Former World No. 1 Jason Day withdrew from the Wyndham Championship ahead of the second round, citing illness.
The 34-year-old Australian has plummeted to No. 140 in the world and hasn’t won since the 2018 Wells Fargo Championship. He opened the regular-season finale of the PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup with a 3-under 67 at Sedgefield Golf Club in Greensboro, North Carolina, and entered Friday’s play in a tie for 23rd place, six strokes off the lead held by John Huh.
Day likely will be eligible for next week’s FedEx St. Jude Championship in Memphis, the first of three FedEx Cup Playoff events.
