World number one Scottie Scheffler emulated Tiger Woods by successfully defending the Memorial Tournament title at Muirfield Village.
Only five-time winner Woods had previously retained the crown between 1999 and 2001, but Scheffler claimed a second consecutive success with a four-stroke victory over Ben Griffin.
Shane Lowry dropped down the leaderboard for a share of 23rd place with a disappointing 77.
Lowry had started the tournament well and a first round 69 left him in a tie for fourth after the first day’s play, but that was as good as it got for the Irishman.
His final round featured three bogeys, a double bogey and a triple bogey on the par-4 ninth hole as he tumbled down the leaderboard.
Scheffler meanwhile has won three times in four starts after wins at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson and PGA Championship.
“It’s pretty cool,” Scheffler told CBS Sports after his 16th PGA Tour victory.
“It’s always a hard week as it’s so challenging to play this tournament.
“I battled really hard over the weekend and Ben made things interesting down the stretch, but overall it was a great week.”
Scheffler took a one-shot lead into Sunday and the chasing pack failed to put him under any concerted pressure.
Birdies at the seventh, 11th and 15th gave Scheffler breathing space in a final round two-under par 70, with a solitary dropped shot coming at the 10th – his first bogey in 32 holes.
Griffin closed with a 73 to finish one ahead of Austria’s Sepp Straka, with Nick Taylor a shot back in fourth.
England’s Tommy Fleetwood was tied 16th and Scotland’s Robert MacIntyre tied 20th.
Rickie Fowler secured his place at next month’s Open Championship at Royal Portrush after finishing joint seventh, his best performance of the season.
The 36-year-old American, who is not in the field for next week’s US Open, claimed the one spot available for a top-10 finish for players not already exempt as his superior world ranking meant he superseded Brandt Snedeker, with whom he tied.
