Brought to you by : LefthandGolfers.com

The Memorial Tournament is over, with a few Lefties in the field, and a couple of them in the top 10.

Former Masters Champion, Mike Weir, had a fantastic round on Sunday, moving day, with a 4 under par 68, unfortunately on the final day he finished with a 71 and a 4 way tie for 2nd, with Jerry Kelly, Justin Rose and Mathew Goggin. The eventual winner was Kenny Perry, who not only took home a nice winners cheque of $1,080,000, but became the only other person besides Tiger Woods to win the Memorial Tournament 3 times, possibly clinching a spot on the Ryder Cup.

Nick O’Hern (AUS) finished tied for 10th, with a disappointing final round of 76, leaving him 8 shots behind Perry.

Kiwi lefthand golfer Tim Wilkinson finished the tournament tied for 48th, 16 shots behind Perry after shooting 296, 72, 75, 75 and 74 respectively.
