Golf: Jason Day had the commentators in stitches after he admonished himself for an errant tee shot on the final day of the PGA Championship.
'W*****' - Day caught out by hot mic | 00:35 Min Woo Lee all but shattered Cameron Smith ’s slim Olympic hopes, finishing strong as the leading Australian at theLee declared he was “trending in the right direction ” after closing with a four-under 67, good enough to finish in a tie for 26th with a rankings boost likely to propel him from 36 and more spots clear of Smith who had a Sunday struggle as Xander Schauffele recorded his breakthrough major championship win .
He would need to win the US Open next month to have any chance of leaping over Lee who will continue to rack up the rankings points which will determine Olympic spots as Smith heads back to the LIV tour before the year’s third major. “My driving wasn’t too good the last couple of days,” Lee said after a positive finish to the tournament in Louisville, Kentucky.“But it didn’t feel comfortable over the last two days, so it was quite tough to make some birdies.“I’m definitely trending in the right direction. I feel like I’m slowly becoming a better player.
But there were no final day heroics from the 28-year-old Victorian who instead went backwards, tumbled down the leaderboard after opening with a double-bogey and finally finish with a three-over 74. Herbert ended up in a tie for 43rd at six under with, among others, fellow Australian Jason Day, who closed with a 71 at a disappointing event for the Australian contingent.
