Sunday's final round of the 2015 Memorial Tournament began with a past champion in Justin Rose atop the leaderboard but ended with first-time PGA Tour winner David Lingmerth claiming the trophy at Muirfield Village Golf Club in a three-hole playoff.    

Matching pars on the first two sudden-death holes at the 18th preceded the players' trip to the par-four 10th, where Lingmerth had a big advantage in hitting the fairway as Rose drove it in the right rough. A solid two-putt par was good enough for Lingmerth to get the job done.

There are few other ways to describe Rose's final two holes to cap off a level-par 72 than pulse-pounding and spellbinding. Typically reserved for a visually stunning blockbuster tentpole, such descriptors aren't hyperbolic in the least.

Rose piped a 373-yard drive downwind on the 71st hole, stuck a 97-yard lob wedge to 10 feet and hit a pure putt to match Lingmerth, who missed his first putt in 16 attempts inside 10 feet on the 18th to pad his lead. The PGA Tour's Twitter feed had the highlight:



After his first shot on No. 18 found the right fairway trap, Rose shanked his 8-iron into the crowd and struck a fan in the head. Thankfully the fan was responsive and received an autographed glove from Rose, but it was still a tricky up-and-down for par.

Somehow, Rose managed to convert:
