David Lingmerth has been in a couple of playoffs earlier than -- one on the PGA Tour and one at the Web.Com Tour. He lost them each.
Not so on Sunday. Many players were given into competition then fell away whilst mistakes were given the higher of them, but Lingmerth wasn't one in every of them. Starting the day with a three-stroke deficit at Jack's Place, he gradually worked his way up the leaderboard with a 3-underneath sixty nine to tie Justin Rose, the favourite select for plenty this week.
Rose turned into going for his 2d win in 5 starts but struggled to locate any consistency Sunday. It turned into his scrambling that kept him in the sport however even then, the pleasant he ought to control became a par spherical. The two guys found themselves in a playoff, and Rose was hoping that his short sport would take him only a little farther.
Alas, it became no longer supposed to be. On the 1/3 playoff hole Rose put his ball behind a tree wherein no longer even his sharp short recreation should help him. But their three-hole playoff changed into the longest in Memorial history... And it ended Lingmerth's playoff woes.
