Another close call for F. Molinari at the Memorial

DUBLIN, Ohio – Francesco Molinari played well under the final-round spotlight at the Memorial – but there’s one shot he would like to have back.

Molinari started the day three shots behind Justin Rose, but after three straight birdies on Nos. 3-5 he made the turn with a two-shot lead. He still had a share of the lead heading to the par-3 16th hole, where he pulled his tee shot into the water. It led to a double bogey, and effectively ended his chances.

“I think the shot at 16 will stay in my mind for a while,” Molinari said.
