The Memorial Tournament Live Updates And Leaderboard: JT Poston And Ryan Gerard In Playoff To Win Signature Event

BOTH MAKE PAR ON FIRST EXTRA HOLE

Ryan Gerard with a birdie putt that could very well change his life. It's a long one, though. The crowd is silent as he putts, and the speed is good. He makes his par and now Poston has the chance to win it without heading back to the 18th tee box.

Poston is potentially a putt from his fourth PGA Tour win. He's had a rollercoaster day. He putts and it goes high! We'll play 18 all over again...

ADVANTAGE POSTON

Gerard is first to go with his approach. He's towards the left of the fairway. It's an 8-iron, and on it goes to the green, before rolling back a few feet. That'll leave a long birdie chance.

Now Poston. He has a 7-iron, 169 between him and the pin. And that's much closer... Maybe 10 feet or so to win it from there.

BOTH CONFIDENT OFF THE TEE

Poston is first and finds the fairway right. That's OK. Now Gerard. That's also on the fairway and there's basically nothing between them.

BACK TO 18TH FOR PLAYOFF

Poston and Gerard head back to the 18th, a par-4. I don't know about them, but I feel like I've been through the wringer several times over the last few hours and I'm just watching it! Let's see what other twists this incredible final round has in store...

JT POSTON AND RYAN GERARD HEAD TO PLAYOFF!

Gerard's birdie putt has a little too much pace for comfort. It goes by and that'll be a nervy one coming back...

Sam Burns with a birdie putt next... and it stays out by a tiny margin! That's his chance done as he finishes with par for a -10.

Now Poston for a birdie chance and the co-lead. He makes it! Now the pressure is on Gerard, and he holds his nerve admirably to make his par. We have a playoff!

CAREER-DEFINING HOLE FOR GERARD

Currently, Ryan Gerard has one PGA Tour win - the 2025 Barracuda Championship. Now just one hole stands between him and one of the biggest of the lot.

Can he hold his nerve and win the Memorial Tournament? We'll know in a few short minutes.

His second leaves him 39 feet for birdie.

STILL HOPE FOR CLARK

Wyndham Clark is next. He makes his par at 18 to get in at -11. Now he hopes for a Gerard bogey on 18 to reach a playoff.

NOT TO BE FOR TOMMY FLEETWOOD

At 18, Tommy Fleetwood needs a birdie to stand a chance but his birdie putt misses and that's his chance over.

RYAN GERARD TAKE SOLO LEAD!

Ryan Gerard produces a stunning long birdie putt at 17 and now he leads by one!

WORRYING MOMENT FOR BURNS AT 17

Sam Burns appears to be in bother at the 17th. His second seems perilously close to the water, but is it safe? We'll know more soon...

Well, would you believe it? The ball stopped on a bridge!

He now has a choice. Take a penalty or play it off the bridge. He opts for the latter and it finds the green, albeit leaving a long par putt.

He almost makes it, too, but it's a whisker away from dropping! It's a bogey for Burns and now there are three at the top.

SCHEFFLER MAGIC

Meanwhile, further down the leaderboard, here's Scottie Scheffler with an incredible up-and-down from earlier...

TOMMY IN TROUBLE AT 17

Tommy Fleetwood is in some trouble at 17. His first finds the rough left by a fairway bunker, and his second isn't any better, into the right rough with over 90 yards still to go at the par-4.

Now his third. It's a brutal lie... and into a greenside bunker. He gets close to holing it from there, but doesn't and that's a bogey. He drops out of the tie for the lead at one of the worst possible times.

FITTING FOR 50TH

This has turned into quite the occasion for a special anniversary of the Memorial Tournament - it's 50th. Could we really be heading to a five-way playoff? With holes running out, it's a distinct possibility.

FINAL GROUP AT 16

Sam Burns has a long, long birdie putt at 16 to take the lead. It has a little too much speed, but you'd back him to make his par.

Next up is Poston from a slightly shorter distance. It's closer and that absolutely will be a par.

The last of the final group with a birdie chance at 16 is Gerard. Can he take advantage and seize the initiative? It's another lengthy one - and it drifts past too.

All three make par and we move onto the 17th.

CLARK MAKES IT FIVE AT THE TOP!

Wyndham Clark joins the party at the top of the leaderboard, which now extends to five, with his second consecutive birdie, at the 16th. It's anyone's guess which way this one will go!

FOUR TIED AT THE TOP!

At the same hole Tommy Fleetwood converted the eagle putt to give him the lead, Sam Burns has his own chance to do the same and take the solo lead.

It goes right, though, but his birdie looks assured.

Before that, playing partner Ryan Gerard shows him how it's done with a birdie to tie the lead, as does the last of the three in the group, Poston, before Sam follows suit. Four tied at the top!

TOMMY ON TOP

What a turnaround we have here. After Wyndham Clark gets himself into a tie for the lead with JT Poston, Sam Burns and Ryan Gerard, Tommy Fleetwood converts his eagle attempt at the 15th to take the solo lead! Could he be poised to win his second PGA Tour title?

FOUR TIED AT THE TOP!

Wyndham Clark birdies the 15th and there's a four-way tie at the top!

WOW, TOMMY FLEETWOOD!

Tommy Fleetwood might be about to blow open the Memorial Tournament leaderboard. The Englishman is on nine-under, one back of co-leaders Ryan Gerard, Sam Burns and JT Poston, but a brilliant approach from 240 yards at the par-5 15th leaves him within five feet of an eagle!

BRILLIANT FROM POSTON

You simply have to hand it to JT Poston. After leaving an 18-foot birdie putt at the 14th, he rolls it in as though he's not just frittered away a four-shot lead in the previous 13 holes.

That brings him back into a tie for the lead at -10 and maybe it will kickstart his challenge.

NICELY PLAYED, JT

A gap wedge for JT Poston at 14 is the choice for his approach, and that's good enough. He finds the green, rather than the blue of the stream, and he should make at least a par from here.

SAM GETS LUCKY

At 14, Sam Burns almost finds the water with his tee shot, but it stays up. It may look serene, but Muirfield Village isn't done showing its teeth just yet...

POSTON LOSING GRIP

Poston's poor final round continues with another bogey at the 13th when his missable par putt does just that. He's now T2 having led by four just a few hours ago.

ERRATIC POSTON

JT Poston is taking the scenic route to the green at 13. After his tee shot landed near a tree, his second is inches from a greenside bunker, leaving him standing in it as he prepares for his third.

The result isn't too bad, but it's hardly a gimme for his par putt.

Soon after, Ryan Gerard has a long birdie chance to tie the lead at the same hole, but it drifts right.

BURNS MISSTEPS AT 13

At 13, Sam Burns's approach lands on the green but well short of the pin. To make matters worse, it catches an undulation and rolls even further back.

POSTON WOBBLING

After losing his outright lead of four within the first 12 holes of the final round, you get the feeling JT Poston could do with a good tee shot at 13 to settle the nerves.

It doesn't happen though, his ball flying right and towards some trees...

BOGEY FOR POSTON!

At the same hole Gerard saves par, there's no such joy for Poston with another bogey to move into a tie for the lead at 10 under. He's thrown away a four-shot lead in the final round...

GERARD OUT OF TROUBLE AT 12

Ryan Gerard eyes a gigantic birdie putt at 12 which would draw him level with Poston at the top of the leaderboard. It runs out of steam well short, though, and he may even struggle to make a par from there...

I needn't have worried. He rolls it into the center of the cup and he remains T2.

SETBACK FOR WYNDHAM

Immediately after dragging himself into a tie for second with a birdie at 11, Wyndham Clark has a setback with a bogey at 12.

CLASSY, RORY!

Rory McIlroy isn't doing enough to earn his maiden Memorial Tournament title, but he's still proving he's a class act. Here he is handing a young fan a memento of her visit to Muirfield Village.

GERARD UP TO T2

We now have three in pursuit of Poston just one behind at 10 under. Ryan Gerard joins Sam Burns and Wyndham Clark with a nice birdie putt at the 11th.

Moments later, at the same hole, Poston maintains his advantage with par.

MISSED CHANCE FOR BURNS?

Sam Burns finds himself in the rough at the par-5 11th. It's a great opportunity for a birdie if he can do something with his third here...

It barely makes it onto the green though, and now it looks more likely he'll have to settle for a par.

TOMMY AND WYNDHAM IN THE MIX

Tommy Fleetwood cranks the pressure up on Poston just a little more with a birdie at 11 to take him to -9, just two behind.

Playing partner Wyndham Clark also birdies 11 to move to -10.

BURNS RUNNING HOT

While Poston went one over on the front nine, including a bogey thanks to a lip-out at the ninth, Burns has been piling the pressure on.

He made three birdies to close the gap to one at 10 under. Others in contention include Wyndham Clark and Ryan Gerard.

WELCOME

Welcome to our coverage of the closing holes of the Memorial Tournament, where we look set for an exciting finish.

That's largely because leader JT Poston has wobbled in the final round, with his four-shot lead heading into it whittled down to just one by Sam Burns.

The leader's at the 10th. Let's see how the next few hours plays out...
