Japan’s Hideki Matsuyama won the Memorial Tournament in a play-off with Kevin Na after a dramatic final day at Muirfield Village.
Na was in early at 13 under after a superb eight-under-par 64 and waited for around 90 minutes while the other leading challengers fell apart on the closing stretch.
Overnight leader Bubba Watson dropped out of contention altogether after shedding three shots on the 14th and 15th holes of the Jack Nicklaus-designed course.
Matsuyama almost followed, requiring birdie at the last – after breaking his driver – to finish alongside Na and force a play-off.
Both players made a terrible mess of the extra hole, with Matsuyama’s tee-shot – with a wood, having not replaced the damaged club – finding sand before Na drove into the creek on the left of the fairway.
Na then missed right while Matsuyama struck a spectator on the other side, but the Japanese player produced a superb flop on and holed out for par and victory.
The 22-year-old told Sky Sports 4: “I’m just happy.
“This is a dream come true to win at Mr Nicklaus’ golf course, it couldn’t be better.”
