Jordan Spieth lets another tournament get away from him after he went into the final round as the leader. Jason Kokrak takes the Charles Schwab who went off at 50-1 to win outright pre-tournament. The good news for Spieth is he has been playing better as of late, and has another strong chance in this weeks tournament.
The PGA travels to Dublin, Ohio this week for the Memorial Tournament. Muirfield Village underwent some renovations after last years tournament to lengthen the course. In addition to length, they also increased the difficulty by adding some new greenside and fairway bunkers. Most of the greens have reconstructed as well with new bentgrass. The caddies have been given the following pamphlet to highlight all the changes made. This weeks field of 120 golfer’s features some pretty big names including Bryson Dechambeau, Rory McIlroy, and the defending champion Jon Rahm.
