JT Poston claimed the biggest win of his career by beating Ryan Gerard in a play-off to clinch the Memorial Tournament in Ohio.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poston, who held a four-stroke lead after a\u00a0weather-disrupted third round,\u00a0made a birdie on the final hole to card an even-par 72 in the fourth round and finish on 12 under alongside fellow American Gerard at Muirfield Village in Dublin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both missed birdie putts on the first play-off hole, but Poston made no mistake with his putt on the second to secure his fourth title on the PGA Tour and a spot at next month’s Open Championship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poston, 33, squandered his advantage thanks to four bogeys in the first 13 holes, with England’s Tommy Fleetwood briefly taking the lead on the 15th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Fleetwood bogeyed the 17th and finished in a tie for fourth with American Sam Burns on 10 under par, while Wyndham Clark, who shot a 67, was third.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

American world number one Scottie Scheffler, aiming to equal Tiger Woods’ record of winning three consecutive titles, finished 12th alongside England’s Justin Rose and Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Play was suspended on Saturday because of thunderstorms, with the third round concluding on Sunday morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poston, who was tied at nine under with Gerard on the sixth green when play was halted, moved to 12 under, with Gerard four shots back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Burns was third on seven under, with Fleetwood and Clark – on six under – completing the top five after three rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
