DUBLIN, Ohio – The 2014 FedEx Cup champion Billy Horschel converted a five-stroke lead beginning the final round into his seventh career PGA Tour title, winning by four-shots over Aaron Wise. Horschel improved to 3-for-5 when attempting to convert a 54-hole lead/co-lead on Tour.
Horschel’s 52’ 10” putt at the par-five 15th marked his first eagle in 576 holes played at the Memorial Tournament and secured the victory while it ended the Tour streak of winners coming from behind in a final round at four, including seven-shot rallies from Justin Thomas (PGA Championship) and Sam Burns (Charles Schwab Challenge).
Wise was seeking his second career PGA Tour title and first since the 2018 AT&T Byron Nelson, where coincidentally, Horschel was defending champion.
Reigning FedEx Cup champion and defending Memorial Tournament champion Patrick Cantlay finished T-3 in his bid to join Tiger Woods (2000 and 2001) as players to successfully defend a Memorial Tournament title.
