Graham eyes Memorial title as greens stay soft
Dublin Ohio AP David Graham remains confident as Memorial Tournament opens at Muirfield Village with a 400000 prize and a field led by past champions. Heavy May rain has softened greens, aiding approach shots while notable absentees Floyd Miller and Trevino reduce the field’s depth. Graham credits driving and irons for last year’s 8 under 280 win and predicts possible sub 280 scores if conditions stay soft. Fuzzy Zoeller posts 69 in the pro am despite back issues.
