Three trophies were handed out Sunday and all three matter to your card. Here is what happened and how to use it heading into a Canadian Open week that doubles as U.S. Open prep.

Top 3 Stories

1. Poston survives a marathon Sunday to win the Memorial

A rain-wrecked weekend forced 33 holes into Sunday at Muirfield Village, and J.T. Poston outlasted everyone, beating Ryan Gerard on the second playoff hole after both finished regulation at 12-under 276. Poston forced extra holes with a clutch birdie at the 72nd, then made par on the par-4 18th when Gerard could not match. Wyndham Clark finished one out of the playoff at 11-under, with Tommy Fleetwood and Sam Burns tied for fourth at 10-under. It is Poston's fourth career PGA Tour title and a $4 million payday from the $20 million signature purse. Source: PGA Tour.

2. Korda completes the major double at Riviera

Nelly Korda closed out the 81st U.S. Women's Open at 8-under 276, holing a late birdie and a wobbling par putt on the 72nd to hold off Charley Hull and Gaby Lopez, who tied for second at 7-under. In Gee Chun finished solo fourth at 6-under and Sei Young Kim, Korda's 54-hole co-leader, faded to fifth at 5-under. It is Korda's fourth career major and her second major of the 2026 season, cementing her grip on World No. 1. Source: Golf News Net, NBC Sports.

3. Hatton beats Rahm on home soil at Valderrama

A new father returning from a layoff, Tyrrell Hatton closed with a 1-under 71 to win LIV Golf Andalucia at brutal Real Club Valderrama at 11-under 273, two clear of teammate and Spaniard Jon Rahm (9-under). Abraham Ancer was solo third at 8-under and Sergio Garcia fourth at 7-under. Rahm's Legion XIII still took the team competition. Source: ESPN.

This Week's Tournament Read

RBC Canadian Open — TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley (North Course), Caledon, Ont. (Thu–Sun, June 11–14). Year two at this Doug Carrick design, reworked by Ian Andrew for tour play: a par-70 stretching to roughly 7,389 yards with repositioned bunkers, wider corridors off the tee and large bentgrass/poa greens (~6,500 sq ft). It is the last full-field stop before the U.S. Open at Shinnecock, so a chunk of the field is in tune-up mode for a $9.8M purse. In the 2025 inaugural, Ryan Fox beat Sam Burns in a playoff at 18-under, leading the field in approach play while merely avoiding putting disasters — a tell that this venue rewards elite irons more than raw distance.

Trending:

• Up – Tommy Fleetwood: a T4 at the Memorial keeps his ball-striking humming into a course that prizes exactly that. A co-favorite for good reason.
• Up – Taylor Pendrith: big-hitting Canadian with a tee-to-green profile that fits the long par-4s, plus crowd energy at his national open.
• Watch – Max Greyserman: a strong-putting near-winner type trending up over recent starts; a value name on a birdie-friendly setup if the flat-stick warms. Source: Mayo Media.

1. Matt Fitzpatrick  +1175
2. Tommy Fleetwood  +1250
3. Sam Burns  +1275
4. Collin Morikawa  +2250

Flag: this is a tightly bunched board with three names inside +1300 and no clear chalk — a wide-open national open. Note Morikawa at +2250 carries withdrawal risk (see Player Movement) that the price does not yet reflect. VegasInsider and ESPN odds pages were unavailable at check time, so prices are sourced from DraftKings (June 7). No prior RBC board to compare for line movement — this is the opening read.

Key Stats — What Wins at TPC Toronto

Four categories that best predict success on this par-70 (house analysis; course detail via Mayo Media):

1. SG: Approach (long-iron prox, 175+ yds) — par-4s average ~459 yards, so mid-to-long approaches dominate; Fox won 2025 by leading the field in approach.
2. Par-4 Birdie-or-Better % — a par-70 means 12 par-4s carry the scorecard; the event is won by converting the gettable ones, not the par-5s.
3. SG: Off-the-Tee — repositioned bunkers and length reward players who pair distance with a tee shot they can place; position sets up the long second shots.
4. SG: Putting on Bentgrass (10–20 ft) — big greens mean longer first putts and more mid-range looks; Fox showed you only need a non-disaster flat stick, so a hot mid-range putter separates contenders.

Comp Courses

House analysis — venues that play similarly in length, agronomy and scoring:

• TPC Twin Cities (3M Open) — long, modern bentgrass parkland with big greens and a birdie-fest ceiling; the closest profile match for both scoring and approach demands.
• Detroit Golf Club (Rocket Mortgage) — low-scoring parkland that rewards iron play and putting over driving accuracy; mirrors the "make a lot of birdies through your irons" path here.
• TPC Deere Run (John Deere Classic) — approach-and-putt birdie sprint where elite ball-strikers separate; a strong read-through for fit.

Value signal: players who post repeat top-10s at those low-scoring ball-striker tracks — precise iron players who make birdies in bunches rather than pure bombers — are the profile to target this week.

Under the Radar

• The Morikawa salary trap. Daily and weekly DFS pricing will list Collin Morikawa as a premium play, but with his wife due to give birth he is a genuine game-time scratch risk. Build a pivot before lock and do not anchor a single-entry lineup to him — a late withdrawal zeroes you. Source: Mayo Media.
• Chacarra is quietly stacking DP World wins. Eugenio Chacarra birdied the 72nd to win the KLM Open at 11-under, one clear of Oliver Lindell — his second DP World Tour title in as many seasons. A former LIV player now compounding form on the European circuit is exactly the trend models lag; track him on next week's DP World board before the market catches up. Source: Golf News Net, ESPN.
• Korn Ferry blowout worth a bookmark. Ben Kohles ran away with the BMW Charity Pro-Am at 15-under, four clear of the field — the kind of dominant week that flags a player climbing the points list toward a PGA Tour card. Worth tracking for KFT betting and future call-up value. Source: PGA Tour.
