With the final round of the 2024 Memorial Tournament set to tee off on June 9, Scottie Scheffler leads the field with a score of ten under par. The World No. 1 carded a third round score of one under par 71.

Scottie Scheffler showcased some exceptional shots during the third round. However, there was one specific shot that encompassed great skill and took social media by storm. The par four 493-yard-long 17th hole of Muirfield Village Golf Club saw Scheffler hit a massive 331 yard drive off the tee, which unfortunately found the rough to the left of the fairway.

With around 175 yards to the pin, Scheffler needed to play a tricky shot out of the very thick rough. He had his approach shot play off a downhill lie, resulting in the ball's position lying below his feet. Scheffler went on to play a stunning fade that pitched right on the front edge of the green and rolled to the fringe of the back edge of the 17th hole green.

However, it wasn't the shot that left fans amazed, it was Scottie Scheffler's swing. Considering the tricky lie of his second shot, Scheffler played the shot with the ball position a little back.

As he loaded up after his backswing, he exhibited great power through impact. Using his trail foot to use ground force and generate power, his foot could not hold back as it followed the ball through impact, leaving Scheffler standing on one leg at the end of the shot.

The shot had an incredible ball speed of 101 miles per hour with a spin rate of 3159 rpm. Scheffler proceeded to stick the 40-foot-long chip to within 7 feet of the hole. He holed the putt to card in a par to put him two under par through 17 holes for the day.
