David Lingmerth beat Justin Rose in a playoff for victory at the Memorial Tournament in Ohio. The win ended a run of two playoff defeats dating back to 2013 and moved him up to 28th in the FedEx Cup standings.
Starting the day three behind Rose, the Swede worked his way in to a position where a 10 foot birdie putt on the 18th would have led to victory in regulation. It missed just right but it still took a heroic up and down on the same hole for Rose to work his way in to the play-off.
Both players went back and forth for two holes until Lingmerth pipped Rose on the third to walk away with victory. Next up for the Swede is a 36 hole US Open qualifier starting today.
