Nick Taylor Eyes Comeback in Final Round of Memorial Tournament
As the 2025 Memorial Tournament charges into its final day at the storied Muirfield Village Golf Club, one name quietly yet confidently remains within striking distance of the leaders—Nick Taylor. The Canadian golfer, currently sitting at five-under-par, just three shots back from the leader Scottie Scheffler, finds himself in a crucial position heading into Sunday’s final round.
Despite a challenging third round that saw him post a two-over-par 74, Taylor remains very much in contention. With conditions playing tough and the leaderboard shifting with every hole, his resilience and poise have kept him within reach of the title. While Scheffler dazzled on Saturday with a bogey-free 68 and Ben Griffin stumbled slightly to an even-par 72, Taylor remains a potential spoiler in what’s shaping up to be a dramatic finish.

Taylor’s performance at Muirfield has been marked by steadiness and strategic play. Though Round 3 wasn’t his best outing—marked by a few wayward approaches and missed opportunities—his prior rounds were solid enough to anchor him in the top three. What’s more, Taylor has already proven his mettle on Tour, and Sunday’s test will be as much mental as it is physical.
When asked about the challenge of chasing down a red-hot Scottie Scheffler, Taylor didn’t mince words: “He’s obviously playing phenomenal, so I’ll have to play some of my best golf to be in the hunt there with the last few holes to go.” It’s this mindset—focused, realistic, and determined—that makes Taylor such a compelling competitor going into the final round.
He tees off Sunday at 1:54 p.m. ET alongside Austria’s Sepp Straka, while the final group of Scheffler and Griffin begins their duel at 2:05 p.m. But make no mistake—Taylor is within striking range. If he can tighten up his iron play and rediscover the short-game sharpness that put him in contention earlier this week, we could see fireworks down the stretch.
And with a $20 million purse on the line, including $4 million to the winner, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Every shot will count, and Taylor knows that. Sunday will demand a mix of calm under pressure, calculated risks, and maybe even a touch of magic.
So as the final round unfolds, keep your eyes on Nick Taylor. He may not be in the final pairing, but he’s in the hunt—and in golf, especially at Muirfield Village, that’s more than enough.
