Day (66) sprints down 18 to beat darkness, hugs DJ
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Jason Day has never been considered one of the game’s fastest players, but on Friday at the PGA Championship it was a sprint to the finish.
Really, the Australian sprinted up the 18th fairway to complete his second round following a lengthy weather delay.
As Day and Dustin Johnson made their way up the 17th hole in near darkness knowing that officials were going to suspend play at any moment they concocted a plan.
“We were talking if we can get a tee shot on 18, we could finish the round. And DJ is like, ‘I'll do it,’” Day said. “He hit it to 20 feet [on No. 17]. I'm like, oh, just hopefully he either holes it or hits it stone-dead, and he did.
