Monday 7 May 2018 11:24, UK
Jason Day almost aced the par-three 17th hole on his way to winning the Wells Fargo Championship at Quail Hollow for a 12th PGA Tour title.
The former world No 1 held a two-shot lead heading into the final round in Charlotte, North Carolina and a fourth birdie of his final round, at the 10th, saw the Australian maintain command.
Pressure from nearest rivals Nick Watney and Aaron Wise and back-to-back bogeys at the 13th and 14th saw the Australian lose his grasp on proceedings and fall into co-leadership, only for the 2015 PGA Championship winner to show his experience with a birdie at the 16th.
Day then took aim with a seven-iron from 230 yards and after a heavy first bounce on the green, the ball clattered into the flagstick before coming to rest three feet from the pin to regain sole lead.
The 30-year-old would hole the ensuing putt for birdie before a par at the 18th secured a two-shot victory.
