Viktor Hovland defeated Denny McCarthy in a playoff to win the Memorial Tournament in Ohio
the Memorial Tournament payouts and points: Viktor Hovland earns $3.6 million and 550 FedExCup points
You will recall that Grillo also prevailed in a playoff, so this is the first time that there have been consecutive playoffs on TOUR since the PGA Championship and the Schwab, basically one year and one week ago. Perhaps already the forgotten victim at Colonial only a week ago, however, is Adam Schenk. He was +20000 to win the Memorial and rose for a share of seventh place, just four strokes back of the playoff. He was longest of the 11 golfers who recorded a top 10. (Schenk was +15000 to win the Schwab.)
Viktor Hovland wins Memorial with clutch late putting
McCarthy had a one-shot lead when he missed the 18th fairway to the left, pitched out to the fairway and narrowly missed a 25-foot par putt for the win. In the playoff, his shot from the right rough rolled back off the green some 50 yards away. He pitched to 12 feet and the putt caught the left edge and spun away.

Scheffler turned a statistically dominant performance from tee-to-green, picking up 20.7 strokes on the field in that category. But he lost 8.5 strokes to the field in his putting. This might be the best context — it was nearly a 20-shot differential in putting to McCarthy, and Scheffler finished one shot behind.
