adminMIAMI. — World number one golfer Jason Day overcame a sluggish start on Sunday to win the US PGA Players Championship, firing a final-round one-under-par 71 to complete a wire-to-wire victory.
Day matched the TPC Sawgrass course record with an opening-round 63 and followed with a 66 on his way to a 72-hole total of 15-under 273 for a four-stroke victory over American Kevin Chappell. “This is up there,” Day said when asked the magnitude of his 10th career US PGA triumph in a tournament often seen as golf’s unofficial fifth major.
“I just wanted to win this so bad. This could possibly push me over to get into the Hall of Fame one day and I’m just glad I managed to win it.” — AFP.
