Poston’s Playoff Triumph at Memorial

J.T. Poston pulled off a gutsy, marathon victory at the Memorial, surviving a nail-biting playoff to claim his biggest win yet—after losing a four-shot lead and sinking a clutch seven-footer on the final hole. He then sealed it with Ryan Gerard’s missed par putt on the second extra hole, completing a 33-hole Sunday that included the third round and playoff. Poston, who hadn’t cracked the top 20 in 13 tournaments this year, called it “a lot of holes, a lot of grit,” and honored tournament host Jack Nicklaus with a handshake. The win also locked him into the next three majors, skipping qualifying. Behind him, a thrilling scramble unfolded: Tommy Fleetwood nearly pulled off an eagle, Wyndham Clark made a late surge, and Sam Burns’ shot landed on a bridge, costing him a playoff spot. Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy both finished tied for 12th, while Saturday’s storms added to the drama of an unforgettable day.
