Gillis makes Champions cut after flying home, opts to WD

Cut sweats are few and far between on the PGA Tour Champions, but Tom Gillis ended up on the right side of one this week at the KitchenAid Senior PGA Championship. Unfortunately for Gillis, he didn't come to that realization until after boarding a plane and flying home.

Gillis shot 9 over for 36 holes in difficult conditions at Oak Hill, and when he walked off the course Friday afternoon that total left him three shots off the projected cut line at the over-50 major. So he packed up his things, headed to the airport and flew from Rochester to his home in Michigan.
