Hovland Overcomes Close Call For Break Through Win
THE MEMORIAL TOURNAMENT

Norway’s Viktor Hovland parred the first extra hole to defeat American Denny McCarthy in a playoff to win the Memorial Tournament for his fourth US PGA Tour title.

The 25-year-old from Oslo, a runner-up in last month’s PGA Championship, had not won on tour since the 2021 World Wide Technology Championship in Mexico.

Seventh-ranked Hovland and McCarthy each fired a two-under-par 70 to finish 72 holes on seven-under 281 at Muirfield Village.

In the playoff at the par-4 18th hole, McCarthy found the right rough and pitched into the fairway while Hovland reached the green in two. McCarthy missed a par putt from just inside 12 feet while Hovland sank made par from just inside seven feet for the trophy.
