JT Poston sends message to wife Kelly after major personal news.

The Memorial Tournament saw J.T Poston and Ryan Gerrard playing a tug of war for the lead, where Poston is gradually edging him out. He leads the field heading into the final round on Sunday at the Memorial Tournament.

Gerrard is coming off a tied-for-10th-place finish at the Charles Schwab Challenge after being in contention during the final round.

Poston, on the other hand, did not see much success this season. It is his first time being in contention for the win. He is looking to improve his trophy count to four with a win at Muirfield Village.

Though there was not much to report on his golf game this year, plenty happened in his personal life.

Poston and his wife, Kelly, already parents to a daughter named Scottie, welcomed their second baby daughter, Grace, this year in March.
