Article excerpt

Scottie Scheffler, the back-to-back defending champion at the Memorial Tournament, barely survived the cut after round two, sitting 10 shots behind leader J.T. Poston heading into the weekend. The world's top-ranked golfer struggled through much of Friday's play before mounting a late rally to secure his spot in the final 36 holes. Despite his recent dominance at Muirfield Village, Scheffler faces significant ground to make up if he hopes to claim a third consecutive title.
