The Tournament
The
Memorial Tournament is a 2
week
competition using the Stableford system of scoring with each player
submitting their total points for both weeks. This is a full handicap
tournament, net score on each hole is used to calculate points.
A Stableford competition is a golf tournament in which the object is to get the highest score. That's because in Stableford, golfers are awarded points based on their scores in relation to a par at each hole. The USGA and R&A define Stableford points in this manner:
• Net Double Bogey (2 over par) or worse (or no score returned) - 0 points
• Net Bogey (1 over par) - 1 point
• Net Par - 2 points
• Net Birdie (1 under par) - 3 points
• Net Eagle (2 under par) - 4 points
• Net Albatross (3 under par) - 5 points
• Net Condor (4 under par) or better - 6 points

2016 Champion: Anthony Sigona
2015
runner-up Peter Ennis jumped out to an early lead, shooting a gross 79,
which was good for 46 points. Hot on his heels were Linda shearman (43
points), Anthony Sigona (42 points) and Tom Condon (41 points). A few
others were still in the hunt at 39, but they would need some help.
Round 1 Scores
With Linda and Tom faltering in the second round, it seemed likely that Peter would claim his third Memorial title. Anthony wouldn't let that happen, as his second round 79 scored him 47 points. Peter's closing round 38 was good enough for second place.

Defending

champions. After an opening round 34, he trailed the leaders by 5
points. Rob Cohlan and Al Fricchione both had 39 points in Round 1,
with Ron Zappula (38) and Bruce Greenberg (37) close behind.
Round 1 Scores
Cohlan, Fricchione and Greenberg were neck and neck after 9 holes in round 2, but Peter Ennis made a late charge in the round. Peter's 39 points were good enough to move him into second place, as Al's final round 36 was enough to win the tournament.

2014 Champion: Tom Gramolini
This year's Memorial was a two round
marathon
requiring something rarely seen at Saxon Woods: one good
round
followed by another. Most of us are capable of breaking net
par
on one Saturday, but the next is most frequently a journey to the dark
side of golfdom. This year both Andy and Tom managed to get
net
under par two weeks in a row. But Tom's second round was
three
strokes better than Andy's and that was his margin of victory.
Tom shot a wonderful gross 77/net 67 to go with last week's net 69. No matter how you count the points that's a back to back performance to be proud of. Brian has put together all the scores and you'll find links below. But we didn't have to wait until all the cards were in to congratulate Tom on that great performance. Well done, Mr. Gramolini. Tom adds this major to his 2011 President's Cup victory.
The new scoring system assigned points to each hole's score, but the principle was the same as usual: par is one better than bogie, birdie is one better than par.... In the end points produced the same results as medal play:
