DUBLIN, Ohio (AP) — Scottie Scheffler is winning with such alarming regularity that describing his dominance is not a comfortable topic. So when he won the Memorial on Sunday for the second straight year, he at least had tournament host Jack Nicklaus at his side.
Nicklaus is a great authority when it comes to Scheffler because the Golden Bear sees so much of himself in the world's No. 1 player.
“Once I got myself into position to win, then you've got to be smart about how you finish it,” Nicklaus said after watching Scheffler turn a tussle into a four-shot victory. “And that's the way he's playing. He reminds me so much of the way I like to play.”
That's how it transpired again at tough Muirfield Village, just the way it played out when Scheffler won the PGA Championship two weeks ago.
