England's Justin Rose won the Memorial Sunday, rallying from four shots adrift to capture his first US PGA Tour victory. Rose posted a six-under par 66 without a bogey in the final round at Muirfield Village as he became the second straight Memorial champion to come from four strokes back to win. Tiger Woods did the same thing here last year. Rose won the six million-dollar event with a four-round total of 18-under 270. Rickie Fowler, the 21-year-old rookie who held a three-shot overnight lead over Ricky Barnes and Tim Petrovic, fell off the top of the leaderboard with a double bogey at the 12th, where he hit into the water. He carded a one-over 73 to claim second on 273 – three shots in front of Bo Van Pelt and Barnes. Woods, playing just his fourth tournament of the year and his first since a neck injury forced him out of the final round of the Players Championship three weeks ago, carded a fourth-round even-par 72. His tie for 19th on six-under 282 was his lowest finish since 2002 in the tournament he has won four times. Masters champion Phil Mickelson, who again could have overtaken Woods atop the world rankings with a victory this week, closed with a 77 to share fifth place on 277 with Ryan Moore (68) and Petrovic (74). McDowell triumphs Britain's Graeme McDowell came from four strokes behind to clinch the Wales Open title Sunday over Europe's Ryder Cup course for October's clash with the United States. McDowell's fifth European Tour victory came with a blistering final round eight-under-par 63 at Celtic Manor for a four-round 15-under 269 aggregate, three strokes better than fellow Briton Rhys Davies. Victory gave McDowell the 350,940 points on offer for first prize which took him to 10th on Europe's Ryder Cup table. Nine players will qualify automatically and then three wild-cards will be chosen by Europe's captain Colin Montgomerie. “I'd say this was the best round I've put together to win a tournament,” McDowell, winning for the first time in two years, told reporters. “This is a huge step towards my Ryder Cup hopes. I need a big summer and perhaps another win. But winning around here will be a feather in my cap if it should come down to wanting a wild-card.” As he did last week in Madrid, Northern Irishman McDowell, 30, came flying out of the blocks, claiming six birdies in the first eight holes to storm past struggling overnight leader Marcel Siem of Germany. Siem, leading the field by three strokes after round three and McDowell by four, lost the tournament as early as the short third. Here he dumped two balls in the lake to run up a quadruple-bogey seven to plummet down the field. Montgomerie again struggled over the Twenty Ten opening holes but then rallied to pick up five shots in 10 holes for a 71 to be three-over
