playing days, praising his controlled tee-to-green game.
- Nicklaus characterized Scheffler as a player who consistently controls his shots, shapes the ball from left to right, demonstrates considerable distance when desired, and frequently finds the greens. He also noted that Scheffler’s style closely resembles his own approach during his prime.
- With a competitive field missing Rory McIlroy and course conditions softened by recent rainfall, the Memorial presents an opportunity for Scheffler to become one of the few players to win consecutive titles at Muirfield Village, ahead of the challenging U.S. Open at Oakmont.
