Cantlay canters to Memorial Tournament titleBy THE MANILA TIMEShome/Sports/Golf/Cantlay canters to Memorial Tournament titleWASHINGTON: Patrick Cantlay powered to an eight-under par 64 on Sunday (Monday in Manila) to claim his second US PGA Tour title at the Memorial by two strokes from Australian Adam Scott. Cantlay, 27, went into the final round four strokes behind overnight leader Martin Kaymer whose bid to end a near five-year victory drought faded with a final round 72 that left him in third place. Cantlay’s bogey-free effort was the best final round by a winner in the history of the Jack Nicklaus-hosted tournament at Muirfield Village in Dublin, Ohio. Scott, like Kaymer a former world number one seeking to end an extended winless run, continued his recent resurgence with a final round 68 that left him on 17-under 271. Woods was charging with seven birdies in his first 12 holes, backing up just a bit with bogeys at 14 and 18.
