PERRY'S A BACK-TO-BACK WINNER

Kenny Perry was never headed during the final round, winning the Memorial for his second title in as many weeks.

Coming off a victory at the Colonial, Perry became the second back-to-back winner of the year on the USPGA Tour, joining Ernie Els, who took the first two tournaments of the season.

Perry had five bogeys in the final six holes, but limped in with an even-par 72 in gusty winds at Muirfield Village. He finished at 13-under 275, two shots better than Lee Janzen.

Masters champion Mike Weir of Canada birdied the last hole for a sizzling 65, which lifted him to third place at 10-under 278.

"I like the way I am playing going into the (US) Open," said Weir, whose round included nine birdies and two bogeys.

Tiger Woods matched Weir for the low round of the day to finish tied for fourth with Vijay Singh of Fiji at nine-under 279.

But the day, or the week, belonged to the 42-year-old Perry, who collected £550,000 for his sixth victory on the PGA Tour. He also won here in 1991.

Perry started the round two shots ahead of Janzen, birdied the second hole to go three up and extended his lead to five strokes with a birdie at the ninth.
