Memorial Tournament
Muirfield Village, Dublin, Ohio
The buzz before the Memorial Tournament this week was that the world's #1 and #2 players would be in the field, Tiger Woods and Rory McIlory. Come Sunday there was no buzz as McIlory missed the cut and Woods fired a disappointing 2nd round 79. Woods finished tied for 65th, five spots from last place amongst those who made the cut.
By tournament's end the buzz was surrounding Matt Kuchar. The crowds were not booing. They were yelling "Koooooch!" Kuchar's play was the model of consistency this week. 68-70-70-68. The final round 68 was enough to hold off Kevin Chappell for a two shot victory.
With the win Kuchar moves to 2nd place in FedEx Cup points behind Tiger Woods. Kuchar also becomes the only player other than Woods to have multiple wins on the 2013 PGA Tour season.

Principal Charity Classic
Wakonda Golf Club, Des Moines, Iowa
2012 was a tough year for Russ Cochran, bitten by the injury bug with shoulder and rib problems.
2013 is already brighter for Cochran, who won the Principal Charity Classic by one shot over Jay Don Blake.
"I didn't really expect to win. But I knew I could compete and get in contention. Of course, when you do that, sometimes good things happen."

ShopRite LPGA Classic
Stockton Seaview Golf Club, Galloway, New Jersey
Karrie Webb picked up the win and the cool $225K that comes with winning the ShopRite LPGA Classic. In this 54 hole event, Webb fired rounds of 72-69-68 to give herself a two shot cushion over Shanshan Feng and three over Hee Young Park.
The win marked the 39th of Webb's LPGA Tour career and moved her into 11th in the all time career LPGA Tour wins position.
