The 2016 Memorial came down to the very last hole for both the MPO and FPO Divisions. In the ladies division, it was a two person race as both Catrina Allen and Paige Pierce battled it out all week. Tied going into the final hole, bith players laid up for an easy tap in. Unfortunately from about 5 feet away, Pierce missed her putt and Catrina Allen claimed the victory in shocking fashion.
Paul McBeth and Nate Sexton took over the course and stole the show for most of the 18 holes at Fountain Hills. McBeth birdied 7 of the last 8 holes to overcome a one stroke lead and defeat Sexton by one stroke. McBeth finished the tournament at 182 (-45) overall. Sexton comes in at (-44) with Nikko Locastro and Simon Lizotte charging from the second card to tie for 3rd at (-41).
