Poston Claims Memorial, Avoids U.S. Open Qualifier

J.T. Poston capped off a dramatic Memorial Tournament with a playoff win, securing his fourth PGA Tour title and a coveted spot in the Open Championship—avoiding the brutal U.S. Open qualifier in the process. His clutch birdie on the final hole came after a grueling 31-hole marathon due to weather, while rival Ryan Gerard delivered a stunning 37-footer but settled for second. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, chasing history with a potential three-peat, fell short after a shaky start, finishing tied for 12th—but remains focused on Shinnecock Hills. Poston’s victory is a major confidence boost as he eyes the majors. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
