Billy Horschel

The former FedEx champion carded a bogey-free 65 at Muirfield Village Golf Club to be 13-under par for the tournament as he moved ahead of compatriot Aaron Wise ...

PGA Tour senior tournament director Steve Rintoul said images of the club were posted online and his team only learned of them after Matsuyama had used it on the first tee. "Those markings were placed there by his club guy to help with alignment. "But what was done there with that substance which is very much like a whiteout substance we would use at home, was a coating that was not only in the grooves but was very thick along the face, and now he's applied a substance to the face, which renders the club non-conforming.

A closing 72 gave Horschel a four-shot winning margin over Wise, with defending champion Patrick Cantlay and Joaquin Niemann two shots further back. Rory ...

"But I played really solid today and really happy with it. Rory McIlroy shot rounds of 73 and 74 over the weekend to slip into a tie for 18th on two under, the four-time major winner covering the front nine in 41 on Sunday before repairing some of the damage with birdies on the 12th, 14th and 15th. However, Horschel then holed from 53 feet for an eagle - his first in 573 holes in the event - to effectively seal victory before dropping just his fourth shot of the week on the 17th.

The final round featured some nervous moments despite a five-shot advantage at the start, but a long eagle at the 15th sealed the deal for Horschel.

Niemann, who won another elevated event at Riviera in the Genesis Invitational, made a strong move and was creeping within range until his wedge on the 14th found a bunker, leading to double bogey. He has three victories in the last 15 months, all of them against strong fields — the Dell Match Play and the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth last year, and now this. He and Joaquin Niemann were the only players to apply any serious pressure on Horschel. He opened the back nine with a pair of birdies sand saved par from the back bunker on the 12th. It was calling on the 15th hole after Wise stuffed a wedge into 2 feet for birdie. Horschel finished at 13-under 275 and won $2.16 million, the largest paycheck of his career. His lead was up to four shots, and it was a comfortable finish.

Horschel, now ranked 11th in the world, won his first PGA Tour stroke-play event since 2017.

2005 (+2.03) is the largest jump in that span. He hit only 29 of 56 fairways and lost strokes to the field off the tee for the first time on the PGA Tour since the 2020 Charles Schwab Challenge -- the first start out of the COVID-19 restart. All signs point to him continuing his strong play in major championships at The Country Club. The last time the U.S. Open was in the Northeast, he finished in a tie for sixth in his championship debut. T5. Max Homa (-6): It was a "what-if" final round for the four-time winner on the PGA Tour as Homa was flawless for 16 holes. T5. Will Zalatoris (-6): A letdown at the Charles Schwab Challenge felt inevitable after his playoff loss at the PGA Championship. We will let that missed cut slide as Zalatoris' typically strong ball-striking returned at Muirfield Village and propelled him to a top-five finish. Still, it was another impressive outing on a difficult golf course for Homa, and he will now turn his attention to the U.S. Open. Having finished in a tie for 13th at the PGA Championship, maybe he has finally figured out major championships as they had previously been troublesome for him. T3. Joaquin Niemann (-7): Many will point to his double bogey on the par-4 14th as a sign of his around the green game still needing work, but I tend to disagree. There is motivation, there is momentum, and there is a real chance Horschel plays a factor at the U.S. Open at The Country Club in two weeks. Even last fall, Horschel arrived at the Tour Championship at 29th in the standings, started 10 strokes behind Patrick Cantlay and proceeded to claw his way to ninth-place by week's end. He has always been a player to thrive on momentum, but this triumph is markedly different from those in the past. A tight PGA Tour event turned into a relatively stress-free victory for Billy Horschel, who claimed the 2022 Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village by four strokes. "We didn't do that well the last two weeks [go through his process], and Fooch [caddie Mark Fulcher] and I just had a conversation after Colonial after we missed the cut last week," said Horschel, who claimed $2.2 million for his Memorial victory.

Billy Horschel shoots a final-round even-par 72 to win the Memorial Tournament by four strokes over Aaron Wise.

Billy Horschel never cracked on Sunday, holding off Aaron Wise to maintain a 4-shot win at the Memorial tournament.

But obviously you knew he was unbelievable at course management and how to plod his way around the course. With Nicklaus watching on, and Tiger Woods in the back of his mind, Horschel plodded his way around the course. Having a 5-shot lead and knowing this was sort of mine to win or lose, having them here for the first time, I really wanted to win so I could get the monkey off the back. We joke about it in the family — my wife and my kids have never been at any of my victories. It was a day of wild scoring, the not-so-good kind, at Muirfield Village for the final round of the Memorial tournament. Horschel largely cruised to victory at Muirfield Village, fluctuating between a two- and four-shot lead for much of Sunday afternoon.

6 Jun 2022 6 Jun 2022 - Like so many others on Tour, Horschel has made a chage to his driver shaft.

Horschel cobbled together a final-round even-par 72 at Muirfield Village Golf Club and was hardly pressed in winning the Memorial by four strokes over Aaron ...

So, it's special to have that video and those photos for the rest of our lives.” “It's sort of a running joke in our family that my wife and my kids have never been at victory,” Horschel said with a smile that exuded genuine satisfaction. “My wife has never wanted to fly in on a Saturday night when I've had a chance to win. That said, the Memorial was a major triumph, a wholly satisfying result that checked a personal box of accomplishment; it represented the first time Horschel had won with his wife Brittany and their three children present. If I'm going to win the golf tournaments … then I need to do a better job of it on a daily, weekly basis, especially when it comes to the bigger events.” Horschel spoke repeatedly the last two days about his readiness to win "bigger" events, meaning majors, but he knows he will have to overcome his own history—just one top-10 finish in 34 starts, that coming in the 2013 U.S. Open when he finished T-4 at Merion. “Obviously my major record is pretty abysmal. When we do that, it allows me to have a clearer picture and have a little bit more of a higher acceptance level over the golf shot.” Horschel entered the final round having not made a bogey for 44 holes and extended that streak five more before he overshot the green at the sixth and missed a 10-footer. That's one of those things, that's what you do when you win a tournament.” Making that was huge,” Horschel said, smiling about the most dramatic shot on what was an otherwise uneventful day. Last year he won the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play and the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth on the DP World Tour. DUBLIN, Ohio — The third round of a 72-hole tournament, otherwise known as Moving Day, usually has a significant impact on the outcome.

Billy Horschel says he's working on his patience as he surged out in front after 54 holes at the Memorial.

"Yes, I mean, Fooch has done an unbelievable job of trying to do the right things, and sometimes we just move a little too quick. "But I need to do a better job of it. "Sometimes I just want to get the golf shot over with. "Yeah, Fooch is great. I move very quick, and I'm impatient, and so I'm ready to go without always being clear on everything," he admitted after finishing his third round. The American is in search of his seventh PGA Tour win.

“But I need to do a better job of it. I’m sure I’m going to shock everyone when I say this. When we do that, it allows me to have a clearer picture and have a little bit more of a higher acceptance level over the golf shot.

Billy Horschel will take a five-shot lead over Aaron Wise and Cameron Smith into Sundays final day ofthe Memorial Tournament in Ohio.

I'm not going to be overly aggressive. "I'm not going to be protective. Just going out, trying to play a really good round of golf.

Still, if he slips at all there are plenty of big-time stars there to clean up the mess. Cameron Smith is in the mix. So are Patrick Cantlay, Rory McIlroy, ...

DUBLIN, Ohio – Billy Horschel won't begrudge you the memory if all you take away from his victory at the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday on Sunday ...

And it's great to have three wins in roughly the last 15 months.” “What I have seen, though, is he’s a lot quieter on the golf course now, especially in moments like today. As I was walking up, had a chance to make a putt to go into a playoff with Scottie Scheffler.” It just so happens the next U.S. Open, at The Country Club in Boston, is in two weeks. Not missing a cut since the U.S. Open was becoming too much of a story. Perversely, the missed cut at Colonial, and the ensuing meeting, prepared Horschel for winning. “I had a chance to win Bay Hill this year,” he continued. On a list of the hardest workers on the PGA TOUR, he puts himself in the top five. “I didn't have to do anything to do anything special out there. Maybe it's a bad thing.” His nearly 55-foot putt, curling from right to left, was a splendid stroke and extended his two-shot lead to four, the final margin as Horschel (72) bested Aaron Wise (71). “I think today, knowing the golf course, knowing how it was going to be fast and firm again, it was knowing the pin locations,” Horschel said.

Billy Horschel didn't buckle when his overnight lead dropped from five to two. He picked up the seventh of his PGA Tour career.

"Obviously I haven't played well in majors, which has been sort of a pet peeve of mine now for a while," said Horschel, who will move to No. 11 in the world golf rankings. And Horschel will revel in how he got the job done in the final round. And he and Fulcher never got flustered on the back nine. "I felt like I had a chance all the way up until about (Horschel's eagle on 15). You could kind of tell he could play the last three holes pretty safe. In winning for the seventh time on the PGA Tour, Horschel didn't buckle when his consecutive bogey-free streak ended at 50 holes on the sixth. Horschel has just one top-10 in 33 starts in majors. From time to time, he has overcome his lack of easing off the pedal and won six PGA Tour titles. "It was a great back and forth," Wise said. "When you have the lead, you don't have to do anything special. Horschel called Nicklaus Big Man as the two shook hands and thanks him profusely. "It's special," Horschel said. But Horschel held him off.

And so good, he says, is his process that “everyone has told me on my team for years, when I have that, I'm able to make better golf swings on a regular basis.” ...

If I’m going to win the golf tournaments I want to win, and I feel like I can win, then I need to do a better job of it on a daily, weekly basis, especially when it comes to the bigger events.” “Yes, I mean, Fooch has done an unbelievable job of trying to do the right things, and sometimes we just move a little too quick. “So usually even though I may be carrying on a conversation with somebody, I’m very aware of where my golf ball is, I’m very aware where the pin is, I’m very aware where I need to put the ball on the green and where I may need to miss it if I don’t hit a great golf shot,” he said. “That’s why sometimes when I get a number, I just grab a club right away and sort of have an idea of the shot I want to hit and then I go. “Sometimes I just want to get the golf shot over with. “Like I said, shocking. And that’s kind of it. And so it was with Horschel and caddie Mark Fulcher. We’ll jump ahead and tell you that they won this week, by an impressive four shots at Muirfield Village, no less, but it took a “conversation” to get there. Check the wind. Check the yardage. Though, as those of us who have gotten away from our own “processes” know, while the answers are easy to explain afterward, they aren’t necessarily in the moment. And missed the cut at the Charles Schwab Challenge last week.

A renegade golf tour announced its first field at the same time one of the PGA Tour's most loyal golfers, Billy Horschel, won big.

“But if you project where I’m at, I pretty much have a higher projection in the FedEx Cup if I play in smaller events and opposite field events, because I should be one of the best players there. So, if I play well there, I’ll be in the top five or give myself a chance to win. Following four long days and a T32 finish, he wrestled with the decision of what to do next. And I have to be aware where I am at the time. To those of us pressing our noses up to the glass of professional golf and looking inside, this can’t seem real. And they might watch Friday, too, and maybe Saturday. And maybe the first round when LIV comes stateside to Portland in a few weeks. It’s the mystique, the tradition, the challenge of beating the best on the biggest stage. One suggested a cost of as much as twice that of a typical PGA Tour stop such as Memorial. There will be everything from towers assembled all over the course, to multiple drones, to technology like shot tracer and a full-tilt broadcast team. Whether you’re a fan of his or not, you have to respect a guy who, at 35, has rediscovered the kind of form that had him unquestionably among the 20 current best players in the world nearly a decade ago. But at some point, it’s going to have to actually open the knife drawer and unsheathe whatever *actual plan* it’s going to move forward with. It was, for the moment, going to be a discernibly normal week at the 2022 Memorial Tournament. LIV Golf organizers released the list of participants for the inaugural Saudi Golf League event to be held in London starting June 9.
