2024 Memorial Event Sunday tee instances: Spherical 4 pairings 

Who will shake Jack Nicklaus’ hand? We’ll study that late Sunday afternoon. 

However who would like to?

We heard the reply this week. The gesture from the 18-time main champion is delivered on the 18th inexperienced to the winner of the Memorial, the event he hosts, and the greeting is treasured, the professionals stated. 

“Yeah, this can be a particular place for me,” Scottie Scheffler stated. “I bear in mind after I was in faculty, I got here right here and performed — I’d play the U.S. Open qualifier over on the different programs right here; I can’t bear in mind what their names are proper now. However yeah, we might at all times come over and watch the apply spherical and keep an additional day and watch a bit of bit. I at all times dreamed of coming right here and taking part in on this event and it’s a dream come true simply to be right here within the discipline. So I’m excited. It might imply rather a lot to me to have the ability to shake his hand and win this golf event with all of the historical past right here and what Mr. Nicklaus has meant to the sport.”

“Oh, it will be so particular,” Collin Morikawa stated. “Look, what Jack has finished for this sport, what his voice does, what he represents, it’s rather a lot. You’ll be able to’t substitute historical past, you possibly can’t substitute somebody like that, so to have that probability hopefully come Sunday, it will imply the world. Like I stated, speaking about Tiger [Woods], it’s the identical factor speaking about Jack. Sure, you understand, he was a bit of bit earlier than I bought into golf, however historical past is historical past. When you’ve gotten somebody like that, one of many greats, if not the good, proper? It’s an absolute honor.”

“Yeah, it’s a dream,” Xander Schauffele stated. “I feel any Tour professional would inform you that for those who’re kind of the non-majors, that is positively on the prime of ’em. , you’re attempting to win Jack’s, you’re attempting to win Arnie’s [Arnold Palmer Invitational], you’re attempting to win Tiger’s [Genesis Invitational], you throw the Gamers in there, however these are a bit of extra distinctive clearly with — such as you stated, with what Jack has finished for the sport of golf and grown it and us simply being a small a part of it. So, it will be superior.”

“Yeah, it’s fairly cool,” stated Viktor Hovland, who gained the Memorial final 12 months. “Clearly, coming right here for a pair years, I’ve gotten to see Jack and see him different locations as properly, so it wasn’t like the primary time I met him. However, yeah, being round a man like that who has completed a lot, that’s fairly cool, and so to win his event right here in Columbus, it’s fairly particular.”

In finest form for the handshake is Scheffler, who leads Morikawa, Adam Hadwin and Sepp Straka by 4 after 54 holes. Scheffler and Morikawa will make up the ultimate pairing, and Hadwin and Straka are a part of the penultimate group.
