J.T. Poston defeated Ryan Gerard on the second playoff hole to win the Memorial Tournament.
After both players parred the 18th hole in sudden death, they played it again and Gerard three-putted for bogey. Poston’s short par save earned him his fourth PGA Tour victory, a handshake from tournament host Jack Nicklaus and $4 million.
Gerard collected $2.2 million. He initially broke from a crowded leaderboard at Muirfield Village with a 37-foot birdie putt on the par-4 17th. Poston responded by hitting his approach shot on the par-4 18th to 7 feet and converting the birdie.
The two finished regulation at 12 under par, one shot clear of Wyndham Clark (67). Tommy Fleetwood (68) and Sam Burns (69) tied for fourth.
