Not only the golf course, but there is something even more attractive for the players – the prize money. The amount falls under the top 10 PGA Tour events.

Who is the leader after the first round at the Memorial Tournament 2022?
Round one went on without any sort of weather delay, and it looks like the rest of the week is going to be great as well. Everything went well until Hideki Matsuyama got disqualified for using a club that appeared to give him a sort of unfair advantage over others.
