Bryson DeChambeau will be determined to win the
Memorial Tournament trophy for the second time at the Muirfield Village Golf Club.
The American star is currently ranked fourth in the Official World Golf Ranking and it is his highest ranking in the world.
DeChambeau has won eight times on the PGA Tour including one major championship, the 2020 U.S Open.
The man nicknamed the Scientist won the Memorial Tournament in 2018 in a sudden-death playoff against Kyle Stanley and An Byeong-hun.

After Stanley bogeyed the first hole of sudden death, DeChambeau proceeded to win with a birdie on the second hole.
The Scientist has already tasted some success this year having won the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill Club & Lodge in Orlando, Florida, in March 2021.
DeChambeau, who was born in Modesto, California, shot a final round one-under 71 to defeat Lee Westwood by one shot.

The 27-year-old said he had texted with golf icon Tiger Woods before he won the Arnold Palmer as his compatriot motivated him.
“We just talked about, just keep fighting no matter what happens,” DeChambeau said.
“Play boldly, like Mr. Palmer said. My heart has been heavy with Tiger and with what’s been going on with him, and I just kept telling myself.
"It’s not how many times you get kicked down, it’s about how many times you get picked back up and you keep going, and that’s what I surely did out there today.”
Tiger Woods is the most decorated player in the history of the Memorial Tournament having won five titles in 1999, 2000, 2001, 2009 and 2012.
