Day 63 leads McIlroy T17 in first round of Wells Fargo Championship
On May 6, Beijing time, the Wells Fargo Championship with a total prize money of 9 million US dollars will end its first round at the TPC Potomac Stadium in Potomac, Maryland. – Day shot 8 birdies, 1 bogey 63 (-7) to lead by one shot. Joel – Damen shot 64 (-6), alone in second place. Matthew Wolff, Denny McCarthy, Alan Rye, Callum Taron, and Paul Bazon shot 65 (-5) and tied for third. Defending champion McIlroy had a 67 (-3) to tie for 17th.
Jenson Day, 34, has been practicing his swing with coach Chris Cuomo, adjusting to the impact of his back injury. He said every shot felt solid except for the driver. His strong will and relatively good health are an encouraging thing. Jenson Day won eight titles in the 15 months of the 2015-16 season, including the PGA Championship and The Players Championship.
Jenson Day has not won the championship for nearly four years. “Obviously, we have some bad weather, which is really difficult. So I think we will go into the research mode in the next few days, which I like.” Sen-Day said. “I think about the swing in the morning, the swing in the day, the swing in the evening. At 12 p.m., I had some conversations with Chris just because I had an idea in my head, a certain feeling.”
“It’s different now than when I was No. 1, and while the technology may not be as simple as it is now, I have a lot of confidence in the world, especially on the greens. So that’s always been my goal,” Day said.
Defending champion Rory McIlroy was also the world‘s highest-ranked player in the tournament. The only big mistake in his first-round performance was a tee shot, which was the par 4 hole on No. 4 where he teeed too far to the left. A penalty and a messy chip led to a double bogey, but he bounced back with birdies on the next two holes for a 67 (-3) to tie for 17th.
Joel Da made 6 birdies on the front nine, and made consecutive birdies on the 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th holes. After turning to the back nine, he made the only bogey on the 11th hole, but at 17 A 7-foot birdie on the hole resulted in a 64 (-6) and finished second alone. (Editor: Jason)Return to Sohu, see more
