The Memorial Tournament is one of eight Signature Events on the PGA Tour during the 2025 season.
Griffin Is Looking for His Second PGA Tour Win
Griffin, who won the 2025 Zurich Classic in New Orleans in April 2025 while playing with Andrew Novak, told reporters after the third round, “I’m a PGA Tour winner now, so that helps. Going into tomorrow very confident. I feel like I’m in a really good spot. It seems like me and Matti are going to duel it out a little bit tomorrow based on the way the leaderboard is, at least try to take advantage of our leads that we currently have over third and fourth.
Griffin added, “So, yeah, the pedal is going to be down. I’m excited to get back out there. You know, there’s some birdie holes to start the round tomorrow. So excited to go at it and see what I can do.”
Schmid, who is searching for his first professional victory, said at a press conference after the third round, “Well, I had a few close calls also on the European Tour, I would say. I also played some nice final rounds this year too, so hopefully I can just put one more up there tomorrow, and hopefully that’s enough.”
Griffin said about the Colonial Country Club course, “It’s just an old-school golf course. We don’t play a ton of it. We do play a decent amount, but you know, it seems like the way the landscape of modern professional golf is big, long golf courses, long par-3s. This is plenty hard of a test for us even though it’s not that long, if you look at the score cards.”
He added, “You have to be in the right positions. You hit a lot of irons off tees. You can take advantage of driver on certain holes. So I’m excited to attack some of the par-5s, attack some of the shorter par-4s with driver, and make sure I keep it in play on other par 4s with 10 and 17 with long irons off the tee.”
