$2.5 million for winning the U.S. Women's Open on Sunday at Riviera, finally overcoming the championship that means the most yet has eluded her. But the seven-figure payday allowed the 27-year-old to pass a career money milestone as she became the fifth player in LPGA history to earn more than $20 million on course in her career. Korda jumped Karrie Webb and Cristie Kerr into the No. 3 spot on the all-time list as she now has made $21,496,348 in 170 starts. Korda trails only No. 2 Lydia Ko ($21.8 million) and No. 1 Annika Sorenstam ($22.5 million), but it's only a matter of time before she passes both.

The St. Simons Island, Ga. resident capptures his fourth PGA Tour victory of his career on the second playoff hole at the Memorial Tournament after Gerard's three-putt. Incredible stuff from Poston, who hadn't had a top 20 on tour all year—and yet he wins one of the biggest events of the year. Poston was signed up for a U.S. Open qualifier on Monday in Columbus, Ohio, but not anymore—which is a relief for Poston, who had to play 31 holes on Sunday with the weather delays on Saturday. Poston's known as one of the shortest hitters on tour, and his previous three wins were all at shorter venues like the Wyndham, John Deere Classic and the Shriners. Yet here he's the winner in a signature event with a loaded field at one of the toughest ball-striking tests. 

"I didn't play my best on the first 12, 13 holes of the final round. But I told myself if I was going to shake Jack’s hand walking off 18, I wanted to be proud of myself," Poston said after. He will be very, very proud of himself, taking home the 50th edition of the Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village.

Now this epic day of golf watching on TV continues with the conclusion of the U.S. Women's Open at Riviera on NBC. It's a great day to be a golf fan!

Following Ryan Gerard's extremely clutch 37-foot putt on the 71st hole to grab the solo lead, J.T. Poston followed with a huge moment of his own—flagging his approach to about 7 feet and converting on the birdie to tie Gerard. Gerard left himself a slippery 5-footer for par to just secure a spot in the playoff, but he did just that.

The two North Carolina natives will duke it out on the 18th hole at nearly the same odds, according to the oddsmakers. DraftKings Sportsbook makes Poston a slight favorite at -114 (bet $114 to win $100) and Gerard is -112, a neglible difference.

Things were tightening up big time at Jack's Place, with four players tied for the lead. Gerard, one of those co-leaders, had just watched his playing partner Sam Burns just narrowly miss out on an unbelievable up and down from the walking path on 17. His putt came on a similar line to Gerard's upcoming birdie look from 37 feet. Then this happened.

That's how you take control of a tournament! Considering Gerard is looking for just his second PGA Tour victory, the first being the opposite-field Barracuda Championship, that was super clutch. Let's see what he does on 18.

Roger Maltbie won the tournament at Jack’s Place, and we’ll most remember his outfit. Memorial Tournament organizers even created specially made replicas of Maltbie’s shirt and slacks and presented them to him in May. He even wore the ensemble earlier this week while broadcasting the tournament for Golf Channel.

An account on X posted this video from the 1976 Memorial, and we enjoyed watching it—and we think you will, too.

Well … a lot. Claiming the biggest title in women’s golf would allow the 27-year-old to be the youngest American to have four major wins since Mickey Wright in 1960. It also, however, would make qualifying for the LPGA Hall of Fame a realistic goal this year. Currently she has 23 of the 27 necessary HOF points, and a win in a major gets her two more. Plus, a Women's Open victory gives her four wins and two major titles in 2026, which makes her chances of earning LPGA player-of-the-year honors very real, giving her one more point in November. She would then just need another win/point some time in 2026 or also claim the one point for winning the Vare Trophy (low scoring average for the season) if she plays the minimum number of rounds.

and the forecast has only a 20 percent chance of afternoon thunderstorms. The hope of course is that things can get settled by sundown at Muirfield Village. But Saturday’s storm and decision to call play at around 6 p.m. was no joke. Take a look at this video of the TV tower on the 10th hole having been blown down by the winds.

For some, it could just be a few squares on the card. For others, it can be a lot worse. Regardless, there are consistent ways to handle them as they happen, which Drew Powell and I have discussed in a recent Golf IQ podcast.
