A year ago Billy Horschel won the Memorial Tournament by four shots and golf will never have felt more straightforward. There would be a Presidents Cup debut later in the year but this year has been a real struggle. In his pre-tournament press conference he talked about there being two lows but his opening round was far beyond what has happened this season.
The seven-time PGA Tour winner, he also secured the PGA at Wentworth in 2021, opened up with a 12-over 84 at Muirfield Village which featured no birdies, six bogeys and three doubles. There was even a double-hit in there which would have counted as two shots before the new rules were introduced in 2019.
