Matt Kuchar always seems to be in contention these last couple years. And he did it again, tying for second at The Memorial Tournament in Dublin, OH this past weekend.
Mark Wilson would be in the hunt at the Memorial Tournament if fellow Wisconsin native Steve Stricker weren't blitzing the field. Wilson sits at 7-under 209 through 54 holes, good for a top-five position, but still five strokes off the lead.
Which young player will take over the PGA, and when will he begin winning? Rory McIlroy and others have the talent. But mistakes and inconsistent play have limited their success so far.
Steve Stricker has not missed a cut in 2011. And with his 4-under 68 in Thursday's first round of the Memorial Tournament, he will probably make another. With such solid play, Stricker likes his chances at the U.S. Open in a couple weeks.
