DUBLIN, Ohio — Matt Kuchar rolled in one last birdie to win the Memorial by two shots Sunday and join Tiger Woods as the only multiple winners on the PGA Tour this year.

Kuchar was challenged briefly at the turn by Kyle Stanley, then late Sunday when Kevin Chappell birdied three of his last four holes. Kuchar needed only to two-putt from 20 feet for the win, and he made the putt for 4-under 68.

Kuchar, who goes to No. 4 in the world, had never won twice in one season. He captured the Match Play Cham­pionship in February.

Tiger Woods closed with 72 and finished 20 shots behind, his largest deficit since 1996.
