World No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler won the Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio on Sunday.

And while the former Texas standout dominated, Alabama had three past golfers participate in this weekend's event: Justin Thomas, Bud Cauley and Nick Dunlap.

Thomas finished tied for 31st with a 5-over par. He shot 80-69-71-73 over the last four days. As a true freshman in 2011-12, the consensus top-five recruit in the nation won the Haskins Award and the Nicklaus Award, presented to the National Player of the Year, while also taking home the Phil Mickelson Award (National Freshman of the Year).

Cauley was tied for 39th logging 7-over par on 71-74-75-75. Between 2008-09 and 2009-10, Cauley was a two-time first-team Golfweek All-American and a two-time second-team PING All-American. He was also selected to the All-Nicklaus Team as a freshman and was a finalist for the Hogan Award as a sophomore (semifinalist as a freshman).

Dunlap tied for 44th (8-over par) after shooting 74-74-75-73 this weekend. Dunlap announced in January 2024 that he was turning professional midway through his sophomore season after winning The American Express to become the first amateur to win on TOUR in more than 30 years. He was later named the 2024 Arnold Palmer Award Rookie of the Year on the PGA Tour.
