PGA Championship winner Scottie Scheffler is eyeing more success this weekend as he closes in on another title.
The three-time major champion has headlined the field at the Memorial Tournament, with Rory McIlroy not involved.

The Northern Irishman elected to give this one a miss to play in the RBC Canadian Open next week ahead of the upcoming US Open.
But it’s a decision that might not go down too well with many golf fans, given this is Jack Nicklaus’ tournament.
The Memorial is one of the eight elevated events again this season, and the field has been packed with top players including Scheffler, Xander Schauffele, Justin Thomas, Ludvig Aberg and Colin Morikawa.
Scheffler is the defending champion following his 1 stroke win over Morikawa last year.
And he leads again, going into the final round, sitting one shot clear of Ben Griffin and three ahead of Nick Taylor.

Memorial: What has been said?
Speaking about potentially beating Scheffler this weekend, Griffin said on Saturday: “I would like to say that’s what all of us out here on Tour wish for.
“They want to compete against the best players. I definitely do.
“I want to stack up my game against his [Scheffler’s]. I feel like right now — you know, I beat him last week.
“Obviously, he’s coming off a major win. But, yeah, I feel like he obviously can be beaten, and I’ve just got to keep the pedal down and make a lot of birdies because I know he’s going to as well.”
Griffin added: “But I’ve got to do some similar things to what I did on Thursday when I had an awesome round.
“Obviously, I made some of those putts that you don’t normally make, and so if you look at the last couple days, I’ve still hit it really well.
“But I haven’t quite made as many of those longer putts that I did the first day, so hopefully I can sneak a few of those in.”
