Steve Stricker Won theMemorial by 1 Shot

Steve Stricker Won the Memorial by 1 Shot, and it was the tenth time for him to win in the PGA Tour.
During the competition, with a three-shot lead, Stricker had to spend more than two hours in the clubhouse waiting for the finish of the storm which retarded his play and left more than five holes uncompleted. 
Striker completed the front nine holes with 20-under par, including a 30 in the final round.
Stricker's play made the competition more interesting than it needed to be, especially after two hours' storm delay that slowed his momentum following a spectacular bunker save behind the 12th green. He saved par with a bunker shot behind the 12th hole which was his last hole before the delay.

Stricker was confronted with two clutch par putts down the stretch -- from 15 feet on No. 16 and from 7 feet on No. 17 -- and he poured them both in the center of the cup. On the final hole, Striker needed only a bogey to win, but he hit it into a fairway bunker and missed the green to the left. Finally, he chipped onto the top tier to 20 feet that locked up his first win of the year.He finished his final round with a 4-under 68, which let him won the competition with 1 shot ahead of Matt Kuchar and Brandt Jobe.
