Akunuri and Carter earn 2nd Green Towels in 4 years
Sam Akunuri and Karl Carter won a 3-way playoff to secure their 2nd Memorial Tournament title in 4 years. It was Akunuri’s 1-putt on the first sudden death hole that sealed the victory.
Akunuri and Carter birdied 2 of their last 3 holes to finish at 2-under 70 and forge the tie with the teams of Rick Persichetti and Kelly Arnold (34-36 – 70) and Jan Cepiga and Rob Lopez (32-38 – 70). Three teams shared 4th place just 1-stroke short of joining the playoff.
This is the 4th career win for Carter and the 2nd for Akunuri, both in their 6th year on Tour.
