Kyle Reifers, 23, is a PGA Tour rookie who grew up in Muirfield Village.
Kyle Reifers has been outside the Memorial Tournament ropes as an autograph-seeking kid and was inside them four years ago as a caddie for Jay Haas. He'll enjoy the ultimate experience this year. Reifers, 23, a PGA Tour rookie who grew up in Muirfield Village, has been given a sponsor's exemption to play in the Memorial, tournament officials announced today. The tournament is May 31 through June 3 at Muirfield Village Golf Club.
"It's a great thrill," said Reifers, a Watterson High School graduate who qualified for the tour in December on his first attempt. "Hopefully (the exemption) will be a one-time thing and I'll get in on my own (in the future). But right now I can't be more grateful and appreciative of the opportunity to play. Growing up there, there's no bigger tournament than the Memorial."
