2026 Memorial Tournament leaderboard: Tommy Fleetwood in front early as Rory McIlroy bounces back
The Englishman sits atop the pack with two recent U.S. Open champions

On a golf course that holds similarities to U.S. Open setups, it may come as no surprise to see a pair of recent U.S. Open champions atop the leaderboard at the 2026 Memorial Tournament. In his first start since his first win of the season, Wyndham Clark climbed to 5 under in the first round at Jack’s Place, a score that was matched by J.J. Spaun, Tommy Fleetwood and Ryan Gerard.

“The golf course is so demanding,” Clark said. “I think I made three saves by chipping out and having a hundred yards in. That’s what happens at this golf course. You hit it in the rough, and you really can’t advance it, so you got to be patient and take your medicine and hope you get up-and-down from a hundred yards, and I did that a couple times. And then you start hitting some good shots, and you make some putts, and it turns into a good round.”

Clark’s round marks his first in a signature event this season, as the 2023 U.S. Open champion was on the outside looking in until his win at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson. That has not been the case for Fleetwood, who was a fixture on the leaderboards in these tournaments in the early stage of the season, only to see a slight dip in form across the last couple of months.

Still, the Englishman was able to manage his game effectively on Thursday, even with hitting just seven greens in regulation (and remaining bogey-free in the process). Spaun continued his stellar form from last week’s Charles Schwab Challenge, where he contended, as did Gerard, who made five straight birdies at one point in his back nine and seeks his second PGA Tour title after being in the final grouping Sunday at Colonial.

“I think you can separate yourself a little bit more in terms of ball striking at some of the more difficult golf courses, which I think is awesome,” Gerard said. “Sometimes, they get maybe a little bit so difficult that you’re bordering on the edge of ridiculousness. We’re not there yet, but it’s playing difficult, it’s playing firm, it’s playing fair, but if it continues like this, it could get really, really difficult by Saturday. So it should be a fun test, but just going to try and keep the ball in front of us.”

Much to the tournament host’s delight, Muirfield Village played more than a full stroke over par in Round 1. Rory McIlroy looked like he was on his way to shooting past that number when he found the water on No. 3 en route to a double bogey, but the Masters champion was able to battle back to get in at 1 under.

“I think just understanding that there’s 69 more holes to go in the golf tournament and there’s a long way to go and a lot of things can happen,” McIlroy said. “I’ve made plenty of double bogeys in my career, and I’ve made plenty of double bogeys in tournaments that I’ve won. So you play enough events, you learn to ride the highs and the lows and not get too excited or too down either way.”

Two-time defending champion Scottie Scheffler turned in 2 under in the afternoon but played his back nine in 3 over to shoot 73. The world No. 1 was without his best stuff with the full swing as he hit just seven greens in regulation and found the water on the par-3 16th, leading to a double bogey and some words with his bagman, Ted Scott.

Leaders

T1. Wyndham Clark, J.J. Spaun, Tommy Fleetwood, Ryan Gerard (-5)

Even though Clark just won a golf tournament at 30 under, he is part of this quartet of leaders that seems to have an inkling for those more difficult golf courses. Clark, Spaun and Gerard all ranked inside the top six in strokes gained approach with Gerard leading the way on the greens as well; he continues to look more comfortable with his putter in hand.

To no surprise, Fleetwood topped the field in strokes gained around the green as he was successful in getting his ball up-and-down 11 out of 11 times. While each player was superb in their own respective areas, it seems like the area between the ears will prove to be the ultimate separator by week’s end.

“I thought I did well between the ears today,” Spaun said. “The game’s felt really good for a while now, so I would say kind of when I gave some back on 11 and 12, I could have probably let that round go. But just kind of hung in there.”

Q. Why is this a hard test and why do you like it?

Contenders

5. Nick Taylor (-4)
T6. Justin Rose, Sam Burns (-3)
T8. Ryan Fox, J.T. Poston, Shane Lowry, Tony Finau, Patrick Cantlay (-2)

While greens were difficult to hit, Rose had no issues. The former world No. 1 found 15 greens in regulation while splitting 10 of 14 fairways on the day. This comes after an eyebrow-raising equipment change at the Cadillac Championship that left some scratching their heads. After poor showings at Doral and Quail Hollow Club, Rose has resurrected his iron play. The resurgence with his scoring clubs led to a top-10 finish at the PGA Championship and could lead him to his second win at Muirfield Village and his second win of the season.

A career worst amid a career year

Three of Alex Smalley’s last five tournaments have seen him finish on the podium as the smooth swinger has elevated his status in the game to a whole new level. Unfortunately for Smalley, that run may come to an end after he opened his Memorial with an 11-over 83. The round marked not only the worst of his entire (!) career but also the third-worst of any player on the PGA Tour this season, relative to strokes gained. Smalley pencilled more sixes (four) than threes (two) in addition to five 5s onto his scorecard while being shutout in the birdie category.

Alex Smalley shot an 83 today, losing 10.2 strokes to the field. It was the worst round of his career (474 rounds).

It’s also the third worst round of any player on TOUR this season. pic.twitter.com/0aTiHd45o1

Odds via DraftKings Sportsbook

Tommy Fleetwood: 6-1

J.J. Spaun: 8-1

Scottie Scheffler: 17/2

Wyndham Clark: 11-1

Rory McIlroy: 12-1

Ryan Gerard: 14-1

Ludvig Åberg: 16-1

Patrick Cantlay: 17-1

Justin Rose: 19-1

Sam Burns: 19-1

Nick Taylor: 21-1

There are two horses that I fancied at the onset of the week that I still like after 18 holes: Rose at 19-1 and Xander Schauffele at 25-1 following his opening round of even par. Rose’s swing looked as fluid as it has all season long while leaving some strokes out there on the greens. Meanwhile, Schauffele hung tough without his best stuff and remains just five strokes off the pace.

Seth Jarvis scores in overtime, Carolina beats Vegas in Game 2 to tie Stanley Cup Final

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) Seth Jarvis scored on a power play in overtime after Carolina erased a deficit in regulation only to gave up a late tying goal, and the Carolina Hurricanes beat the Vegas Golden Knights 4-3 in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final on Thursday night to the series.

Jarvis’ heroics 3:56 into OT came after a thrilling third period that included four goals being scored and another getting called off because of goaltender interference.

“It was lot,” said Jarvis, who scored for just the fourth time this playoffs. “We did a great job controlling our emotions. We never got too high, never got too low. Just kept responding, and that’s what I love about this group is we always bounce back.”

Game 3 is Saturday in Las Vegas. There is now a guarantee the series will return to Raleigh for a Game 5 next week.

That did not look anything close to certain when Hurricanes had almost nothing going for the first 45 minutes, falling behind by two goals as the Golden Knights took advantage of a couple of scoring chances and locked down defensively. A couple of strong shifts in the offensive zone just before the midway point of the third brought the crowd back to life because the Hurricanes were buzzing.

“The building is a tough building to play in when it gets going,” captain Jordan Staal said. “Obviously, we just needed a spark.”

Logan Stankoven, one of the team’s best players this spring, provided he. Stankoven made a terrific individual effort to get them on the board, taking the puck away from Rasmus Andersson, going to the net and banking a shot off Jeremy Lauzon and in with 9:40 remaining in regulation.

Less than three minutes later, Mark Jankowski fired a shot past Carter Hart to tie it, flipping the script from Game 1, when Vegas erased a multigoal deficit and won. This is the first time each of the first two games of a Cup final featured a team falling behind by more than a goal and winning.

“Stanky did a great job getting it going and Janks with a great shot, and it just carried on from there,” Jarvis said.

A big decision by Vegas coach John Tortorella with five minutes left paved the way for it to happen.

Frederik Andersen initially went full extension to deny Ivan Barbashev with the paddle of his stick, and a scrum ensued in the crease that ended with the puck eventually in the net. Referee Jean Hebert waved it off immediately, saying Andersen was pushed into the net and ruling it was goaltender interference.

“I saw a loose puck in front of Freddie,” Tortorella said. “Our player stabbed it, didn’t move the goalie and it goes through him into the other side. I’d challenge it 10 out of 10 times.”

Tortorella after some deliberation opted to use his coach’s challenge, and the on-ice officials in consultation with the NHL’s situation room confirmed the call on the ice stood.

“The ruling on the play was goaltender interference,” executive vice president and director of officiating Stephen Walkom told a pool reporter. “He waved it (off) immediately. He believed that it was under the goalie, and the Vegas player went after the puck and interfered with the goalie and his ability to freeze the puck and waived it off immediately.”

The punishment for a failed challenge is a 2-minute minor penalty. The Hurricanes went on the power play, where they had been so ineffective all night and most of the playoffs.

Not this time. Staal redirected Shayne Gostisbehere’s point shot in on the power play. with 4:35 left in regulation.

The Hurricanes killed off a penalty in the intervening time before allowing Stone to tie it with 1:21 left at 6 on 5 with Hart pulled for an extra skater. Carolina defenseman Jaccob Slavin actually knocked the puck into his own net on the play.

Eearly in overtime, Tomas Hertl tripped Staal to put Carolina back on the power play. That allowed Jarvis to score just Carolina’s ninth power play goal of the playoffs.

“That’s a step in the right direction,” Jarvis said. “Our power play found our groove tonight. It started with Jordo in the third, and there just making the right plays, playing smart and being aggressive and it worked out.”

Instead of Vegas going home looking to move to the verge of a second championship in nine years of existence, the series is all square, despite Hart making some big saves and Brett Howden scoring his playoff-leading 12th and 13th goals.

Asked what changed, a tight-lipped Tortorella said: “I have my thoughts. I’m not discussing it here.”

Money Line

Picked Jun 4 @ 6:24 pm, 1 unit on DraftKings

LOSS

I came into this series thinking Carolina was going to be able to get to their game faster than Vegas; that held true for all of 20 minutes. The 2nd and 3rd period were lopsided in favor of Vegas as they beat Carolina at their own game winning puck battles, forcing turnovers on the forecheck, and playing a puck possession game. Honestly? I think that can happen again tonight and I show value at +130 or better in this spot. Vegas has already proven they’re not content to merely take 1 on the road and feel like the “desperation” is being over compensated for in this spot. Give us the dog as VGK take it back to T-Mobile up 2-0

Todd’s Pick

Under 6-118

Over / Under

Picked Jun 3 @ 10:27 pm, 1 unit on BetMGM

LOSS

Getting this total at six is a bit of an overreaction to Game 1’s 5-4 score. Carolina has allowed more than two goals just twice in 14 playoff games, and both of those came in the first game of a series after a layoff. I also expect Canes’ goaltender Frederik Anderson to get back into form after a rare off night where he allowed five goals on 23 shots. I see more of a low-scoring grinder on Thursday between the two top defenses in the playoffs.

Ketel Marte hits solo homer in 9th, Diamondbacks rally after scary collision to beat Dodgers 3-2

PHOENIX (AP) Ketel Marte hit a solo homer in the ninth inning and the Arizona Diamondbacks rallied after a hard collision injured two players to beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-2 on Thursday night.

The Dodgers scored two runs off Ryne Nelson in the fifth inning following a collision at first base that injured Diamondbacks first baseman Ildemaro Vargas and the Dodgers’ Max Muncy.

The Diamondbacks tied it in the eighth inning on Corbin Carroll’s leadoff homer and Geraldo Perdomo’s run-scoring single.

Paul Sewald (2-4) then worked around Will Smith’s two-out double in the ninth to set up Marte’s walk-off celebration.

Marte did it on the first pitch he saw from Tanner Scott (1-3), tossing his bat nearly all the way to Arizona’s dugout following a towering shot to left that sent his teammates charging out of the dugout.

Nelson didn’t allow a hit until Kyle Tucker’s leadoff single in the fifth inning, but the collision at first base and two misplayed balls in the outfield after that led to two runs.

The collision came when Vargas fielded a ball hit up the line by Muncy and tried to beat him to the bag. Both players went flying into the air before thudding to the ground and lay on the field for several minutes before slowly heading to the dugout.

Santiago Espinal replaced Muncy and scored on Ryan Ward’s double when Carroll took a bad angle on the ball in right. Ward scored when Dalton Rushing’s short fly ball fell between Diamondbacks left fielder Tommy Troy and center fielder Ryan Waldschmidt.

Dodgers starter Justin Wrobleski scattered six hits in six scoreless innings.

Dodgers Roki Sasaki (3-3, 4.59 ERA) pitches the opener of a three-game series against the Angels on Friday. Arizona RHP Merrill Kelly (5-3, 5.06) pitches Friday in the opener of a three-game series against Washington.

Over / Under

Picked Jun 4 @ 12:36 pm, 1 unit on FanDuel

WIN

Since I’m going to Chase Field tonight, I’m going to need some action on the game. Unfortunately I won’t be seeing the best player in baseball, Shohei Ohtani, which makes me like the under even more. Surprisingly, this group of Dodgers hitters: Freddie Freeman, Andy Pages, Max Muncy, and Will Smith is a collective 7-for-52 (.135) lifetime against Ryne Nelson so I would be surprised if the Dodgers went ham tonight. On the other side, Justin Wrobleski has a 2.87 ERA for Los Angeles and faces an Arizona that has lost 5 of its last 6 games. I enjoy watching lower scoring baseball games and expect to see one in person tonight.

Eric’s Pick

Arizona +1.5-130

Point Spread

Picked Jun 4 @ 7:37 am, 0.5 unit on bet365

WIN

After another dominating performance on the mound and the plate Wednesday in a blowout win, Shohei Ohtani will not play tonight in the series finale in the desert. His bat has really come alive on an eight-game hitting streak, so that will be missed. Arizona pitcher Ryne Nelson has had three straight quality starts at home. L.A. southpaw Justin Wrobleski (7-2, 2.87 ERA) has been great, but the Snakes are 9-4 vs. lefties with the No. 2 OPS in the majors against them. A one-run loss works just fine.

Natasha Mack scores career-high 16 and the Mercury beat the Storm 72-68 to snap 7-game skid
AP

Jun 04, 2026

SEATTLE (AP) Natasha Mack scored a career-high 16 points to go with 10 rebounds, Kahleah Copper also had 16 points, and the Phoenix Mercury beat the Seattle Storm 72-68 on Wednesday night to snap a seven-game losing streak.

Awa Fam scored 18 points and Natisha Hiedeman added 15 for Seattle (3-8), which has lost four straight games.

Copper put the Mercury ahead 61-59 with 5:37 remaining and they did not trail again.

DeWanna Bonner made a jumper, fast-break layup and free throw to extend Phoenix’s lead to 68-61 with 2:39 left.

Seattle got within one possession twice in the final 20 seconds, but Copper went 4 for 4 at the free-throw line to seal it.

Monique Akoa Makani added 12 points, and Bonner scored five of her 10 points in the final four minutes for Phoenix (3-8), which secured its first victory since beating Chicago on May 15.

Phoenix led 36-33 at halftime despite shooting just 35% from the field, including 2 of 13 from 3-point range. The Mercury went 10 of 13 from the stripe, while Seattle did not attempt a free throw.

Hiedeman scored 10 of the Storm’s 22 points in the third to help them take a 55-52 lead entering the fourth.

The teams combined to go 12 of 55 from 3-point range.

Phoenix: Plays at Portland on Friday.

Seattle: Travels to play Minnesota on Saturday.

Zverev vying for fourth grand slam final appearance

Second-seeded Alexander Zverev has the lowest time on court this tournament, winning every set he’s played except one during the third round against Quentin Halys. Zverev made quick work of Rafael Jodar on Tuesday, a masterful outing that showcased his entire repertoire.

Up next for Zverev is his quest for his first career grand slam is Jakub Mensik, who assured there would be no teen sensations in the semifinals after disposing of hard-hitting Brazilian Joao Fonseca in straight sets during the quarters. It was easily his most impressive showing thus far on clay this season and revealed there’s another legitimate threat capable of being a first-time French Open champion.

Before running into quick trouble against Mensik, Fonseca was coming off wins against Novak Djokovic and Casper Ruud. Mensik answered every drop shot with cross-court precision and played well on serve.

It was a much-needed coasting of sorts prior to a long-lasting final game for Mensik, who was coming off a pair five-set wins in the tournament and overcame a 6-0 loss to Alex de Minaur in the first set of the third round to prevail in four. During that match with de Minaur, Mensik struggled with cramps and dehydration.

He’s now two wins away from etching his name in history on clay.

Shnaider stuns Sabalenka, Chwalinska prevails

World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka made 57 unforced errors in the final set during Wednesday’s shocking 6-3, 5-7, 0-6 loss to Russian Diana Shnaider, her second quarterfinals setback in her last three trips to the Paris grand slam. Sabalenka led 4-1 and was two points away from moving on at 5-3 in the second set before unraveling.

This is 25th-seeded Shnaider’s first trip to a semifinal at a major in her career.

“I feel like I had very decent opportunities in the second set, I screwed up, and then she stepped in and she played great,” Sabalenka said. “I feel like mentally I couldn’t really recover after the second set. That was the biggest mistake from me. Mentally I got into a very deep, deep, dark hole and I just couldn’t get back mentally on track.”

In the other quarterfinals match, unseeded Maja Chwalinska took out No. 22 Anna Kalinskaya 7-6, 6-3. She’ll play Shnaider up next while 19-year-old phenom Mirra Andreeva, the highest seed left in the women’s bracket at No. 8, battles Ukraine’s Marta Kostyuk. Andreeva has looked dominate throughout the tournament only dropping one set.

Andreeva, who’s appearing in her second French Open semifinal, took out Sorana Cirstea 6-0, 6-3 with ease on Tuesday. Her backhand’s already a world-class weapon, but Andreeva’s all-court game suggests she’s ready to reach her first final.

“Well, for me it doesn’t matter who I play,” Andreeva said after she was asked about the matchup of Kostyuk. “I really try to play against the ball that is coming at me. Usually it doesn’t matter to me who I’m playing against, so I’m trying to really focus on the game and on the game plan that I have to use on the court.”

Jalen Brunson scores 30 and Knicks finish on 11-0 run, steal Game 1 from Spurs with 105-95 win

AP
Jun 04, 2026

SAN ANTONIO (AP) The New York Knicks’ winning streak lives on, and they struck first in the NBA Finals.

Jalen Brunson scored 30 points, Karl-Anthony Towns finished with 18 points and 12 rebounds, and the Knicks erased a 14-point second-half deficit to beat the San Antonio Spurs 105-95 in Game 1 of the finals on Wednesday night.

OG Anunoby had 17 points for New York – which has won 12 consecutive playoff games, the seventh team to have such a streak in NBA history, and is the third to do it in a single season. Brunson scored 13 points in the fourth, only six fewer than San Antonio managed as a team in that quarter, and sealed it with a spinning jumper while falling to the court with 38 seconds left.

“He’s a gamer, man,” Knicks coach Mike Brown said. “In the biggest moments, he shows up. That’s what MVPs are supposed to do.”

And the Knicks, who finished on an 11-0 run, made a little more history. They became the first team to beat San Antonio in a Game 1 of the title series – the Spurs were 6-0 in those – and this is also the first time the Spurs have trailed a finals before the finish.

As far as single-season playoff winning streaks – Golden State won 15 straight games in the 2017 postseason on its way to the title. San Antonio won 12 straight in 1999 on its way to the title. And now New York has won 12 in a row, with its title status to be determined.

“I think we know what we have to do,” Brunson said. “I think we’re a pretty together group.”

Victor Wembanyama had 26 points and 12 rebounds for the Spurs, but he shot 6 for 21 from the field in his finals debut. Stephon Castle scored 17, while Julian Champagnie and Dylan Harper each had 16 for San Antonio.

“I was bad tonight,” Wembanyama said. “It’s not more complicated than that.”

Game 2 is Friday in San Antonio.

Former San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich was at the game, as he’s been for every finals game in Spurs history, albeit watching from a suite and not stomping the San Antonio sideline. The Spurs legends – David Robinson, Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili, Bruce Bowen and more – were there, too.

So were Knicks great Patrick Ewing and the world’s most recognizable New York fans: Spike Lee, Tracy Morgan, Ben Stiller, Fat Joe, Timothée Chalamet and more. Plenty of non-celeb Knicks fans made the trip as well; Tommy Sherlock, a auto sales manager from Brooklyn, said it cost less for two Game 1 tickets in San Antonio, with hotel and airfare, than Game 3 tickets in New York would have set him back.

“First-class air, too,” Sherlock said. “By a lot.”

The Knicks led 14-7 early, the Spurs answered with a 20-13 run to go up by 10, the Knicks rallied and the second quarter saw six lead changes before San Antonio took a 55-48 lead into the break.

San Antonio pushed the lead to 14 midway through the third quarter before the Knicks stormed back, finishing the period on a 22-9 run and sending the game into the fourth tied at 76.

New York’s lead was eight midway through the final period. Wembanyama made a pair of free throws with 2:16 left to put San Antonio up 95-94, but Brunson made a corner 3 on the next possession to put the Knicks on top for good.

“I think we let that one go,” Wembanyama said.

San Antonio’s run of never trailing the finals had some close calls over the years. The Spurs were tied twice with New Jersey in 2003 finals, tied with Detroit twice in 2005, tied with Miami three times in 2013 – they lost that series in seven games, so they only trailed when it was over – and then were tied with the Heat once more in 2014.

It’s only 1-0. But the Knicks are only three wins away from their first title in 53 years, and they just took home-court advantage away from San Antonio.

“We have a long way to go,” Brunson said.

LOSS

Knicks score-first PG Jalen Brunson has registered at least six assists in eight of the Knicks’ last 10 games. He overall trended higher than that all season (6.8), and trended even higher against the Spurs, with 7, 8 and 8 assists. I think Josh Hart is going to have issues against Stephon Castle; Hart’s potential assists go to Brunson.

Adam’s Pick

Over 11.5-114

Victor Wembanyama • Rebounds • Player Prop

Picked Jun 3 @ 1:32 pm, 1 unit on FanDuel

WIN

Victor Wembanyama hasn’t had 12 rebounds in five straight games. Prior to that, though, he’d had at least 14 in seven of nine. I’ll lean on that latter trend. He had 13 rebounds in two of three regular-season meetings with Karl-Anthony Towns and the Knicks. He had 24 and 15 boards in Game 1 of the last two series.

Shohei Ohtani dominates in 6 scoreless innings, Dodgers rout Diamondbacks 7-0

PHOENIX (AP) Shohei Ohtani threw six scoreless innings, Kyle Tucker hit a two-run homer into the Chase Field pool and the Los Angeles Dodgers routed the Arizona Diamondbacks 7-0 on Wednesday night.

Ohtani (6-2) allowed two hits and struck out six while lowering his major league-best ERA to 0.74. He’s allowed one earned run in 24 innings during a four-game winning streak.

Ohtani also hit three singles and reached base five times, scoring a run.

Tucker hit his homer off Zac Gallen (3-5) in the second inning. Freddie Freeman added a two-run single in the third. Max Muncy followed with a run-scoring single and Alex Freeman’s two-run single in the seventh put the Dodgers up 7-0.

Los Angeles had 16 hits to win for the 16th time in 19 games.

Arizona had two hits in its fifth loss in six games since winning five straight.

Ohtani was frustrated with his command against Colorado despite winning his last start, dropping a few expletives that were picked up by the on-field mic.

The four-time MVP had a few control issues against the Diamondbacks as well.

Ohtani sailed his first warmup pitch into a group of photographers at the backstop – he of course apologized – and almost hit three different batters in the first three innings.

The right-hander was nearly unhittable when he did keep it around the plate.

Ohtani didn’t allow a hit until Gabriel Moreno’s double over first base with two outs in the fourth inning and induced an inning-ending double play after Geraldo Perdomo’s single in the sixth.

Ohtani threw 89 pitches and was lifted following the Dodgers’ long top half of the seventh inning.

Gallen allowed five runs – four earned – on nine hits in five innings.

Dodgers LHP Justin Wrobleski (7-2, 2.87 ERA) faces Diamondbacks RHP Ryne Nelson (2-4, 4.82) in Thursday’s series finale.
