Matt Kuchar In The Bag: Memorial Tournament Winning Clubs
Published: Last updated:
Matt Kuchar won the Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Ohio after finishing two shots clear of fellow American Kevin Chappell.
Overnight leader Kuchar shot a four-under-par final round of 68 for an overall score of 12-under.
The 34-year-old said: “This is some amazing feeling. This stuff never gets old. The real treat is my wife and my kids running out here, it is a special feeling. It got scary at the end though.”
Kuchar birdied all four of the par-5s to remain in control, and while he should have faced a nervy two-putt for the win on the final green, he confidently holed a 20-foot birdie putt to win by two.
26-year-old Kevin Chappell, seeking his first PGA Tour victory, birdied four of the last six holes for a bogey-free 68, to finish in outright second place.
English pair Brian Davis and Justin Rose were the top Europeans, earning a share of eighth place on four-under-par.
World number two Rory McIlroy struggled to a six-over total, having narrowly made the cut after a torrid opening 78.
The Northern Irishman at least finished ahead of Tiger Woods, whose eight over total included a career worst nine holes of 44.
