DUBLIN, Ohio (Reuters) - Unheralded Swede David Lingmerth, ranked 212th in the world, took down world number six Justin Rose in a playoff to claim the Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village on Sunday.
Lingmerth won for the first time on the PGA Tour after a par on the third sudden death playoff hole was enough to outduel 2013 U.S. Open champion Rose.
“I can’t believe it right now I am so happy,” Lingmerth said.
