Rory McIlroy had a strong start at the Memorial Tournament, sitting at 3-under par through 17 holes. However, he collapsed on the 18th hole, ultimately finishing even par for the day after a triple-bogey seven. Davis Riley leads at 5-under after the first day, while Matt Wallace sits alone in second place at 4-under.
The Valero Texas Open is taking place this week in San Antonio, and two players who could make solid top-20 options are Matt Wallace and Nicolai Højgaard. Wallace has a good profile for the course, with strong approach and iron play, and is positive on Bermuda greens. Højgaard is a long, accurate hitter off the tee and has gained at least seven strokes ball striking in three of his last five tournaments. Both players offer good value for a top-20 finish, with Wallace at +240 and Højgaard at +230.
Matt Wallace won the Corales Puntacana Championship, earning $684,000 and 300 FedExCup points. The 32-year-old golfer, who is a member of both the PGA Tour and DP World Tour, played the last 16 holes in bogey-free 7-under with seven birdies for a field-low-tying 66. Nicolai Højgaard of Denmark finished second, while Tyler Duncan and Sam Stevens shared third place.
