It’s Sunday at the Memorial Tournament and nobody forgot to tell the grounds crew. Muirfield Village director of grounds operations Chad Mark and his crew have worked tirelessly over the last two weeks to host eight PGA Tour rounds, and they’ve saved the best for last.
A downright sadistic pin sheet greets players who managed to trudge through the first 54 holes at Muirfield. But if the course setup has taught us anything this weekend, maintaining a score around par is likely to serve those in contention well.
Speaking of the leaderboard, Jon Rahm has been locked in all weekend at Muirfield Village, posting three rounds in the 60s en route to a four-stroke lead heading into the final round of play. Tony Finau and Ryan Palmer are tied for second at 8 under, while Jason Day and Patrick Cantlay (last year’s Memorial winner) round out the top 10.
But even if the grounds crew is looking to send off the Tour in style (read: leave a few players struggling to break 80), the final round at Muirfield Village is sure to deliver the sort of entertainment deserving of a tournament hosted by Jack Nicklaus.
Below is the winner’s share and payout information for the Memorial’s massive $9.3 million purse; you can watch all the action beginning at 1:00 p.m. ET on Golf Channel and continuing at 3:30 p.m. ET on CBS.
