The Memorial Tournament is probably one of the most talked-about tournaments today, despite it not being a major. The golf course built by Jack holds unique importance among golfers to compete in the tough setup.

Not only the golf course, but there is something even more attractive for the players – the prize money. The amount falls under the top 10 PGA Tour events.

The prize money has increased ahead of the 2022 edition significantly. Notably, the amount in the purse for the Memorial Tournament is more than the four majors on the PGA Tour.

Who is the leader after the first round at the Memorial Tournament 2022?

Round one went on without any sort of weather delay, and it looks like the rest of the week is going to be great as well. Everything went well until Hideki Matsuyama got disqualified for using a club that appeared to give him a sort of unfair advantage over others.

The round ended with a six-way tie at 5-under in the first place. The tie included Cameron Young, Luke List, Cameron Smith, K.H. Lee, Mackenzie Hughes, and Davis Riley, who will all enter as co-leaders on Friday.
