DUBLIN, Ohio -- Scottie Scheffler hit out of a bunker over the green and into the water. He hit a tee shot over a boundary fence and made a triple bogey. He three-putted his last hole. All that, and he posted a 1-under 71 and increased his lead Saturday in the Memorial.
In his final start before the U.S. Open, Scheffler seized control despite a couple of blunders on a tough Muirfield Village course. He still built a four-shot lead, moving closer to his fifth PGA Tour victory of the year.
Scheffler was at 10-under 206, four shots ahead of Collin Morikawa, who played bogey-free for a 68, and Adam Hadwin, who made all his mistakes on one hole and shot 72.
