SportsLine Model Backs Russell Henley at +2000, Fades Cameron Young After 10,000 Simulations

Summary
10,000 simulations of the 2026 Memorial Tournament pushed SportsLine's model toward Russell Henley at +2000 and away from Cameron Young at +1600 ahead of Thursday's start at Muirfield Village.
Henley enters off his sixth PGA Tour win at the Charles Schwab Challenge, owns three other top-10 finishes this season, and ranked fifth at the Memorial in 2025.
Muirfield's length appears central to the pick: the course is the PGA Tour's fourth-longest, and Henley leads the tour in driving accuracy, a profile the model sees as a strong fit.
Young, despite the third-shortest odds, has never finished inside the top 20 in four Memorial starts and has broken par only once in his last 12 rounds at Muirfield Village.
Scottie Scheffler remains the +310 favorite as he chases a third straight Memorial title, with Rory McIlroy at +1200 in the final major tune-up before the U.S. Open.
