DUBLIN, Ohio – Billy Horschel ended any doubt about his victory at Muirfield Village with an eagle putt from one end of the green to the other on the 15th hole, sending him to a four-shot victory Sunday at the Memorial Tournament.
Horschel was staked to a five-shot lead at the start of a sun-soaked final round, and no one ever got closer than two shots. He closed with an even-par 72.
There still a few nervous moments.
Horschel’s streak of 49 consecutive holes without a bogey ended on the sixth hole. He didn’t make his first birdie until the 10th hole.
