Aaron Rai wins Wyndham Championship as leader implodes down stretch
Max Greyserman coming to the finish of a crazy long day, but it was all going his way.
Starting the day one back of Matt Kuchar after nearly shooting 59 in the second round Friday evening, Greyserman pulled out ahead three-quarters of the way through Sunday at the Wyndham Championship finale thanks to three eagles over the third and fourth rounds. The third of which coming on the 13th hole of the fourth round, his 31st of the day, when he spun a wedge back from 91 yards for a duce.
It was seven minutes to 7 p.m. ET with just about 75 minutes until sunset on a day that began for Greyserman at 9:40 a.m. after heavy rainfall from Tropical Storm Debby wiped out Thursday play, forcing the third and fourth rounds to both be held Sunday.
He doubled his lead to four shots as he headed to the tee of Sedgefield Country Club’s hardest hole and raced to play the last five.
Then, golf happened.
Greyserman wiped his tee shot on the 14th hole out of bounds, then compounded it by playing his 4th shot into a bunker and ended up making a quadruple bogey. Two holes later, after rebounding with a birdie to regain the lead, he four-putted the 16th green for a double.
That opened the door for Aaron Rai. Rai was leading the chase for second all day as Greyserman raced out ahead, but as the rookie struggled, the veteran hung tough. On the 72nd, after the sun had already set, Rai threw a dart of an iron from 200 yards into the heart of the green, rolling out to just seven feet. He drained the putt to slam the door shut on Greyserman in the fairway and win the Wyndham Championship for his first PGA Tour victory.
