While it was hard to decide which of the two Generation Now-ers to root for on Sunday, Rory McIlroy and Rickie Fowler landed on this weeks best-dressed list for separate yet equally valid reasons.
It was good while it lasted. D.A. Points bogey-free streak, that is. Points strung together 40 consecutive holes without a bogey in the third and fourth rounds at Quail Hollow and looked like he had the Wells Fargo Championship in the bag standing on the 18th tee Sunday evening.
Rory McIlroy made par on his final hole in the third round of the Wells Fargo Championship to post 66. Had it not been for a spectator’s butt, his score might have been higher.
After a 2011 season that included two victories, Nick Watneys 2012 has lacked the same luster. That may all change at the Wells Fargo Championship this week.
Almost one year after an undeserving penalty stroke cost Webb Simpson the Zurich Classic title, Ryan Moore had a similar misfortune in his second round at Quail Hollow.
Stewart Cinks opening 65 at Quail Hollow may have been his lowest round this year, but it wasnt a fluke. He followed it up with a second-round 69 Friday morning.
Rory McIlroy celebrated his 23rd birthday with a second-round 68 at the Wells Fargo Championship. Hes looking to add another Quail Hollow victory to his resume, after notching his maiden PGA Tour victory in Charlotte two years ago.
It wasnt Tiger Woods first miss this week at Quail Hollow, but it was the first miss that couldnt be recovered. Woods hit his tee shot left at the par-5 fifth into a sea of fans, but when the crowd parted, no golf ball could be found.
