Third in SG: Approach at Muirfield Watson closed with a four-over 76 on Sunday at the Memorial Tournament to finish four-over and tied for 32nd. Impact Watson rebounded from a first-round 78 by playing his next 18 holes 10 shots better with a four-under 68 in Round 2, eventually hanging on to average four par-breakers per round at Muirfield Village while also ranking third in SG: Approach, sixth in SG: Tee-to-Green and 11th in SG: Off-the-Tee. Watson had missed the cut in three consecutive starts from the Travelers Championship through the Workday Charity Open, so this ball-striking effort at the Memorial was much needed ahead of his upcoming 3M Open debut.
