The tournament, held at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio, is one of the most prestigious events on the PGA TOUR calendar. This year’s edition featured a competitive field vying for a share of the \$20 million purse.
Lee Hodges, a former Alabama standout, finished the tournament tied for 45th place with a total score of +10. His rounds of 71, 74, and 80 reflected the challenging conditions presented by the course and the field. Despite not contending for the title, Hodges’ participation in the tournament underscores his continued presence on the PGA TOUR and his ability to compete at the highest level.
Andrew Putnam, another former Crimson Tide golfer, also concluded the tournament tied for 45th place with a score of +10. His rounds of 74, 71, and 79 demonstrated his consistent play throughout the event. Putnam’s performance at the Memorial Tournament adds to his growing resume on the PGA TOUR and highlights his potential for future success.
Eric Cole, the third Alabama alumnus in the field, finished tied for 45th with a score of +10. His rounds of 73, 70, and 77 showcased his competitive spirit and skill set.
