Should Scottie Scheffler win The Memorial Tournament on Sunday, it will once again be the final five holes of his third round which is looked back upon as the turning point in his week.

Of course, Scottie Scheffler took charge of the PGA Championship with an amazing finish on Saturday at Quail Hollow. And he was at it again at The Memorial, with four birdies in his final five holes at Muirfield Village to move one ahead of Ben Griffin.

It was a stunning performance from the world number one. As many of his peers moved backwards, Scheffler was able to post a flawless scorecard.

But you would be mistaken if you assumed that Scheffler was very content with where his game was at and packed the clubs away as soon as he signed for his 68 at Jack’s Place.

What Ted Scott told a fan who shouted out at Scottie Scheffler on the range at The Memorial Tournament

Scheffler headed to the range after his third round. And understandably, one fan expressed some concern that he was hitting it too well on the range.

All amateur golfers have been there; where a brilliant range session almost leads to more anxiety heading to the first tee. It never seems quite possible, and yet, the ball never quite comes off the club face in the same way once on the course.

So one spectator shouted: ‘save those shots for tomorrow’ at Scheffler. And that prompted his caddie Ted Scott to step in.

“Don’t be fooled, kid. Plenty more where that came from. It’s good advice for most hackers like me and you. Maybe not you, but me,” he said.

The impressive stats from Scottie Scheffler’s third round at The Memorial

Scheffler may not have shot the best round of the day, but he arguably produced the most important round on Saturday. He is now one clear of Ben Griffin, while Nick Taylor is the only other player within four of the world number one.

And clearly, it was Scheffler’s performance from tee to green which set him up for the brilliant day.

Another round like that on Sunday, and it is hard to see how anyone prevents Scheffler from retaining his Memorial title.
