Scottie Scheffler, Jordan Spieth, Ben Griffin, and a field full of contenders are ready to make Sunday at Muirfield anything but predictable. After three intense rounds, the leaderboard is tightening. Scottie Scheffler has looked calm and in control from the very start. He opened with rounds of 70 and 70 in Rounds 1 and 2, then followed up with an impressive 68 in Round 3. Hot on wheels at T2, just a shot behind Scheffler is Ben Griffin. Jordan Spieth has been steadily climbing as well. After rounds of 72 and 69 in the first two rounds, he shot par in R3 to finish at T4. Now, everyone is eyeing Memorial’s Sunday for a nail-biting round.
The final round tees off at 8:55 a.m. ET, but all the spotlight will be on the afternoon wave. Jordan Spieth heads out at 1:43 p.m. ET alongside Keegan Bradley, looking to go low and pull off a Sunday charge. Just behind, Scheffler will tee off at 2:05 p.m. ET with Ben Griffin in the final pairing.

All the players are fighting for the coveted $20 million purse, but at Muirfield Village, nothing comes easy.
Top 3 game-changing holes at the 2025 Memorial Tournament
As we head into the final round, three holes could flip everything in a heartbeat. Take the par-3 16th; at just over 200 yards, it doesn’t look terrifying, but it’s all carry over water to a narrow green with slopes and bunkers waiting to punish anything slightly off-line. Then there’s the finishing hole, 18, a 484-yard par 4 with water left and trouble everywhere. It’s the kind of closing test that demands precision off the tee and nerves on the approach.

And No. 11 should not be taken for granted either. A long par 5 with a creek that crosses the fairway three times and an elevated green that dares you to go for it. Miss your spot, and a birdie opportunity turns into a double bogey. And whoever handles them best on Sunday could be the one walking off with the trophy.
