PGA Tour urged to make rule change after what Matt Fitzpatrick was seen doing at Memorial

Matt Fitzpatrick drew criticism for slow play during the third round of the Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village on Saturday, June 6, 2026, with Sky Sports commentator Jay Townsend calling for a PGA Tour rule change regarding re-marking balls on the green. Fitzpatrick took a lengthy amount of time to line up his birdie putt on the par-five 15th hole, prompting the on-air rebuke. The Englishman, who has won three times on the PGA Tour in 2026 and reached world number four, was sitting at three-over par in a tie for 32nd at the time of the incident.
