DeChambeau said this week at the Memorial Tournament was the best he had putted since his US Amateur victory in 2015. So it was fitting that when he needed to hole a 10-footer for birdie to earn his second career US PGA Tour title in a playoff, he poured it in, defeating South Korea’s Byeong Hun An on the second extra hole.
Muirfield Village, the site of his first victory in 2014, proved to be the slump buster Matsuyama needed, as he carded a seven-under 65 highlighted by a five-hole stretch of six-under par on his final nine

In the midst of building an impressive resume, Spieth decided it was worth reaching out to the tournament officials at the HP Bryon Nelson Championship to inquire about something that at the time seemed a little audacious: Getting a spot in the field at a US PGA Tour event.
