DUBLIN, Ohio (AP) — Scottie Scheffler never lost the lead and never gave anyone much of a chance down the stretch Sunday in another relentless performance, closing with a 2-under 70 for a four-shot victory to join Tiger Woods as the only repeat winners of the Memorial.

With a slightly imperfect but largely perfunctory two-under 70, Scheffler successfully defended his title in the Memorial Tournament Sunday with a four-stroke victory over Griffin. Four sub-par rounds added to 10-under 278 and the ninth straight time he has converted a 54-hole outright lead to a victory.

The Memorial Tournament will come to a close on Sunday at Muirfield Village Golf Club with Scottie Scheffler leading by one stroke heading into the final round.

Following the dramatic moment, Spieth ended the tournament by tying for seventh and taking home more than $600,000 in prize money

The Memorial Tournament field has shrunk from the 120 players it used to have, but that doesn't mean the 72 golfers in the field don't have to worry about making the cut.

A spot in the year’s final major championship was up for grabs to the highest finisher who wasn’t already exempt.

Graham won eight times on tour, including two majors -- the 1979 PGA Championship and 1981 U.S. Open. He also won the 1980 Memorial. He has 36 career tour wins that came on six different continents, and won five times on the Champions Tour before retiring in 2004.
