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!
