CHARLOTTE, N.C. – At the 2010 Wells Fargo Championship, Rory McIlroy made the cut on the number. Jason Day remembers the moment like it was yesterday.
“We were right here and I'm putting on the putting green and Rory McIlroy walks past me and he is fuming, like he literally just made the cut on the number,” Day said Friday at Quail Hollow. “He ends up shooting 62 on Sunday to end up winning that tournament. I think I didn't finish overly great.”
Day finished tied for 22nd that week, but for whatever reason the Australian largely took the annual Charlotte-area stop off his schedule, playing the event just once before the 2017 PGA Championship, which was held at Quail Hollow.
