Thursday Night Recap - The Memorial Tournament

Hello members,

First, before we get to the round today, The Masters tickets application is now open. This is your reminder. Website is tickets.masters.com and if you get chosen, I’ll gladly be your plus one.

We are only ~7 weeks away from The Masters regretting to inform me that my application for tickets has not been selected.
A tradition unlike any other.

Okay back to The Memorial - scores were pretty muted today for the most part. Muirfield is gritting its teeth and has been a great challenge so far.

Davis Riley fired a 5-under 67, Matt Wallace shot 4-under 68, and seven players shot 3-under, including Jordan Spieth, Shane Lowry, and Danny Willett.

Scottie Scheffler struggled a bit today on the greens. Tee-to-green is the dang near the top in the world, if not the top, but putting is his weakness currently. He ended with a 2-over 74 and will need some birdies tomorrow to make the cut.

Speaking of struggling, defending champion, Billy Horschel, shot a 12-over 84. Yikes.

Jon Rahm shot a solid 2-under today and is currently the Vegas favorite at +450.

Looking forward to some more golf at the incredible Muirfield Village tomorrow!

In 2016, Rory wanted to literally change the rules to allow non European Tour members playing on the PGA Tour, to make the Ryder Cup team.
“It should be the best 12 players from Europe versus the best 12 players from the US.”
Now, he wants all European players playing on LIV… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
