CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The last time Gary Woodland began the final round in contention at a PGA Tour event was in October 2019 in Japan, which will make Sunday at the Wells Fargo Championship only feel like a lifetime away.
Woodland rebounded from back-to-back bogeys at Nos. 13 and 14 with a birdie at the 17th hole and was tied with Rory McIlroy for second place at 7 under and two shots behind front-runner Keith Mitchell.
Although improved health is a big part of Woodland’s turnaround this week, he also decided it was time for a change after missing the cut last week at the Valspar Championship and he reconnected with swing coaches Butch Harmon and Pete Cowen.
