Duke golf: Kevin Streelman’s week mercifully comes to an end at Memorial
It wasn’t the best week for former Duke golf star Kevin Streelman as he struggled throughout the Memorial Tournament in Ohio.
Sometimes you just don’t have it, and it was one of those weeks for Kevin Streelman at the Memorial Tournament presented by Nationwide.
Played at the same golf course which saw him near the top of the leaderboard last week at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio, the former Blue Devil wasn’t able to lean on one club or skill to push him through the week.

Streelman started his week off with a three-over 75 on Thursday followed up a one-under 71 on Friday, which just slid him under the cutline and allowed him to play the weekend.
While obviously making the cut is something all golfers want to do, what came next for Streelman is something all golfers try and avoid.
Kevin Streelman dropped a six-over 78 on moving day, shooting him down the leaderboard with no chance of coming close to getting in contention with only one round left to play.
As one of the first players on the course on Sunday, Streelman fired a one-over 73 to close his week, which placed him with a four-round score of nine-over for the tournament.
