Scottie Scheffler climbed up to lead with a score of 8-under par in the Memorial Tournament during Moving Day, after finishing fourth at the end of Day 2. He achieved this feat and also recorded a major personal career achievement.

The World No. 1 recorded a bogey-free round, his first-ever in his career at Muirfield Village, finding four birdies in holes 14,15,17 and 18. He is a favorite to win heading into the final round on Sunday.

If he secures a win, he will join the history books of Muirfield Village alongside Tiger Woods by achieving back-to-back Memorial victories. However, Scheffler has to look over his shoulder, as Ben Griffin is right on his heels.

Griffin is second on the leaderboard with a 7-under-par score. He recorded five bogeys and five birdies during the match, which evened out his score in Round 3. He will surely aim to minimize bogeys on Sunday.

Nick Taylor has dropped down to third after an up-and-down performance on Day 3. He opened with two consecutive bogeys, then recorded a double bogey on hole 12, followed by another bogey on 13. His saving grace was an eagle on 14 and a birdie on 15.

Scottie was flushing it on the range after his first career bogey-free round at Muirfield Village.

A fan told him to “save those shots for tomorrow.”

Scheffler also had a hilarious interaction with a fan. After Day 3, he was practicing his shots at the range when a fan asked him to “save those shots for tomorrow.” To this, his caddie, Ted Scott, responded, “Don’t be fooled … plenty more where that came from.”

Scheffler is expected to find fairways effortlessly on Sunday.
